Church Sign - 10/12/2008

Church: Zion United Methodist Church (1807 Duncan Road; Knoxville, TN 37919)

Sign: “Conscious is not God’s voice. It is his gift.”

Commentary: Despite the spelling error in this sign (the quote should read “conscience”, not “conscious”), this sign is a great reminder that a conscience is a gift from God. I Peter affirms this, noting that a good conscience is something worth asking God for:

Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you-- not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience--through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, (I Peter 3:21, NASN)
