Dance
Ministry – Why We Dance
The
dance benefits more than one:
• It benefits God, who
takes delight in His people
(Ps149)
• It benefits us, as we
can give appropriate expression
to that which is within us.
God is creative, and He has
made us to be creative. Dance
draws on this creativity.
• It benefits those who
watch, speaking to their hearts
as "deep calls unto deep
. . . " perhaps
in a way which words could never
do. In the Scriptures, many
times God spoke to the people
through visual aids.
We are a visual people and many
times can receive a message
more fully and accurately through
pictures and images.
In
this way, also, the Pastor’s
message may be emphasized and
reinforced.
"Praise
the Lord . . . praise God in His
sanctuary, praise Him in His mighty
heavens . . . praise Him with
tambourine and dancing . . . Let
everything that has breath praise
the Lord.” Psalm 150
