A Blameless, Immaculately, Clean Conscience

Living a clean life in this evil world is difficult among sinners.

You mind your own business, living for the LORD, and yet someone else is secretly desiring and conniving to attain what is most precious to you. 

Unknown to you they are weaving their evil web in secret to acquire what is yours.

When all is "said and done"---they have acquired your most preciousness -more precious than anything else.

You approach them in righteousness, but they "laugh and snicker" behind your back, and to your face, claiming they did nothing wrong--(...their evil plan has worked...)

What was our preciousness... has now become theirs; what was our preciousness is are now conniving, thoughtless, hurtful, evil...just like those who caught them.

Our preciousness is gone; We have the LORD, He hears our cries, softens our pain, lifts our heads, and we continue with our lives each day living for Him. 

Our conscience is Immaculately Clean. 

Glorifying the LORD for carrying us through this fire!

1 Timothy 1:5-11,18-19

..."But the goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.

For some men, straying from these things, have turned aside to fruitless discussion, wanting to be teachers of the Law, even though they do not understand either what they are saying or the matters about which they make confident assertions.

But we know that the Law is good, if one uses it lawfully, realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers and immoral men and homosexuals and kidnappers and liars and perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching, according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted."...

..."This command I entrust to you, Timothy, my son, in accordance with the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you fight the good fight, keeping faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and suffered shipwreck in regard to their faith."...

Titus 1:10-16

..."For there are many rebellious men, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision, who must be silenced because they are upsetting whole families, teaching things they should not teach for the sake of sordid gain.

One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.”

This testimony is true. For this reason reprove them severely so that they may be sound in the faith, not paying attention to Jewish myths and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.

To the pure, all things are pure; but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure, but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.

They profess to know God, but by their deeds they deny Him, being detestable and disobedient and worthless for any good deed."

Acts 24:16

..."In view of this, I also do my best to maintain always a blameless conscience both before God and before men."
