Y...Dee,<BR/> <BR/>Thanks for visiting my site and commenting. You're so right about grace and mercy being a hard concept to grasp. The great Welsh preacher, D. Martyn-Lloyd Jones suggested that when grace is preached correctly, it is always misunderstood. We are legalistic people, and cannot fathom unearned merit. We assume blessing and mercy is purchased by our good works. The fact that people struggle understanding how God could offer grace to someone as evil as Dennis Rader, is evidence that it is being correctly preached. Thanks again for your comments!<BR/> <BR/>Mike DuranMike Duranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02223354088258809968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14752420.post-1125194700325807582005-08-27T19:05:00.000-07:002005-08-27T19:05:00.000-07:00correction: I forgive her.

Grace and mercy is a hard concept for ...Great post. Grace and mercy is a hard concept for our mind's to find logic in that is why it is so awesome. I think about the BTK Killer and his madness often. I think about myself and some things I have done that I still can't forgive myself for, that of course, don't compare to killing and all the other things he did. But I'm a mother and sometimes my little girl does some wrong things--you know? And it has to be grace and mercy to keep me from losing it instead of calming down and thinking of the best reaction to help her not make the mistake again. And even when she does it again...I figure her. I'm not in the same parameter as God. But in Psalms 91:4 David speaks of God's maternal side. Our refuge. And I believe that God has love large enough to pull Dennis Rader in. I believe that God has love large enough to pull Rader's victims(that includes the victim's families) in. Because I wander how many souls have been lost because of this horrible display. Those who questioned Christianity and now, because Rader is a professed Christian, has turned away from God. I believe that as the Mother Duck calls her children to her, that God will call those unbelievers back. Because we all not shelter from this craziness of this world.<BR/>Great entry.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07932082084523211319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14752420.post-1125188179483272572005-08-27T17:16:00.000-07:002005-08-27T17:16:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14752420.post-1125189052218922272005-08-27T17:30:00.000-07:002005-08-27T17:30:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14752420.post-1125188539735098892005-08-27T17:22:00.000-07:002005-08-27T17:22:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14752420.post-1125187700404503732005-08-27T17:08:00.000-07:002005-08-27T17:08:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14752420.post-1125189377395527862005-08-27T17:36:00.000-07:002005-08-27T17:36:00.000-07:00Gee, wonderful of you all to visit.
