What is going on here?

If you want to jump on the pulpit and do the running man like the dude in the video, have at it.

If you want to do the macarena or the funky chicken, go on and do it. If you want to c walk across the altar, whatever.

And leave snarky remarks because there’s a smoke machine in the background of a preaching clip

Some of you guys will never get it. Just sit there and patty cake for Jesus while the rest of us will give a sacrifice of praise. Its not going to be a good ending for the lukewarm. Why not praise God with all you have? Isn't God worthy?

Literally no one has posted in this thread that people shouldn't praise God. Just don't be a showboat, dancing on the pulpit.

Run the aisle if you wish. Dance, jump, jerk, spin around if you desire. No need to jump on the pulpit and draw attention to yourself.

Of course He is. That's a stupid question.

Are you an adult? Was David a showboat? He danced in front of all Israel half naked. Would you tell David he is just showboating? Maybe you and David's wife share a common spirit.

Another dumb question.

No, David did not dance "in front of all Israel half naked." He was wearing a linen ephod, not his royal garments. He was not naked nor was he "half naked."

Since you bring David up, no, he wasn't showboating. In fact, quite the opposite. By stripping himself of his royal garments and putting on the linen ephod, he humbled himself -- which is why Micah was so upset.

So because I don't agree with a dude jumping on a pulpit, I'm contemptuous of all worship? Get out of here with that junk, man.

I have jumped. I have run the aisle. I have danced and spun around. I don't despise praise.

Personally, I don't like choreographed praise dancers. I don't agree with the churches which allow women to twerk and dance in front of the church for a show. I don't agree with preachers jumping on pulpits or running the tops of pews during their messages.

That doesn't mean I'm contemptuous of all praise. It certainly doesn't mean I "share a common spirit" with Micah.
