Welcome to Follow The Leader FTL

You have marked me. Though he slay me, yet will I hope in him. And so, Lord, where do I put my hope? My only hope is in you. There is no one else that I can go to! Your words give eternal life. You cut me so deep I can't help but look to you for healing and comfort. Jesus, you are the Living Word. You are alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, you penetrate even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; judging the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. I

The self indulgent. So many people love to promote self indulgence. Do what you want, do what feels good, and live your life you only live once. Proclaiming their commitment to freedom they do not see the pitfalls of living your own way apart from God. Sin takes away a person's freedom trapping them and binding them to their vices. Because they refused discipline their own a path that leads to death. They have made the choice of short term pleasure and are to intoxicated to r

God sees through the sham sacrifice. Through the hypocrite who pretends to worship him but nurtures evil in their hearts. Even a physical sacrifice is not enough to win God's favor. The sacrifice He desires is a broken spirit. He will not reject a broken and repentant heart. There is no substitute for the loyal heart that chooses to do what is right and just. People have gone through rituals for centuries, appearing to worship God. But he knows whether we are coming to him wi

I see a poor person, a rich person, and a wealthy person. They are completely different in there thinking. Poor people always think about and talk about money. They never have enough, they always need more, they need a raise, if only they had more money. Rich people are different, they think about things. This is my car, my suit, my clothes, look at my boat, look at house, all they talk about is what they have. Now wealthy people actually think different together. They think

Joy is coming. Joy is near. Oh LORD, give me back my joy again; you have broken me now let me rejoice. Give me again the joy that comes from your salvation, and make me willing to obey you. Their is timeless truth that you Jesus speaks to us: You said to your disciples, "You shall weep and mourn and the world will rejoice, and you will have sorrow, but your sorrow will be turned into joy. When a woman is giving birth, she has sorrow because her hour has come, but when she has

I notice when I fast everything taste a lot sweeter, a lot more spicier, and a lot more flavorful. LORD forgive for my dull senses. For its only when I hunger and thirst for righteousness that spiritual life taste better. I fill myself with my own desires and miss out on the desires of your heart. I see it now, yes I can taste it now how much you have richly blessed me, even to the very little you have given me great provision. For you satisfy the weary soul, and every langui

Fear is never productive, it just gets in the way of love’s transforming power. That is the scandal of Christ’s saving grace. That Jesus can take a imperfect sinner and love Him into the Kingdom. Do you believe this? That through relationship with Christ you are being saved and are saved! That is something that the world and evil itself cannot understand. A Holy Law demands justice. And if broken all their is left is a fearful expectation of judgment. But praise God, Jesus re

That's enough. I can't sit hear and watch this anymore. I can't stand idly by and do nothing. Everyone has their boiling point, their moment where enough is enough. Whether it be societies ills or personal life problems, their comes a moment in time where you must stand up for yourself, or stand up for what is right? People love to argue about rights but never stop to think what is right? What is morally right and holy defined by God that should be defended. Whatever is true,

Diving Pruning. Submit to those pruning shears, pruning is painful but profitable. Our trials are occasions for joy because they will test our faith and develop perseverance and maturity. Though we endure long, intense and difficult trials, many times the LORD is pruning away sin in our lives. Professed believers be warned, unfruitful branches are those who confess Christ but never bear fruit because they do not genuinely remain in him, they are cut away. Fruitful branches, t

When we remind ourselves who we are, we can reveal to the world who Jesus is. That is why I love the gift of Communion that has been provided for us in Christ. We proclaim the LORD's death till he comes when we eat the bread and drink the cup. We are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls. Look at the proud! They trust in themselves, and their lives are crooked. But the righteous will live by their faithfulness to
