Inner Consciousness, Deception.

The deceptions and delusions of the world are self deceptions. Saul of Tarsus was sincere in his persecuting course, but it was self deception. Hear him: "I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth." Acts 26: 9. Thinking with one's self is like regulating a clock by itself. It is the surest way to be wrong. What God desires, and that is the only sure way, is to think with him. God's will is expressed in his Word. When we think with that we have a twofold witness; the spirit in us answers to the unimpeachable Spirit of his Word.
