That is the kind of logic people use to say people should not practice singing or playing instruments because if you are good it is just a "show". Arghhh!!!

There are many ways to worship and lift up Jesus. Dance...er....signing is one of them. Why deny there can be power and beauty in things done with unity and syncrhonization? It is just denying reality. This is the same trap that keeps many Pentecostals from enjoying the blessing and power from reciting a common creed or a printed prayer for a group to speak together. They are so worried about being Roman Catholic or caught up in "tradition" that they miss blessings.

I knew that was going to come across wrong. LOL

Monkeyman, No, there's nothing wrong with dance-- if one is dancing as unto the Lord. Have you not ever seen people who put on a dance for "show"?

You can tell the difference when something is done as a form of worship-- or when it's done for show. At least I can. I've been very blessed by some signing groups (or around here, they are called drama teams) The difference is made by if the team has been to the prayer room before getting up there. Some are annointed worship. Others are just show.

Now I'm going to back out of the thread before I start a war for stating my thoughts. I need to be cooking supper anyway.

I agree with both posts, and have seen both in live service...signing with a song and interpretative 'signing'.

With both, as with everything we do for Kingdom sake, it is the anointing which makes the difference.

The group from my church does the ASL signing and it is very effective...

You warmed my heart by letting me know that some good man is about to eat a good homecooked meal!

I am patiently waiting for my daughter and her husband to come visit tonight. She is cooking me a meal she cooked for the first time last week and it was one of the best meals I have ever eaten in my life hands down. Including expensive restaurants! The scary thing is that she "winged it" from a recipe she saw on TV and we are not sure she can recreate it. We will find out tonight.

It is an Italian dish but with no pasta. It is sort of like a bisque. It is sauteed chunks of boneless skinless chicken breast simmered in a sauce that is made with some things I don't know but I do know it had tomoato sauce, heavy whipping cream, mushrooms, carrots, spices ,etc. Biscuits are cooked and placed in the center of a bowl then the thick orange colored sauce and chicken poured over the biscuit.

I made a mistake and accidently only bought whipping cream and not HEAVY whipping cream so tonights sauce was very tasty but more the consistentcy of a soup than a sacue like the first time.
