Welcome to Follow The Leader FTL

Make My Nest In Heaven. The trees of the LORD are well watered, the cedars of Lebanon that he planted. There the birds make their nests, and the storks make their homes in the cypresses. The birds of the air nest beside the springs; they sing among the branches. I long, yes, I faint with longing to enter the courts of the LORD. With my whole being, body and soul, I will shout joyfully to the living God. Even the sparrow finds a home, and the swallow builds her nest and raises

The reason you listen to both sides of an argument is so that you can make an informed opinion on the matter. If you only listen to one side you corner yourself and lose the balance of wisdom. Yes, there is a balance to wisdom and it needs to be hang the same the Law and Prophets hung on each other. The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments. You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind. This

Blood of recompense. When I’m sorry is never enough, the blood of Christ is enough. There will be so many people in heaven that will be forgiven of heinous sin. Don’t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality, or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people, none of t

God Said. God said therefore I will believe. I will hang on to every word that comes from the word of God. It never comes back to Him in void so it will never leave me in void. The LORD bears his precious fruit in me, and he will bring things into fruition according to his Will and Time. The Enemy of our souls always ask, did God really say? And you are to say yes she did. Man shall not live from bread alone. From what he sees only with the naked eye. No, what did God say? Th

A cheap pot might have a silky surface. And an evil man might speak well. You cannot believe everything that you see. Some pots seem silky on the outside. But they are just cheap pots. You cannot believe everything that you hear. Some evil men speak clever words. But they are still evil men. You must not trust them. A cruel man uses his clever words to hide his true thoughts. But there are evil ideas in his mind. His words may be beautiful, but do not believe him! Yes, they p

Continuing on yesterdays thought about the fruit of holiness. I think its important we realize holiness is not just about being perfect as our Holy Father is. He alone is truly holy and high above us. Yes, set apart and his ways are different than our ways. What Jesus did for us on the Cross was free us from the slavery of sin and death and make us slaves of righteousness. You are not a God, you are a mere human created in the image of God. We were meant to live in righteousn

Grow a callus. Some thick skin over your prideful emotions and feelings. We are called to love the way Jesus loved us unconditionally. That only happens as we submit our hearts to Him and seek Gods will continually. Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law. Yes, the Law of Christ is written on our hearts and we fulfill it as we love God and our neighbor. Your love must be able to take a hit

The fruit of holiness. We are to be holy like He is Holy. What are after when we strive for perfection? Is it just to gain approval from God? Is it just to live in wisdom and truth? While these are great things to pursue, above all we should be working hard at allowing Holy Spirit to birth in the us the peaceable fruit of righteousness. For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have b

People cannot discover the purpose of their lives by just thinking about it. Yet God has given to humanity a strong desire to know and search out meaning and purpose. People want to discover the truth about why we live in this world. And God wants people to discover this truth too. He is the only answer to the purpose of our lives. So people are not peaceful without God. People cannot expect to control the wind. A hurricane or tornado does what it wants, you cannot control th

Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers. Yes, stay true to what is right for the sake of your own salvation and the salvation of those who hear you. Give your complete attention to these matters. Throw yourself into your tasks so that everyone will see your progress and give glory to God! Give yourself continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word. Do everything without complaining and w
