Why Holy Lists?

“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”  Philippians 4.8

This is a great LIST!  And it tells how lists can be helpful.  A group, clump, set or collection of words, concepts, entities or ideas can help define or explain truth, honor, justice, purity, loveliness, excellence, and praiseworthiness.   Since you need to think about such things, it is good to have a nice little meditatable list.

The guidelines for A. Knapp Lists are

1. It must be from the Bible (this is where Holy comes from)
2. It must have at least four items
3. It will have some brief explanation

Note these are not the kind of lists that slant, tilt, angle, or incline.  Nor are they Franz Liszt’s property.
