Can we dance in the service?

I am sorry your friend was criticized for celebrating their occasion with dancing. Although dance can be mis-used in the way the pastor describes, it is wrong to condemn all dancing as lustful. Dance is a gift from God and can be perverted by the enemy....but it was not invented by the enemy. It was invented and instituted by God. In fact, God as the Trinity, "dances" with Himself. One of the Greek words used to describe the Godhead is perichoresis (litereally 'going around') which is a picture of the Trinity moving in a dance with one another. We get our modern day word "choreography" from this concept. The Psalms also talk about the "dance of mahanayim" (dance of two companies) which refers to the heavenly dance that goes on in union with earthly dancing. The Psalms are full of references to dancing before the Lord.

We are preparing to leave for a dance ministry conference shortly, so I don't have time to research more for you at the present time. Perhaps another ZFFriend will post up a video or two that you could access.
