Living With Your Conscience

Summary

Elder Michael Goans preaches on the importance of living with a conscience void of offense toward God and men, based on Acts 24:16. He discusses the role of conscience as a moral guide given by God, the necessity of obeying civil authorities as far as conscience allows, and the biblical precedent for civil disobedience when laws conflict with God's commands. Historical examples such as Martin Luther and John Bunyan illustrate the courage required to stand for conscience. The sermon emphasizes educating the conscience through Scripture and portrays it as God's candle and courtroom within us.
