What Does Your Conscience Say? (3 of 31)
Series: 2 Corinthians

2 Corinthians 1:12-19
Tonight, we're going to look at a few verses in chapter 1, beginning in verse 12.
Well, it was in September of 2013 that a song hit the airwaves. It was a crazy song. It was a weird song. And it was so massively popular. It came out September of 2013. And as of today, it's had over 570,000,000 views for this song. And the song asks a question, a weird question. It asks the question, What Does the Fox Say? You remember that song? We don't really know what the fox says. We find out in the song the fox could say some weird things. But that song was so massively, hugely popular, What does the Fox Say? Well, nobody really cares what the fox says. It doesn't really matter what the fox says.
Tonight, I want to talk to you about a question that does matter, and the question is this: What does your conscience say? The Bible has a lot to say about our conscience and God wants us to learn some important lessons tonight about our conscience.
Now in 2nd Corinthians chapter 1, really in the whole book, Paul is writing to defend himself to the Corinthians, because false teachers had come into Corinth and had tried to turn the church and turn the people away from Paul. And they said that Paul was not trustworthy, that Paul didn't have integrity, that Paul wasn't really a true apostle because, Peter and James and John, those were the true apostles. Those were the ones who walked with Jesus and lived with Jesus for three years. But Paul, he's a Johnny-come-lately apostle. ''And we don't really know about his apostleship.'' It's just kind of fishy. And, you can't trust Paul's character. And then, you can't trust Paul's message, because the character and the message, they go together. And if Paul's not a trustworthy person, then you question whether the message that he gave you is trustworthy. And so Paul writes one of the big keys, in terms of the letter of 2nd Corinthi ...
