Navigating God’s Will Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Dec 17, 2018

God’s will is something we usually discern with our renewed minds, but sometimes God directs us differently (but never contrary to Scripture); sometimes He hints at those plans, but has not been clear about them — yet He reveals them in His time.

Know When To Dance

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Jul 30, 2020

If it disrupts the service or calls attention to yourself then refrain from dancing or whatever you are feeling. It may just be you and not the Spirit leading you. Subject your spirit because you can.

Every now and then I feel like doing a joyful dance in church, but it would be too distracting. During worship it might not be too bad, but I never felt led by the Spirit to do it so I don't. 1 Cor 14:40 Let all things be done decently and in order.
