CephaDrigan Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 [quote name='faithcecelia' timestamp='1307473326' post='2250882'] While the first part of this story is being claimed, its no wonder the second is being believed. Psalm 150 - Praise Him with dance. [/quote] It depends on how you're dancing...when Jesus is the focus, sure, go ahead and dance, but when its irreverent, dancing has no place. I'm also gonna go to a Life Teen thing tonight...I haven't been before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I LOVE dancing in Mass - not 'liturgical dances' and the like, but when the Holy Spirit takes control of me and every ounce of my being wants to praise and glorify God *sigh* its so amazing. My old parish would sometimes have African Masses and I used to love going to them the JOY was so abundant you could sense it even in the carpark.

But hey ho, if the spirit moves someone to dance like that then dance away.

[/quote] If thats how God leads anyone to worship, no man can surely say they know better and forbid it?? When God gets me going, I dance! Im actually very shy and not an obvious rebel (head and shoulders covered in church, etc) but so, so many times I just cannot stay still, God makes me dance, its how he wants me to praise him, so I dance!
