Fire in the Hole, Part 1 - Lesson 14

Dave Rich begins a critical examination of the Christian conscience in this first installment of Fire in the Hole. Drawing from both Old and New Testament texts, Rich explores the biblical foundation of conscience as a God-given human faculty that judges our actions and thoughts. Fire in the Hole examines how conscience functions differently in believers and unbelievers, examining passages in which the Old Testament uses phrases like "heart struck" and "integrity of heart" to convey what the New Testament explicitly calls conscience. Through careful analysis of Genesis, 1 Samuel, Romans, Hebrews, and 1 Corinthians, Rich demonstrates that while conscience is a grace from God to all image bearers, it remains fallible and requires illumination by Scripture and the Holy Spirit. The teaching reveals how conscience can be natural or spiritual, good or defiled, correct or incorrect, strong or weak, confident or uncertain—establishing the foundation for understanding how Christians should train their conscience according to biblical standards rather than mere personal conviction.
