Train Hard

Training, by its very nature, is intended to be challenging. The only way to grow is to increase the intensity, frequency, or difficulty of a thing.

The result, however, ought to be increased skill or strength. The same thing is true concerning the conscience. It too must be trained in order to best serve the Christ-follower.

Parenting is essentially an exercise in training the conscience of children so they can effectively arbitrate between right and wrong on their own.

The question for us, however, is this, what are you currently doing to train your own conscience so that it serves God’s good purposes in your life and allows you to love and serve those around you?
