#clearconscience — Public Fediverse posts

We all know what it feels like to be convicted.
 
That inner voice is real—but it isn’t enough to make us clean. The conscience can show us our need, but only Jesus can remove guilt and restore peace with God.
 
Today, let conviction lead you to Christ—not to despair.

A quotation from Lincoln

I desire to conduct the affairs of this administration that if at the end, when I come to lay down the reins of power, I have lost every other friend on earth, I shall at least have one friend left, and that friend shall be down inside of me.

Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865) American lawyer, politician, US President (1861–65)
Speech (1863-09-30) to the Missouri Committee of Seventy

A quotation from Hannah Arendt

The trouble with Eichmann was precisely that so many were like him, and that the many were neither perverted nor sadistic, that they were, and still are, terribly and terrifyingly normal. From the viewpoint of our legal institutions and of our moral standards of judgment, this normality was much more terrifying than all the atrocities put together, for it implied — as had been said at Nuremberg over and over again by the defendants and their counsels — that this new type of criminal, who is in actual fact hostis generis humani [enemy of humanity], commits his crimes under circumstances that make it well-nigh impossible for him to know or to feel that he is doing wrong.

Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil, Epilogue (1963)

A quotation from Addison, Joseph:

«
A good conscience is to the Soul what health is to the body; it preserves constant ease and serenity within us; and more than countervails all the calamities and afflictions which can befall us from without.
