Is
it possible to silence the voice of conscience? Personal conduct is managed by our
value system, so overruling the voice of conscience is possible, but not advisable. Alcohol and street drugs are
a deterrent to heeding what our conscience tries to communicate. Anger,
resentment, and bitterness also play a major role in silencing the sounds of
conscience.
As you consider these words, what parallel
thoughts are you aware of right now? Parallel thoughts can be significant
messages that your conscience is trying to convey. Do these thoughts signal danger
you need to heed? History verifies that misfortune is related to weakness of
character and conscience.
God's
desire is to cleanse your conscience so that your conduct gives witness to his
power in your life. You can choose to change and conform to God's purpose for
your life. 2 Corinthians 1:12 reminds us, "Our conscience testifies that
we have conducted ourselves in ways that witness the holiness and sincerity
that are from God." This is a worthy objective.
