Can I Trust and Follow My Conscience – Sermon – October 13 2013

Can I Trust and Follow My Conscience? – Sermon – October 13 2013

What does God say to us about this inner voice that condemns us or commends us ?  Where did you get it?  Who gave it to you?  What is it exactly?  What is it’s purpose?

And can you trust it always to lead you in the right way?  How do we know that the Conscience  was very important to the Apostles?  And how do we know this?  Did they mention it in their letters?

If conscience is a compass or our inner voice inside, then why is the world not peachy-keen?  Why is there so much evil?  Why is it so wrong and full of pain and bad decisions?  Can you always follow your conscience?  If our conscience becomes weak, off, not right, what do we need to do to get back to a right conscience?  How can you have a clear conscience that does not hound you anymore?

Listen for these questions and answers about Can I Trust and Follow My Conscience?, below in the 1-part Video ,  or the one-part MP3 Audio Sermon.
