Selah¶

Overview¶

"Selah" shows up all through the Psalms. Nobody knows its exact meaning, but it's usually read as a pause: stop and sit with that for a second.

That's what these lines are for. They're the ones that hit deep, collected over time from sermons, books, songs, Spurgeon, Lewis, anyone. Where the Quote Book keeps the funny things said on stream, Selah keeps the ones worth slowing down for.

Who said it¶

A lot of famous quotes get pinned on the wrong person, Lewis and Spurgeon especially. So a line only gets an author once we know where it's from: the book, sermon or talk it came out of. If the source can't be found, the line still goes up, and it says Unknown. No guessing.

Commands¶

!selah [number]¶

Pulls a random line. Add a number to see that line instead. Asking for a number doesn't wait on the cooldown.

Example:¶

!selah
!selah 3

!selah why <number>¶

Some lines come with a note on why they hit: t3r0's, or the person's who suggested it. When one's been shared, this shows it.

Example:¶

!selah why 3
