Seared Conscience

The most damage a person can do to himself is to negatively affect his conscience.

As children of God we should pray for a more sensitive conscience rather than try to numb it.

Our only hope when we lose our conscience is the redemptive work of a perfect Savior. Tears of conviction should never be taken lightly.

When we experience the pang of conviction, we need to take advantage of our shame and fall at an altar to present ourselves once again as flawed vessels totally dependant on a Savior.

We are not a body of believers who think that once we are saved we will always be saved. Each one of us runs the risk of falling. These are perilous times and the enemy of our soul is seeking folks to devour.

Be mindful of eternity when relaying prayer requests for lukewarm or backslid saints of God. The prince of the air is hoping for an inroad. Beware.

Why do we celebrate when we assemble? Because we are lifting up our King and rejoicing that His grace and mercy are flowing. Why do we want to share this good news? Because we have our burdens lifted and we have a hope and understanding of Who Jesus was, is and is soon to come.
