  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Just think, won't it be so awesome when we get to Heaven and all the worship music will be played and we will dance before God as David and the others have. Those of us who didn't know how to dance down here on earth will have our Spiritual Dancing Shoes on.. :sorry::clap:

Hi, Godspeak,

My name is Margolit, and I am relatively new to CF.

Yes, indeed, won't it be glorious!!! I am reminded of the opening lines to a worship song we sing in our congregation, "As David Did":

"As David did in G-d's own sight,
I will dance with all my might
Before the King of Kings."

And, really, isn't that what it all should be about, anyway?!

"Let them praise His name with dancing..." Ps.149:3a

Dancing with and for Yeshua,

Margolit

I spent so many years of Dancing and Gymnastics then when I was old enough I began teaching both even at church. Through years of poor self- esteem and getting hurt I quit. I can't allow my self to do it. I can't wait tell the chains that bind are broken and I can once again do it.

Oh, what a day that will be, indeed, NorthWord! Amen and:amen:

For some of us that means being totally free of any physical impediments, aches and pains gone forever, having unimaginable strength and stamina as we worship Him.

And He, being Lord of the Dance, will be leading us and dancing with us, in such love, such joyfulness and abandon as we never known, but have waited for and longed for.

I am reminded of the the words to a song we sing in our congregation, "Lover of my Soul",

"Dance with me,
Oh lover of my soul,
to the song of all songs"

And He will!!!!!

Dancing for and with Him....sigh

Daysoni,

I'm so sorry to hear about low self-esteem and getting hurt leading you to quit teaching. I, too, have been where you are. It is a very special gift, but not always an easy one to share. You didn't say if you quit dancing altogether; I hope not.

Take heart, and know that Yeshua sees you as a beautiful, sweet soul, and longs to hold you and dance with you Himself.....as a bridegroom does His bride. For indeed, that's exactly what you are: His lovely Bride!
And that is something nothing or no one can change, belittle or take away from you!

I will pray for you, that the chains that bind you will be broken, so that you'll be able to dance before Him and with Him, once again, with that special joy and freedom that only it can bring.

Your sister in dance.

Margolit

"Dance with me, Oh Lover of my Soul, to the Song of all Songs......With you I will go, you are my love, you are my fair one..." From the song, "Lover of my Soul"

Get the dance video Shackles from Worship Steps. It will set you free!
It says:
"Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance
I just wanna praise You I just wanna praise You
You broke the chains now I can lift my hands
And I'm gonna praise You
I'm gonna praise, praise you

In the corners of my mind
I just can't seem to find A reason to believe
That I can break free
Cause you see I have been bound for so long
Felt like all hope was gone
But as I lift my hands I understand
That I should praise You through my circumstance
