Things I would tell Blair




If we are moving from heart emotions to deeds, it would be helpful to notice how A is primarily concerned with heart-outcome and B is primarily concerned with deed-outcome.

Did he add verse 19:21 because it completed the proverb pair?

Proverbs 16:20
He always takes this (whoever gives thought to the word will discover good) as referring only to "the word" as in like just the word of God, instead of it being translated as "a saying" or "one's speech".  But the original proverb is more generic.  It definitely includes giving thought to the words of God.  (And from an a fortiori argument [from the lesser to the greater], one could say this one underscores its importance.  i.e. if it is this important to give thought to the sayings of the wise in general, or to our own speech, how much more important is it for us to give thought to the words of God.)

The proverbs 24:23 reference makes no sense.(9.23, 12:06)

Only this I know: I tell Him all my doubts, my griefs and fears; Oh, how patiently He listens! and my drooping soul He cheers: Do you think He ne'er reproves me? What a false Friend He would be, If He never, never told me of the sins which He must see, Of the sins which He must see. Would you like to know

"How Rich a Treasure We Possess" This one sounds so similar to "Lift High the Name of Jesus".  The melody of the verses and the way that both of them play it on an "Open E" (i.e., no 3rd/G#).  Yet I really like this song. Fernando Ortega . Keith and Kristen Getty feature Fernando Ortega on their most recent album.  This guy's hymns are among the best.  Fernando and Audry Assad are sort of the pop-level entry to some of the hymns world.  Much more than a band like Page CXVI.  Some how their reach has really extended far.  Ortega songs get covered by IHOP; Audry Assad literally sang at one of their yearly events (Onething). Your church's greatest instrument Your church's greatest instrument is the voice of the congregation. https://twitter.com/MatthewTyler674/status/1036363346860232704 This is amazing! I really miss this group of people.  They just love  to sing this way at the end of a song.  The trick here is to leave the acapella ti
