What will prevent my conscience from being seared from the truth? From right vs wrong?

Searing (a wound) happens when something extremely hot comes in contact, for an extended period of time, with the wound/skin.

With this in mind, searing a conscience happens when a hurting/wounded conscience comes in contact and stays in contact with false teaching. Healing is being sought. Answers to questions are being sought (a wounded/hurting/incomplete mind & conscience). If, in that search, I stay in contact with false teaching - my conscience will be seared. I will no longer subscribe to real truth but false teaching.

So...how do I prevent my mind and conscience (and thus my life and behavior) from being seared from the truth? Answer? ... By staying in truth ... i.e. the Word of God. It always comes back to the need to read, studying, meditate, process God's Word.

Until I am living eternally face to face with Christ in heaven, I will be exposed to and come in contact with false teaching, sinful culture, and even my own sinful nature and thoughts. However, I can choose to come in to contact MORE with God's Word. I can choose to read, think, process, study God's Word to stay fresh and open. When I am hurting and have questions ... I seek answers from God's Word. My mind is hurting and incomplete (it will be until I reach heaven) - I must seek answers, comfort, and healing from God's Word.
