How often have you heard someone say, “That’s not fair, life is not fair, or God is not Fair”. What does it mean to be “fair”?

When we see tragedy occurring throughout the world, or we experience something in our life that hurts, we sometimes ask, “Why do bad things happen to good people?

In spite of what you see happening in our world, or in your life, know that your complete faith and trust must be in God. Nothing happens in our life unless God ordains it, or allows it. God is good, and know that whatever happens, he is working it for our good.

We are not the first generation to experience disasters, tragedy, or have suffered at the hands of someone with evil intentions. Oftentimes, God allows these things to happen because we are being disciplined, or its part of a greater plan.

For example, remember what happened to Joseph when his brothers threw him in the pit? They meant it for “evil”, but God allowed it to happen for “good”. Joseph went from the pit to the palace, so he could be in a position to help the people survive the famine.

There are many things our minds will never quite understand. When some of us see suffering, catastrophic events, or what is perceived as “unfair”, we are quick to say “Why doesn’t God do something?”. Actually, what you see happening, is God doing something for a greater purpose than we know. Rest assured, God still has everything under control.

God is not fair. He is absolutely Excellent! God is a just God.

In this Episode, we will look at a small book in the Bible, the book of Habakkuk (haa-buh-kuhk), It will help us answer the question, “Why Do Bad Things Happen To Good People”?

Ever wondered how a game of Checkers can mirror the rise and fall of kings?

Join us on Walking in the Light as Elders Randall and Deborrah K. Ogans explore the lives of King Saul and Abimelech, drawing profound lessons on leadership, power, and the consequences of ignoring God's wisdom.

This episode draws a fascinating parallel between the game of Checkers and real-life leadership. Just as in Checkers, where the goal is to become a king and gain almost unlimited power on the board, leaders in real life often strive for power and authority. However, as the stories of Saul and Abimelech reveal, the pursuit of power without adherence to God's wisdom can lead to downfall and disaster.

Through an engaging discussion, we uncover the importance of patience, repentance, and submission to God's will, emphasizing that Christ is the true King and that ethical leadership is paramount in the church, and in our political arena.

In this episode titled "King Me - Checkered Kings," we recount the disobedience of King Saul, which led to his downfall, and the ruthless ambition of Gideon's son Abimelech to become King, after the death of Gideon, that ended in violence and his demise. Discover how Gideon's victory was a testament to God's intervention and learn the tragic tale of Abimelech's treachery.

We conclude by highlighting the sovereignty of God, and true kingship, urging listeners to seek Him first and live in accordance with His will.

Tune in for a compelling narrative that encourages a balanced life filled with wisdom and faith, reflecting on personal and spiritual growth. Join us in walking in the light and glorifying God each day.

It's important to Know What You Believe, in respect to God The Father, Jesus Christ His Son, the Holy Spirit, and the Bible.

Through studying the Scriptures and applying their principles daily, we grow in our knowledge of God, fostering a relationship with Him, and solidifying our beliefs.

In this episode, we share some history of our upbringing in the Church, hearing and learning about God, which helped us gain godly wisdom, establish a firm foundation, and to be doers of the word.

Jesus said "Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock." Matthew 7:24-25

Our hope is built on nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness. On Christ the solid rock we stand, all other ground is sinking sand.

By truly knowing God and what you believe, you are better equipped to speak what you know, and to stand on His principles and promises, ensuring your faith remains unshaken by others' attempts to undermine it.

During this episode, we also take a look at the "Apostle's Creed". This creed dates back to the 6th Century and does an excellent job of summarizing what we believe.

We pray this episode will help you to "Know What YOU Believe".
