“The Deceiver can magnify a little sin for the purpose of causing one to worry, torture, and kill oneself with it. This is why a Christian should learn not to let anyone easily create an evil conscience in him. Rather let him say, "This error and this failing pass away with my other imperfections and sins, which I must include in the article of faith: I believe in the forgiveness of sins.” ShouldBelieveLittlesChristianPurposeEvilI BelieveSinWorryFailingConscienceErrorsOneselfI Believe InTortureImperfectionArticlesPassing AwayDeceiverForgiveness Of Sins Author:Martin Luther
“...You can only subject people to anguish who have a conscience. You can only punish people who have hopes to frustrate or attachments to sever; who worry what you think of them.

“When we want to help the poor, we usually offer them charity. Most often we use charity to avoid recognizing the problem and finding the solution for it. Charity becomes a way to shrug off our responsibility. But charity is no solution to poverty. Charity only perpetuates poverty by taking the initiative away from the poor. Charity allows us to go ahead with our own lives without worrying about the lives of the poor. Charity appeases our consciences.” WayWantHelpingUseProblemPoorResponsibilityPovertyWorryOffersFindingsSolutionsConscienceCharityInitiativeRecognizingAppeaseHelp The PoorSolutions To Poverty Author:Muhammad Yunus
“When my conscience under the Holy Spirit makes me aware of a specific sin I should at once call that sin sin and bring it consciously under the blood of Christ. Now it is covered and it is not honoring to the finished work of Jesus Christ to worry about it, as far as my relationship to God is concerned. Indeed, to worry about it is to do spite to the infinite value of the death of the Son of God. My fellowship with God is restored.” ShouldGodSpiritValuesSpiritualityJesusChristSinWorryBloodSonHolyConscienceJesus ChristConcernedInfiniteFinishedHoly SpiritSpiteCoveredFellowshipFinished WorkFellowship With God Author:Francis Schaeffer
“To have something to say is a question of sleepless nights and worry and endless ratiocination of subject - of endless trying to dig out the essential truth, the essential justice. As a first premise you have to develop a conscience and if on top of that you have talent so much the better. But if you have talent without the conscience, you are just one of many thousands of journalists.” IfsTryingFirstsNightJusticeWorrySubjectsTalentEssentialsEthicsConscienceEndlessJournalistJust OnePremisesSleepless Nights Author:F.

“There's a tiredness of abstract inteligence, and it's the most horrible of tirednesses.

It's a weightiness of the conscience of the world, an inability of the soul to breathe.” WorldDoeSoulBodyEmotionWorryConscienceWeightBreatheHorribleAbstractInabilityTiredness Author:Fernando Pessoa
