Rutherford: conscience

Saturday, April 28, 2012
    Commemoration of Peter Chanel, Religious, Missionary in the South Pacific, Martyr, 1841
Meditation:
    But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander.
    —1 Peter 3:15 (NIV)
Quotation:
    It is true, terrors of conscience cast us down; and yet without terrors of conscience we cannot be raised up again.
    ... Samuel Rutherford (1600-1664), Letters of Samuel Rutherford, Edinburgh: William Whyte & Co., 1848, p. 166 (see the book)
