John, What do you mean by âreestablishedâ? Do you mean that someone initially had a conscience, and then it went away, and now you want it reestablish it? Seems like I heard of a Christian speaker who addressed a room full of college students who were in favor of abortion. Nothing he said could dissuade them. Finally he explained to them that they all had a God-given conscience, explained what it was, and then he had them all get quiet and consult their conscience. Then when he asked them again if they believed it was right to commit abortion, every one of them said their conscience told them it was wrong. Did anyone on TT hear that? Izzy
Thank you. I am not aware of this incident -- the college kids and abortion. Interesting. Regarding the conscience -- I actually do not believe that it goes away. I think constant violation beats it down, but it remains -- hence its ability to rejuvenate. But you do have the jest of the matter. I am looking at kids-at-risk. They do a lot of wrong. Are there actions that they can commit to that will make their conscience come alive? If so, and I am thinking there are, it would be much more than a tool for self actualization (as they say in the smart circles) -- it could be a dynamic for evangelism as a witness to an innate morality -- a witness to God and being created in His image. That is where I want to go with this.
