Review Questions

Pauls Good Conscience In both Acts 23:1 and 24:16, Paul made mention that he wanted to have a clear conscience before God. One way to explain to children what conscience is, is to print out a STOP sign (on cardstock if you can) and then have them role play different scenarios. For example, what about taking a candy bar from a store without paying? When the child is considering the action, hold up the sign and tell them that their conscience is like their Godgiven stop sign to help us know when someMinute Activity thing just feels wrong. Close by emphasizing the importance of training our conscience by prayer and learning Scripture (read Psalm 119:11).
