Conscience Governed by God's Standard

Many boast that they propose to be conscience for themselves. This is good if it means that bondage to the merely human is cast aside; but more times it means that God's Book is no longer a guide. He who refuses to regulate his conscience by God's standard is like a ship on the vast ocean, without compass and shut in by impenetrable clouds. We can not pray too often or earnestly the prayer of the psalmist: "Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my thoughts; and see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting."
