I am generally grateful that we approach everyone here with grace and affection!

Technically speaking, fault can be found with any assertion, opinion or quickly assembled teaching!

But I am grateful that the spirit and sprinkling of our hearts and spirit is taken into account!

Again, non essentials and technicalities aside there is not adversarial spirit displayed here!  So refreshing!

Even when gracious love is applied, it is without measure or recall!

For if we lead with our hearts, humility will blossom!

Hopefully this is a word of encouragement and gratitude!

Rather the Lord compliment me for my love, rather than my accuracy!

I love this simple song - it is a blessing to Thank the Lord — Praise the Lord with your whole heart

 

– Fair use —

Both are equally important when speaking of the things of God. If one were to speak inaccurately of God yet do so in love that person would still be misrepresenting God and that may be worse in the end.

When I was a new believer, I believe when I was 18, there was this old assistant pastor at my Free Methodist church. Horace must have been in his mid 80s. A wonderful man of God and very patient and kind. Especially for a new believer like me. :heart:

I remember him telling me that even some of the classic hymns that we love to sing may contain error. He said in order to make them sound better or rhyme, they sometimes would cut theological corners.

So, I have never forgotten that. We always have to be on guard against error.
