[ BALAAM¶S DONKEY SPOKE TO HIM

SANCTIFIED LIFE, p. 76

Of all the creatures that God has made upon the

earth, man alone is rebellious. Yet he possesses
reasoning powers to understand the claims of the
divine law and a conscience to feel the guilt of
transgression and the peace and joy of obedience.
 
pp 



Thus the truth is to be made impressive as

a great whole and command the intellect.
Truth, Bible truth, is to become the
authority for the conscience and the love
and life of the soul.

ALL WHO IN THAT EVIL DAY WOULD

FEARLESSLY SERVE GOD ACCORDING TO
THE DICTATES OF CONSCIENCE, WILL NEED
COURAGE, FIRMNESS, AND A KNOWLEDGE
OF GOD AND HIS WORD; FOR THOSE WHO
ARE TRUE TO GOD WILL BE PERSECUTED,
AND THEIR NAMES CAST OUT AS EVIL.

THE RAGE OF THOSE WHO, WHILE CLAIMING
TO BE RIGHTEOUS, TRAMPLE UPON THE LAW

WHEN IS OUR CONSCIENCE DEFILED?

[ WHEN THE SACRED IS TREATED AS

READ 1 KINGS 22:1-

22:1-8 [AHAB & JEHOSHAPHAT]

[ NEITHER DOES RIGHTEOUSNESS COME BY A
MAJORITY OF FOUR HUNDRED SOLDIERS

[ KING AHAB DEFILED HIS CONSCIENCE BY
GOING TO BATTLE WITHOUT INQUIRING A
