I should first confess that I have a long and rich history of sacrilegious worship so it should come as no surprise that I am the one who first suggested that we have a "Dance" service at Bar Church.
All dancing ... No Preaching.
It's Biblical.
King David lost the laundry and danced naked when God came back in a box and ... well ... David lost his mind, lost the laundry and danced in front of everybody!
All of his subjects!
In front of the bureaucrats who actually ran the Kingdom.
All of his soldiers were standing there holding their spears ... comparing their size to his size ... the things that boys do ... raising flags when they can't raise anything else.
But King David didn't care ... he danced.
So an all Dance worship service makes perfect sense to me.
Naked would be better but people can be so ... conservative ... Puritan ... Republican ... Democrat ... whatev?
I suggested this yet again at Bar Church. And yesterday I led the pack and danced in Bar Church. People clapped. Some said, "Praise Jesus!" Others were slain in the Spirit and passed out. A few fixed another cocktail.
But I danced with clothes on.
Dedra was my dance partner. She kept saying, "Please don't, please don't, please don't" with water in her eyes until ... we danced ... in front of a congregation ... with damn good live music ...
then Davy the drummer did a mosh pit kind of dance with us ...
oh yeah, and the press was there ... filming it all
Probably like King David got filmed by the Jerusalem CBS affiliate ... cause a King loved God and himself at the same time ...
and became ...
just himself ...
in joyful abandonment.
So that is my plan for today.
You?
