Throw Cowardly Caution To The Wind, Governor Felix

Common Sense Commentary: When the Apostle Paul was being falsely accused and prosecuted for preaching Jesus, he stood before Governor Felix to answer the false charges and ... preached Jesus to him too."  "And as he (Paul) reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgement to come, Felix trembled, and answered, go thy way for this time; when I have a more convenient season, I will call for thee." Acts 24:25.   Paul, courageous in his truth telling, could have answered, "Throw your cowardly caution to the wind, Governor Felix, your eternal soul is at stake."

My primary caution to you today is, to the non-Christian, Throw your fearful caution to the wind, Felix, your eternal soul is at stake.   Go to God in faith and repentance and accept Christ as YOUR Savior.


My second caution to Americans is, Throw your fearful caution to the wind, Felix, your livelihood, family, future and country are at stake.  And don't tell me a preacher shouldn't comment on politics.  I didn't give up my citizenship or manhood when I was called to preach Jesus. Anyway, almost every political issue has "Moral" and most often, "Spiritual or Wicked" roots.

Paul was being drug through "Political Courts" and accused of causing political rebellion.  His defence included an appeal to Caesar's Court, a political court. He also quoted Roman Law in his defense.  Jesus, Himself, spoke to political questions many times.  So, Throw your fearful caution, of speaking out against the  political perversion of our Constitution, to the wind, Felix, your freedom  and country are being lost.

Speak up now or you may forever have to hold your peace under a dictatorship.  Ecc.3:8 says, there is "a time of war and a time of peace."  When peace is taken away from peaceful people, war inevitably, eventually explodes into being until the culprits are cast out or killed and peace is restored. I think that is why that scripture lists war first.  God spoke through His prophet and said, "To whom shall I speak, and give warning .... The word of the Lord is unto them a reproach .... I am full of fury .... Their houses shall be turned unto others .... for from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is given unto covetousness .... every one dealeth falsely ....  (they have dealt with this evil sickness by) saying peace, peace, when THERE IS NO PEACE.... Were they ashamed ?  NO, they were not at all ashamed .... They shall be cast down saith the LORD ....Stand ye .... and see and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk ye in it ...." 

Here is my honest opinion on two political propositions:

1.  How far are we from a revolution? My Answer .... Our "last minute" supply chain for our grocery stores, in these modern times, in the U.S., puts us about seven or eight lost meals from  revolution.   The inclusion of "give us this day our daily bread" in the Lord's prayer had a much, much more important meaning than we are able to comprehend today with large, modern Super Markets within walking distance in every city and town in our country.  Even free food and money are abundant here ... but not for long.  In Bible days and early, pioneer days in America, the people had no grocery stores of any kind and had to scratch every bite of food from the soil or trade valuable posessions for it.  When they prayed to God for daily bread, they were not expecting God to drop it like manna from heaven. They knew they had to find the seed, plant it in fertil soil, water it, dig out the weeds, keep the rabbits, deer and neighbors from stealing it at night, and nurse it through droughts, insects, birds and disease if they were not to starve to death on a DAILY  basis.  Most of them had just one occupation ....surviving ....which was, 99% of the time, gardening or farming.  It was a "daily",  not week or monthly, survival problem.  There are a multitude of things, showing up on the "news radar screen" that could halt this new, " Last Minute" (daily) supply of our grocery food chain.  We may understand the "Lord's Prayer" much better, sooner than you think.

The seed and root of our national delusion, which we convinced the whole world that is works, is the big
Liberal Lie of a free lunch multiplied by a thousand billion.  Jesus said, "...The devil is a liar and the father of it ...." Jn.8:44. It was Satan  who first lied to men and inspired Liberal Politicians to violate all the common sense rules of life and Holy Scripture as well, paying off millions of people to have a housefull of illigimate babies for money and those not willing to work or too fat or lazy to work, with free everything.   In league with the Liberal Politicians, Satan has created a system to destroy self reliance, self respect, and accountability and replaced it with self indulgence of booze, food, drugs and greed.

2. My second political observation is this. If inflexability is a virtue to President Obama, the defect of that "virtue" is self-righteous obstenance.  If Socialism works, why has it failed in China, Russia, Soviet Union, the "Common Market Nations",  all of the  European nations, Cuba,  and a dozen other countries.  It is Socialism which has now brought our country to its present state. May God  have mercy on our souls.  I thank Him, Jesus is coming soon .... in the MEAN time, as old Benjamin Franklin said of a colligue, "Here comes the orator ... with his flood of words, and his drop of reason."  Thanks for that quote Elaine.

Pass it on. RB
