The conscience cannot compete with sin. It was not designed to do this. The battle against sin is a war for the gospel, not the conscience. When sin makes its way into the soul, the conscience becomes easy prey.
If a person does not heed the alarm of the conscience when sin is in play, there will be a negative consequence—you will spiritually break down. Your conscience is fluid and manipulatable, and it will take its revenge on you if you allow the cancer of sin to sit unattended on your soul. https://lifeovercoffee.com/be-honest-or-your-conscience-will-take-revenge-on-you/

Focus on the Cause, not the Effect, so you can remove the cause and not be affected by the effect.
A local church’s worship value is not primarily about the music but the lifestyle because you never ask, “Are you worshiping?” The reason is that we worship all the time. God made us for worship—wired us for worship, you could say.
Worship is part of what it means to be image-bearers. Who could do otherwise? The better question is, “What or whom do we worship?” https://lifeovercoffee.com/three-characteristics-of-a-fantastic-local-church/
Whenever a person chooses sinful anger, he is, in effect, giving the other person control over him. It’s counterintuitive. In his anger, he is like a marionette, a puppet on a string.
Anger toward someone is the total submission of their thoughts, attitudes, emotions, and behaviors to the other person. It is not self-control, as governed by the Spirit of God, but someone out of control or under the control of another spirit. https://lifeovercoffee.com/podcast/ep-110-help-for-the-angry-person/
