The Danger of Silencing Conscience
John 8:3-11
And the scribes and Pharisees brought to him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the middle,…


You may dim the surface of the glass, so that it shall no longer be painfully bright, like a little sun lying on the ground; but your puny operation does not extinguish the great light that glows in heaven. Thus to trample conscience in the mire, so that it shall no longer reflect God's holiness, does not discharge holiness from the character of God. He will come to judge the world, although the world madly silence the witness who tells of His coming.

(W. Arnot, D. D.)
