I am in Christ, and I am telling you the truth; I do not lie. My conscience is ruled by the Holy Spirit, and it tells me I am not lying. [Romans 9:1 (NCV)]
When I learned to drive, my car had warning lights that would alert me to potential engine problems. My driver’s ed instructor called them “idiot lights” because “anyone who ignores them is an idiot.” Our conscience is led by the Holy Spirit and is our own personal warning system. Whenever we hear that voice saying, “I really shouldn’t…,” we immediately should heed that warning!
So be careful and do not refuse to listen when God speaks. [Hebrews 12:25a (NCV)]
