Conscience ( Acts 24 v 16 )

Little Pinocchio did not have conscience,so a little cricket called Jiminy was appointed to be his conscience,but of course he did not always listen to his conscience.Every human being  is born with a conscience, but like Jiminy they don't let their conscience be their guide. David Atkinson has few helpful things to say about having a conscience. He writes the following, ''Conscience is not always a reliable guide to truth, and we have a responsibility to educate our conscience in line with the objective truth, revealed to us by God. But conscience must not be set aside.For the Christian, that call to integrity and personal unity is the call to be centred on the being of God in Jesus Christ. ''         Adolf Hitler had the military swear an oath of unconditional  obedience, the fast majority obeyed ,and because they did not want go against their oath,well you see the result of that.It was possible for the National Socialists of Germany to say,' My conscience is  Adolf Hitler''. It has been said that everybody has their price,and so act against their conscience ..As a Christian I have within me the Holy Spirit,and He will speak to me, and remind me that as  a Christian I am meant to walk in integrity,at all times,according to Gods word and will.,we should not go against this at any price.
