Today I read Acts 24. It's a chapter about Paul being held in prison, and pleading his case to the judges. But he doesn't really plead his case, he bears his testimony. I love that even in the midst of him losing his life, he knew who to fear more: God. He stood up to man and testified of God. He even says in verse 16:
" And herein do I exercise myself, to have always consience void of offence toward God, and toward men." So really, he tried to have a clear conscience all the time, but he knows he needs to have a clear conscience with God. And if he has a clear conscience with God, how can he now with man? It all links together.
