Crumbs fallen from the table of the King—from his Word, his workmen, and his world.

Lord of the Conscience
The Westminster Confession of Faith was produced in 1647. Em and I have been reading it at dinner for a number of weeks now. Chapter XX On Christian Liberty, and Liberty of Conscience is one of my favorite chapters. Section 2 begins with this marvelous clause: "God alone is Lord of the conscience. . . ." We would do well always to take heed of this. O sweet liberty! Man would rule over the conscience, but he may not do so. It's not his prerogative. "God alone is Lord of the conscience."
