Welcome to Follow The Leader FTL

The human underdog. Everyone loves the underdog. It is a competitor thought to have little chance of winning in a fight or contest. We once were dead because of our disobedience and our many sins. Living in sin, just like the rest of the world and obeying the devil, the commander of the powers in the unseen world. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God. All of us used to live that way, following the passionate desires and inclinations of our s

Driving to work this morning and I saw a new business called The Good Guys. I was like man I would like to meet them, with a name like that who wouldn't? Not sure what kind of business that was but that is a high bar to live up to. I think that is the same thing for Christians, who take the name of Jesus and have such a high calling. Do we real live up to the name that we bear as our faith and purpose? Or are we just the good guys on the outside but when we interact with peop

The oldest sons belong to the LORD. In the future your son will ask you about this. “What does this mean?” he will ask. And you will reply to him. “With great power the LORD brought us away from Egypt where we were slaves. Pharaoh was very proud. And he refused to give our freedom to us. So the LORD killed every oldest son in the Egyptian families. And he killed every Egyptian animal that was born first to its mother. That is why we give animals to the LORD. We give to the LO

Then Moses said to the people, “Commemorate this day, the day you came out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery, because the LORD brought you out of it with a mighty hand. Eat nothing containing yeast. The Israelites were to never forget how the LORD had saved them. They had been slaves in Egypt but the LORD had made them free. By his great power, he had defeated the Egyptians and their gods. And he had brought his people out of Egypt. On the night before and on that day they

The fighting spirit. Contend with my opponents, O LORD; fight against those who fight against me. My adversaries pursue me all day long; in their pride many are attacking me. Defend my cause and redeem me; revive me according to Your word. Let evil recoil on those who slander me; in your faithfulness destroy them. I Hear the LORD say: I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have

Growth spurt. Its in your genes. Your genetic composition, or genes that you inherit from your parents, causing growth spurts. Your genes will determine how tall you will grow and how quickly you will reach your maximum height. Is is this not the same with our spiritual genes given to us in Christ. The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit livi

Good Breathing. Breathe in. Breathe Out. We do this all day, every day without a thought. It is something that we should actually practice daily to help keep our mind and body at peace. We tend to speed up our breathing and waste the oxygen we are given. No, we need to take the time to practice deep breaths. It will improve our stamina bringing more oxygen to the blood giving us better body function. Also helps to relieve pain as we relax the mind to release endorphins. Good

The Kingdom in your prayer closet. When you pray, go into a room alone and close the door. Pray to your Father in private. He knows what is done in private and will reward you. Amazing to think we have access to the Kingdom in that secret place with the LORD. Jesus says in Matt. 6:5 to not pray in public to be noticed. You would think to public prayer is something powerful where Heaven meets Earth and people can hear from the LORD. The problem is our hearts. We all can before

But Christ has blessed you with the Holy Spirit. Now the Spirit stays in you, and you don't need any teachers. The Spirit is truthful and teaches you everything. So stay one in your heart with Christ, just as the Spirit has taught you to do. Christians do not need anyone else to decide for them what is right and wrong. They know what is right or wrong by God's Spirit in them. All humanity is bent towards sin and in our own strength we cannot strive with Holy Spirit, we are no

The morality test. I will touch more in depth on this in the Proverbs of a 38 yr old man today. But just to set the tone for today is the topic of morality. Principles concerning the distinction between right and wrong or good and bad behavior. The extent to which an action is right or wrong. And it goes even more deeper as a society tries to make laws and keep peace in a land. There are particular systems of values and principles of conduct, especially one held by a specifie
