Francis SchaefferWhen my conscience under the Holy Spirit makes me aware of a specific sin I should at once call that sin sin and bring it consciously under the blood of Christ.

Indeed, to worry about it is to do spite to the infinite value of the death of the Son of God. My fellowship with God is restored.
