I've been learning a lot about having a Biblically informed conscience. This is kind of a summary of what I've learned about it from my friend Matt:
Peace is only a good thing when it is Biblically informed peace. Our conscience can be at peace when it shouldn't be, or conversely, it can not be at peace when it should be. The key is that our minds must be informed by what the truth is in order for our conscience to give a correct reading. Or as Romans 12:2 says, we must be transformed by the renewing of our minds. It all goes back to the Word and basing our lives on it.
The Bible must be our one source of ultimate truth. Knowing the truth is what sets us free!

It's so true! Scary how warped our conscience can be apart from the truth!
