Too bad that evil and our elected officials do not come with a warning label.
I would guess I can call the Bible a warning as well as an instruction manual.
“Do Not Drive Automobile with Sun Shield on Windshield”
“Superman Costume Will Not Enable You to Fly”
Love those!

Read: Matthew 7:2429
Ive got bad news for you, said the builder, who was renovating an old house I had inherited. When we started to convert the back half of the garage for your office, we found that the walls had almost no foundation. We will have to demolish them, dig proper foundations, and start again.
Do you have to do that? I pleaded, silently calculating the extra cost. Cant you just patch it up? But the builder was adamant. Unless we go down to the proper depth, the building inspector wont approve it. The right foundation is vital.
The right foundation makes the difference between something that lasts and something temporary. Jesus knew that though foundations are invisible, they are vitally important to the strength and stability of the house (Matt. 7:24-25), especially when it is battered by the elements. He also knew the hearts of His listeners. They would be tempted to take the easy way, find shortcuts, or do things by halves to gain their objectives.
Other foundations may be quicker and easier. Building our lives on the right foundation is hard work, but Gods truth is the only bedrock worth building on. When the storms of life hit, houses built on and held together by Him stand firm.
