SHIPWRECKED

“Timothy, my son, here are my instructions for you, based on the prophetic words spoken about you earlier. May they help you fight well in the LORD'S battles.  Cling to your faith in Christ, and keep your conscience clear.  For some people have deliberately violated their consciences; as a result, their faith has been shipwrecked. Hymenaeus and Alexander are two examples. I threw them out and handed them over to Satan so they might learn not to blaspheme God.”1 Timothy 1:18-20 ( NLT)

“For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.”  Ephesians 6:12 (NLT)

“Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.”  1 Peter 5:8 (NLT)

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.”  John 10:10 (NIV)

“The purpose of my instruction is that all believers would be filled with love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and genuine faith.”1 Timothy 1:5 (NLT)

Gazing intently at the high council, Paul began: “Brothers, I have always lived before God with a clear conscience!”Acts 23:1 (NLT)

“I always try to maintain a clear conscience before God and all people.”  Acts 24:16 (NLT)

Remember, it is sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it."  James 4:17 (NLT)
