The Wild Dance

The Wild Dance

The Christian life is a STORMY, FEROCIOUS, EXTRAVAGANT party filled with EMOTIONAL DANCING!!

It is a wild dance.

There is nothing tame about it.

If your walk with God seems tame, boring or mundane, YOU AREN’T LIVING A LIFE IN LOVE WITH JESUS.

Jesus is romantic.

He is wild, unrelenting, persistent, courageous, bold, valiant.

He is LONGING to engage you in a PASSIONATE dance.

Are you dancing?

“You turned my wailing into DANCING; you removed my sackcloth and CLOTHED ME WITH JOY, that my heart MAY SING TO YOU and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever.” (Psalms 30:11-12).

Why are you not dancing?

You fell out of love.

Rev. 2:2-5

Doing the “right” thing is not good enough....

In the midst of you trying to be the BEST CHRISTIAN YOU CAN BE, “You have FORSAKEN your first love.”

You have left Jesus out on the dance floor all alone... 

How do I start dancing again?

“Remember the height from which you have fallen.” (Rev. 2:5)

You were once in love with God.

Jesus is waiting right where you left Him to pick up right where you left off.

There was a time when God was your pursuit and Jesus was your delight.

Jesus is simply saying, “Come back!”

There is no need to be cleansed...He’ll take care of that.

He doesn’t care where you’ve been; He just wants you with Him.

“I want to get lost in the BEAUTY OF JESUS and DANCE through the night around your throne.” –Evan Earwicker

“God is not merely the reason behind existence, nor the curer of ills and confusion. Matter and thought are a canvas on which god paints;  ...a painting of tragedy and delivery, with sin and redemption. Life is a dance toward god. And the dance is not so graceful as we might think. For while we glide and swing our practiced sway, god crowds our feet, bumps our toes, and scuffs our shoes. He lowers his head, whispers soft and confident, 'You will dance to the beat of 'amazing grace' or you will not dance at all.'  So we learn to dance with the one who made us. And it is a taxing dance to learn. But once learned, don't we glide. And don't we sway. And don't we bury our head in his chest. And don't we love to dance." -prayer and the art of volkswagon maintenance (Don Miller)
