"I always try to maintain a clear conscience before
God and all people." Ac 24:16 NLT

It's been said that our conscience was given to us
after the fall of mankind in the garden of Eden. In
other words, our desire to know the difference
between good and evil was granted through the
mechanism God placed within us known as a
conscience. So we must not ignore its promptings,
silence its voice, or allow it to become calloused,
because it's a built-in warning system that protects us
from danger and harm. That means you shouldn't be
troubled when your conscience bothers you; you
should be troubled when it doesn't. Here are ten
principles for keeping your conscience clear: (1)
Always pay attention to the inner nudging that makes
you stop and question your decisions. (2) Think of
your conscience as a God-given filter that helps keep
your heart pure. (3) Examine your motives in all
"giving" situations. (4) If you think you may have hurt
someone's feelings, ask for forgiveness. (5) Invite God
to examine your heart and reveal changes that need to
be made in your attitudes and actions. (6) To the best
of your ability, don't knowingly involve yourself in
compromising situations. (7) Consider others first, and
honor them with your words and actions. (8)
Remember that your conscience is your moral
compass. (9) Establish ethical guidelines in all your
business dealings. (10) When a thought leaves you
feeling unsettled, take time to pray and talk about it
with someone you trust. The word for you today is-
always maintain a clear conscience before God

Your conscience is your moral compass.
