Acts 24:16
This being so, I myself
always strive to have a conscience without offense to God and men.
It is the eye of the soul which looks out, either
towards God, or towards what it regards as the highest, and therefore conscience
records differently in different people. If I am in the habit of steadily
facing myself with God, my conscience will always introduce God’s perfect law
and indicate what I should do… The one thing that keeps the conscience
sensitive to Him is the continual habit of being open to God on the inside.
When there is any debate, quit. “Why shouldn’t I do it?” You are on the wrong
track. There is no debate possible when conscience speaks. At your peril, you
allow one thing to obscure your inner communion with God. Drop it, whatever it
is, and see that you keep your inner vision clear.
