Timothy 1:19 …holding faith and a good conscience. By rejecting
this some have made a shipwreck of their faith
To
say that I love Disney is somewhat an understatement…but I’ll go ahead and say
it, “I Love Disney.” As the fireworks blast over Cinderella’s castle, you can
hear Jiminy Cricket say his famous words, “Let your conscience be your guide.” Now
who knows if Jiminy was quoting scripture here but God’s word is clear that He,
God, gave us our consciences’ to guide us. MacArthur says that “A good
conscience serves as the rudder that steers the believer through the rocks and
reefs of sin and error.” We need our consciences and we need to listen to them.
On some days, I think if I have to tell my children something one more time I
will just scream, or the desire to just give up and give in will hit me hard. Why?
Well mainly because no one is listening to me. I’m talking but the words may as
well be gibberish for all anyone pays attention. I wonder if our consciences
are like that. Over and over it will tell us that our behavior, thoughts, or
attitudes are wrong and the more we don’t listen the softer the voice becomes;
until we are left with our hand on the steering wheels of our lives and not our
God given consciences.
