As you know, I can never work out the best way to handle the money side of dance ministry, and this has come to a head once again. I've just been asked to provide a group of dancers for a forthcomi...

OK, time's up :) The hebrew word translated "joy" in Ps 30:11 is simcha. The parallelism in this verse indicates that joy is synonymous with dancing. The word translated "gladness" in Ps 100:2...

No responses, maybe because the domain's been down. Shall I give the answer...

There was an important judgement in an Israeli court last week regarding the right of some messianic believers to make aliyah. See <URL url="http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/359362.aspx">http://www...

Can you make a connection between these two verses? Ps 30:11 You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy Psalm 100:2a Worship the Lord with gladness I...

Here's something I've been thinking about recently: How do you respond to someone who feels that worship dance (of any form) in church services is not permissible, based on their reading of the Bib...

I've been booked to lead a messianic dance day for a church next month. It turns out I can't make it due to work commitments, and a couple of friends will be doing it for me. But I'm still involved...

I've just got a couple of films called <URL url="http://www.thedestinyofbritain.org.uk/">The Destiny of Britain and <URL url="http://www.theforsakenpromise.org.uk/">The Forsaken Promise, p...

Forgive me if this is something I've asked about before - I've been thinking about it recently. There seems to be two main strands that have contributed to what is called davidic or messianic worshi...

I had a perfect example a few days ago of the problems caused by not planning. We had to do the same messianic dance twice in a row because we hadn't checked with the musicians what songs they were do...

Having done a bit of research, I've recently been very encouraged to discover that there appears to be loads of dance happening in churches in the south/latin american countries. The use of tambourine...

I've occasionally come across the term "body worship" used to refer to what most people would call dance, sometimes in more of an interpretive or sign language style. I was wondering if anyone else...

(Warning: long and a bit of a rant!) My view has always been that "dancing in the spirit" is a man-made term and is not biblical. As far as I am aware, its origins are in the Pentecostal movement a...

I don't have time for a detailed reply, just to say that I completely agree that we need to respect the Jewish people and not do things that offend them. Misusing objects and words is definitely out o...

Wow! Sounds like it was awesome. Did you meet Ralph & Mindy Seta? They were there to teach messianic dance. I've known them for a few years, and I'm organising Mindy's first trip to England ...

Hi Daego, I can commend everything that Dean and Helena have said to you. They are wise and experienced people who are a blessing to many. Let me just add a few comments of my own. Historical...

I posted this a few days ago on another group, but thought it might be worth including it here as well. I am sad to have to inform you that Florence Mary Ball went to be with the Lord on August 3rd...

There's a term I sometimes use - "downstream pollution". I'm sure you get the idea. We need to be very careful about what we say (on any topic), especially if we are in a position of leadership. An...

It's interesting to think about replacement theology in relation to hermeneutics - methods of biblical interpretation. The main techniques adopted by evangelicals are:<LIST> <LI> The pr...

No flags or banners that I noticed, I'm afraid. Not sure that they quite fit the postmodern ethos! The link was on the word "here" - I've now underlined it for greater clarity. If you want it on...

I've just got an interesting DVD called "The Changing Face Of Worship - The Church In A Postmodern World". It features eight churches across the US that have developed innovative approaches. A nota...

I have now done my post on book sourcing, and it's in the marketplace forum. Note that the guy is actually called Kevin J. Conner (not Connor). However, just to confuse matters, the wrong spelling ...
