On Your Conscience

It is one of God’s priceless gifts to humanity but it is rarely talked about, not well understood and is being stamped out or suppressed by many who desire to do anything with anyone at any time for any reason. It is your conscience. You may remember conscience and temptation depicted in cartoons as an angel on one’s right shoulder and a demon on the left shoulder. The angel attempts to persuade the person to do right while the demon tempts the person to do wrong. The image resonates with people because we commonly experience internal conflicts. Thankfully we are not left to cartoons for our understanding of conscience. We have the Bible to teach us what conscience is and what it is not.
