The speediest confession is the easiest and the best.
Conscience
When peace reigns in the Conscience there is always power over sin. Peace is like a sentinel that keeps guard at the door of the heart; if the sentinel be off his post, either the tumult within drowns the voice of the Spirit, or, because of the stillness of death, his voice is not heard.
A guilty Conscience is one of Satan’s great weapons against the children of God: faith can only be bold as the Conscience is clean.
There is no trial to the believer like guilt upon the Conscience; but it is the triumph of faith to see guilt removed by the atoning blood of Christ. A very little stain upon the Conscience makes a wide breach in our communion with God.
If we have a doubt upon our minds upon any point, we should go straight to Jesus to get it solved. Love abhors a winding course.
If the Conscience be not rightly instructed, it becomes a tool for Satan; if it speaks a false peace, it works ruin; and if it does not speak peace at all, it is a tormentor.
We should never deal lightly with the whispers of a doubtful Conscience.
Let Christ keep the heart, and the heart shall keep the life.
Our lack of walking in the Spirit often moves others to like negligence.
