Felix had every opportunity. For two years the apostle Paul lived in his palace and explained the gospel to him again and again. Once, as Paul reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the coming judgment, this corrupt and powerful governor actually trembled. The Holy Spirit was knocking. But instead of asking, “What must I do to be saved?” Felix said, “Go away for now. I’ll call for you when it’s convenient.” He kept listening, but he never trembled again, and he never came to Christ. In Acts 24, we see how spiritual procrastination works: each time we push conviction aside, our hearts grow a little harder, until the voice we kept putting off goes silent. Felix thought he had more time. Do you? Listen to this message and discover why the most dangerous word in the spiritual life may be “later.”
