A Dancing Generation

If that snow storm didn't come and get us last Friday, the edge band was going to play a brand new song called "Dancing Generation." It was going to be great, but of course, Edge was canceled. So about dancing. Dancing, believe it or not, is a form of worship, as long as it pleases God. As a matter of fact, it's found in the Bible. 2 Samuel 6 talks about David dancing around like crazy because of His love for God. It says, "David danced before the Lord with all his might..." David's wife, Michal thought it was ridiculous that he was dancing like a mad man so she got upset at David. This is David's response to Michal..."I will become even more undignified than this, and I will be humiliated in my own eyes." You see David did not care about being proper and dignified. He could not hold in his love for God. Sometimes, our love for Jesus Christ makes us want to move. Sometimes it makes us want to sit quietly and meditate. But when you can't hold the love of Christ in, it's ok to become undignified for the sake of praising Jesus Christ. After all, Christ became undignified by dying on the cross in our place to save us.

By the way, I was at tha porch on Tuesday night (high school ministry). I visit every once in a while to see old Edge folks, and somehow, I got pulled into the dance off they were having that night. It was a blast and I pretty much made a fool of myself, but so did David so that's ok.
