I never thought she was capable of cheating, I guess I was wrong.

Wow! that last blog about how that guy knew David really hit home! Very true.
It helped me realize that anyone has the potential. But He has to make sure he allows God to lead him, rather than Satan. It just made me realize that if we let it, it can happen to anyone- I’m a Bible quizzer too… so it’s weird to realize it can be ANYONE

Wow…I am so royally impressed by what I have just read. I don’t know what to say. This is so convicting in so many ways. I truly don’t know what to say. Alex and Brett, when I come across young people who are doing God’s will with excellence, it gives me hope. I have a 7 year old brother, and I greatly appreciate the role-model that you are to him. Keep up the great work!

Thank you for your grace-full treatment of this tragedy. Our dearest family friends knew the Ludwig family through homeschool connections. Their children were friends with David. In the aftermath, our friends have come alongside this family, including David and your position of “there but for the grace of God, go I” is so true, so true! Scripture also says “if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall!”

We as onlookers, need to be very careful in our judgments of David & Kara’s hearts. God’s word is clear that all human hearts are “exceedingly wicked” and all have sinned and fall short of his glory. God alone is the Judge of man’s heart. We also need to be discerning in what we read, hear & say knowing full well that there is more to the story than any of us can know.

Our God is a God of justice, mercy & grace. He can take even the most grevious of sins (although to a Holy God, all sin is an abomination) and work it for good to those who love him and are called according to his purpose. It would appear from what our good friends tell us, that God is indeed redeeming this tragedy, using David, who from all appearances is filled with a Godly sorrow, to work good according to his purposes.

Again, thank you for your treatment of such a difficult situation that forever changed so many lives.

What a great posting. I knew they were home schooled but didn’t know that they had an explicit Christian faith.

And of course you nailed it on the head when you remind yourself and your readers that you, too, are capable of evil. It reminds me that I, too, can be evil, and it is only by the Grace of God that I am who he has made me to be.

A humble, thoughtful and challenging article.
