As a Christian, you have the capacity to walk before God with a clear conscience: 1. Confess and forsake known sin. Examine your guilt feelings in light of Scripture. Deal with the sin God’s Word reveals (Pr. 28:13; 1 Jn. 1:9; Jas. 5:16; Psm. 32:5). 2. Ask forgiveness and be reconciled to anyone you have wronged (Mt. 5:23-24; 6:14-15). 3. Make restitution to those you’ve wronged (Num. 5:6-7; Lk. 19:8; Phile. 19). 4. Don’t procrastinate in clearing your wounded conscience. Some people put off dealing with their guilt, thinking their conscience will clear itself in time. It won't. Procrastination allows the guilt feelings to fester. That in turn generates depression, anxiety, and other emotional problems (Ac. 24:16). 5. Educate your conscience. A weak, easily grieved conscience results from a lack of spiritual knowledge (1 Cor. 8:7).

A Message from our Provider:

“WARNING: Exposure to the Son may prevent burning.”

I heard R. C. Sproul explain it this way: He said that apart from God there is no reason for human significance and no grounds for self-worth. Consider the alternative. If you don't believe in God, then you don’t have any reason for being here. You must believe that you are simply the product of impersonal time plus chance. And when you die, you must believe that you simply cease to exist and vanish into eternal nothingness. In short, if you leave God out, what you are left with is this: You didn't come from anywhere and you aren’t going anywhere after you die. This is the humanist dilemma. They say, “You come from nothing and you're going to nothing, but in between you have great significance.” It doesn't make sense at all.
