Conviction

Whatever a Christian does today he should first purpose in his heart. And that’s the answer to all things that are questionable. If there’s any question in your mind about it, then it is wrong for you to do. Be fully persuaded in your own mind and carry out your conviction with enthusiasm.

Conscience

There must be conscience. Anything that a Christian looks back upon and has to say, “I wonder if I should have done that?” was wrong for him. It may not be wrong for the next man, so don’t criticize the next man. But, my brother or sister, it was wrong for you.

Consideration

Are you driving somebody away from Christ by what you are doing? If so, it is wrong.

Conduct

Christian conduct is not how far you can go before you are wrong, it is what you can do to please your Savior.
