Conscience

No sin is greater that the sin of some who thinks that someone elses life is an offence to an "holy God"
- by a writer in MTV

This command I entrust to you, Timothy, my son, in accordance with the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you fight the good fight, keeping faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and suffered shipwreck in regard to their faith.
-1 Timothy 1:18-19

These people have their understanding darkened and have crashed-landed. They repeatedly reject the voice of God thru scripture and became disensitized to Godly warnings. Now I knoe that renewing of the mind trains the conscience. We are born with a basic knowledge of right and wrong, but when we are instructed by the Word of God, it sharpens our conscience. Those that ignore that conscience as a Christian will have it darkened if they do not listen. If they keep ignoring God's warning, they will become past feelings. They will be dead without knowing. I don't want to be dead, I want to be alert at all times!

I want a principle within
of watchful, godly fear,
a sensibility of sin,
a pain to feel it near.
I want the first approach to feel
of pride or wrong desire,
to catch the wandering of my will,
and quench the kindling fire.

From thee that I no more may stray,
no more thy goodness grieve,
grant me the filial awe, I pray,
the tender conscience give.
Quick as the apple of an eye,
O God, my conscience make;
awake my soul when sin is nigh,
and keep it still awake.

Almighty God of truth and love,
to me thy power impart;
the mountain from my soul remove,
the hardness from my heart.
O may the least omission pain
my reawakened soul,
and drive me to that blood again,
which makes the wounded whole.

-Charles Wesley
