Our Bright Lights meeting on 11 Feb 2008 was the first meeting we ever had without Jolynn, now that she's in the States!
This meeting, we learned about gaining a clear conscience. Here's what we covered...
What does a good conscience involve?
- Every thought (II Cor. 10:5)
- Every word (Matt. 12:36)
- Every deed (II Cor. 5:10)
- Every motive (Jeremiah 17:9-10)
- Every attitude (Prov. 6:13-14)
There are eight attitudes to help us gain a clear conscience:
1. Poor in spirit -- One who is bankrupt, e.g., a beggar. We should be grateful for what we have.
2. True mourning -- Breaking up the hardness of our hearts.
3. Meekness -- Yielding our rights to the Lord.
4. Spiritual hunger -- Hunger and thirst for righteousness.
5. Mercy -- Clearing our conscience.
6. Peaceableness -- Making consolation. Peace = making the first step to ask for forgiveness. Clearing our conscience.
7. Purity of heart -- Dealing with our root problems.
8. Willingness to suffer -- Clearing our conscience. It may be painful. Humble ourselves. When we have this attitude, God will give us grace.
