Welcome to Follow The Leader FTL

The Great Conductor. We all have been invited to bring our talent to the orchestra of Christ. So many are playing their life as a solo, not realizing it sounds like a meaningless gong. We are constantly trying to make music out of our lives, but our heart strings have become dull. With no rhyme or rhythm to life, just confusion of what kind of note to play next. Praise God, Jesus came to write his notes on our hearts. He set his stanza on the the Cross so we could play our li

Those who want to live godly will be persecuted. To live a lifestyle that reflects the Gospel many times goes against the culture of the world. The more we try to fit into the world the more the world begins to change us. We must be spiritual salt to a moralless society. A people that love others, free from the love of money. Not proud, stuck up, rude and disobedient to authority. But grateful, full of Holy Spirit in heart and in deed. Speaking words of affirmation and not cr

Sometimes I feel like Christian little. The sky is falling! The sky is falling! Jesus is coming again soon! The world is falling deeper and deeper into sin, destroying everything we hold sacred in its path. The light of righteousness is being dimmed by the growing darkness in man's heart. Many say, where is the promise of His coming? Ever since our ancestors fell asleep, all things continue as they have been since the beginning of creation. They want to forget that long ago t

Lord, you gave your perfect life for me. And in exchange I give you my broken life. This life I have is full of past failures and regrets. I have done so many foolish things that I am not proud of. Things I am ashamed of and reluctant to share with others to save me of embarassment. Yet you ask me to offer my life to you and to please you only. To not be shaped by the spirit and culture of this world but be transformed by Holy Spirit. This is the spiritual way for me to worsh

There is a seed growing inside you. God placed it in you when you accepted Christ as Saviour. When you gave your life to him he gave you his. Little by little what sin you practiced wilfully is becoming disgusting to you. What you once enjoyed doing openly you don't even enjoy doing it secretly anymore. This means the Gospel is taking root, your spirit and body moan in agony! What is a planting of the Lord produces the fruit of repentance and faith. Revealing that you are a t

When we sin we have put ourselves on shaky ground. What we think is level is actually unstable for a faithful life. Before we realize it sin has us rolling down a hill of excuses and painful sorrow. Sin will leave you in all types of spiritual terrain. There is a rocky ground that keeps us slipping and falling to where you can't get up. The pain from falling into sin keeps you from pursuing Christ. There is muddy ground that makes it impossible for you to keep a clean conscie

Why do we ask God for what we think is good? We should ask Him for what He thinks is good for us? When God formed all the wild animals and all the birds out of the ground. He brought them to the man to see what he would call them. Notice it was not man bringing to God but God bringing to man. Whatever the man called each creature became its name. We often attempt to present our Creator what we think is good by justifying our actions, promising to do better, trying to put the

Everything is ready for you to move forward in your new life in Christ. The only problem is that sin keeps deflating your tires. The engine of your heart is running good. The oil of Holy Spirit is flowing smoothly through you. The windows of your soul are down feeling the fresh breeze of peace on your face. All of sudden wilfull sin comes as a nail or metal shard into your road of life. The tires of your flesh have become worn, beaten down by trial and temptation. The tread

I heard a true story about a godly man that was going through a painful trial in his life. He was fed up with his troubled spirit and the constant attacks of the evil one. He knew God was faithful and that he would see him through. So he put his faith to action by boldly grabbing two chairs and putting them face to face in a room. He said, devil sit down in this chair. I am going to worship God and your going to watch me. Praise God, even in the presence of our enemies we can

Every dead end is an opportunity to turn around. Yes you look foolish because you were racing down a road you had never traveled. Not realizing it lead to darkness and empty purpose. Like a wilderness that you cannot get yourself out from. Why stay in a dead end life? Do you have too much pride to go back and retrace your steps? See where you may have made an error that could be corrected. We must turn our lives around and head back towards the crossroads. The place where our
