    If we do not listen to the promptings of the Holy Spirit in our lives, we will allow our consciences to grow weak and get seared. The life of Lot and David will help us understand this better.

    In 1 Timothy 4:1-2, we read, “The Spirit says clearly that some people will abandon the faith in later times; they will obey lying spirits and follow the teachings of demons. Such teachings are spread by deceitful liars, whose consciences are dead, as if burnt with a hot iron.” (GNT) Our ...read more
