Mercy is not tolerance, mercy is forgiveness with the hope of change.

Mercy is not acceptance of sin nor permission to sin or live as one chooses. There are great laws of love given by the Lord to obey and follow, it is the guidance upon the straight and narrow path. However, when one fails there is abundance of mercy found to pick us up and guide us ever upon the way of light.

When we show mercy unto another it is not acceptance of wrong behavior but is forgiveness with the hope of lasting change. 

Mercy can supersede law but does not abolish law. It can supersede a wrong but doesn't not accept or tolerant a wrong.

mercy is forgiveness. Undeserved forgiveness. Full stop.

sounds good....but flowery rhetoric doesn't change the Biblical meaning of mercy.  Adding to the Word is just as destructive as taking away from it.  Intellect does not supersede revelation.

Mercy definition:   Compassion or forgiveness shown toward someone whom it is within one's power to punish or harm.

Titus 3 v 1-5: Graces of the Heirs of Grace

1Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work, 2to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men. 3For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another. 4But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, 5not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, 6whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

You know.. thinking about this not as the prefect way to say it or quote what our Father says but just what I  know when I think about it. When I show mercy..I am not looking at what was done. .. just push the darkness to side and .. there... theres the light... keep your eyes on Him.. Your IN good hands. I show what is always shown to me..to which I cry and to show that word LadyKay said.. COMPASSION.. Christ always shows me

I agree that mercy is undeserved forgiveness. But if you wrong someone and you ask forgiveness even though you don't deserve it and they forgive you do you think they expect change and that you won't do it again? Don't you expect that of yourself?  Is it any less to expect it in our relationship with God?

Don't agree but see it got moved. I always consider mercy as being one of the most uplifting and encouraging things in this world! But Dusty if I said the sky was blue or the grass was green or if I said the sky was green and the grass was blue you would disagree with me no matter how I said it.

But I am going to say one thing to see if I can get my one and only agreement from you..... here it is,  "God is good".

"Where sin abounds, Grace more abounds" is not suggesting that because we are "made Righteous", we are to live in the opposite direction.

    • Exhortation - October 24, 2024

      Albert Finch posted a blog entry in Albert Finch Ministry,

      You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • The Simchat Torah War -- Is this a Water Breaking Moment of Revival?

      George posted a topic in Biblical Topic Videos,

      George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
