Conscience Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 25, 2021

Our conscience is a God given gift, which is like an arbiter who is constantly evaluating all that we do, and instructing us as to what is right and what is wrong.

Conscience Let us look again at Genesis 3:9, “But the LORD God called out to the man, "Where are you?" (GNB) Our God is omniscient, the one who is all knowing, which implies that He knows everything about the past, present and future. God is also the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning ...read more

What Changed? Series
