Handcuffed in worship

[Orr v'emet]

You know we also scream, shout and jump up and down during a ball game. Why shouldn't we do it, because we are excited that we have eternal life!

Jesus deserves our wholehearted praise for what he did on the cross for us! Not some bound up "religious" experience.

tru dat!

Hey, I remember that one from when I was a kid. Do you remember the Zachius (sp?) one?

Zacheius was a wee little man, and a wee little man was he!

He climbed up in the sycamore tree, for the Lord he wanted to see.

And, the Lord said, "Zacheius, you come down, for I'm going to your house today."

and "The B-I-B-L-E" ?

The B-I-B-L-E, yes that's the book for me!

I stand alone on the Word of God,

The B-I-B-L-E!

Ahh, childhood Sunday school memories... :il:

Praise God you did what was right, you see sometimes the Holy Spirit will move upon someone to dance this is wonderful when done when God wants this. I sense God wanted you to know, that to be limited in worshiping Him is not right, this is not His way, there is no limit, except the limits God puts upon us through His scriptures, and if He wants us to do something, or does not want us to do something. Praise God you listened to The Allpowerful, you let Him move how He wanted to, and that is what is important.

We have clap offerings and shout praises and then other times it is quiet and more reflective. All depends on what the Holy Spirit wants not what we THINK is appropriate in our small mindedness of the box we would like to put God in for our comfort. It is all for Gods pleasure and to tell him how wonderfully glorious we find Him not for our comfort.

Having said that some people are not comfortable getting overly loud but it doesn't mean we have to stop others from expressing what they feel for God.

I personally am not a yelling praise kinda person it just isn't my personality, I don't even do it at sporting events or parties or anything............... BUT ILOVE TO HEAR others praise that way and see the expressive nature toward God and feel His warmth and pressence in that and that is OK too but it is never for us to say where someones heart is and if their praise is an embarressment, which it is not unless it is unscriptural which I don't beleive for a second what this thread started about was.

Nothing wrong with dancing before the Lord. God probably loved it. Too bad your music pastor just doesn't 'get it'.

"However, our worship pastor pulled me aside before I left and told me he was embarassed by what I did.

Tell him that the Holy Spirit is not limited to his understanding of Him.

You do your thing before your God and don't be discouraged.

God is pleased, even if your preacher man is not. :hug:

I could be wrong, but I think that this person is saying that Jesus told us to let our light shine before men and not to hide it.

The pastor is trying to get her to hide her light under a bushel instead of setting it on the rooftop.
