Summary
The speaker emphasizes that true spiritual growth is marked by a growing conscience, which convicts us over even small matters. He stresses that keeping a blameless conscience involves not only confessing sins to God but also seeking reconciliation with every person we have hurt, regardless of who they are. Failing to apologize or forgive others blocks our ability to receive God's grace and hinders our prayers.

How a converted conscience changesBefore conversion, the conscience is like an insensitive weighing machine, but after conversion, even small weights and minor things begin to bring conviction.
Keeping a blameless consciencePaul states his commitment to doing his best to keep a blameless conscience before both God and men.
The test of true humilityConfessing sin to God is easy, but the true test of humility is whether a person can confess to and ask forgiveness from someone they have hurt.
Doing our best to have a good conscienceJust as we encourage children to do their best in school, Paul says he does his best to ensure no human being can say he hurt them without apologizing.
Righteousness and anger in Matthew 5Jesus taught that true righteousness goes beyond avoiding murder to addressing anger and being reconciled with others.Matthew 5:20
Leaving your offering at the altarWhen you come to pray and remember you have hurt someone, you must stop, leave your offering, and go be reconciled.
Why many prayers go unansweredA vast majority of prayers are hindered and unanswered because people refuse to ask forgiveness or forgive those who have hurt them.
How the devil uses unforgivenessThe devil uses someone hurting you as a single stone to knock you down through your own attitude of unforgiveness.
Having peace in your heart with every human beingWe must live every moment ensuring we have peace in our hearts toward everyone, even if others are not at peace with us.
The unique command in Romans 12Paul instructs believers to be at peace with all men as far as it depends on them, recognizing that peace with everyone is not always possible.
