The Over-Spiritualizing of Praise Dance Ministry

Serving in Dance Ministry and being a student of God's Word has bibically put Praise Dance Ministry in proper perspective. For years I over spiritualized Praise Dance Ministry. I did this out of sincere ignorance.

In this post, and in posts to follow, I want to share with you the error of over-spiritualizing Dance Ministry. Over-spiritualizing something simply means to take that thing (concept, action, knowledge) and understand it or treat it beyond what Scripture teaches. Sometimes we value our experiences, convincing coincidences or personal convictions over the Word of God. Our experiences or personal beliefs are relative, certainly not authoritative, subjective, and ever changing. It is important, especially in this ministry, to understand that God's Word is the final authority and our beliefs and experiences must fall in line with it.

Welcome to PDCM's New Home!

Peace and blessings! Welcome to our new Home. We have decided to redirect Praise Dance Central Ministries to Blogger for better content control over advertisement. Random advertisements have been placed under posts which we have no control over. We are finding that these advertisements are contradictory to our content. Thank you for your support and for visiting us at our new location.

SAP Your Technique!

Praise dancing for many years taught me…well, more like forced me to be creative. I mean, how many times can one recycle an expressive movement in their dance? Since I did not have the opportunity or time to learn different forms of secular dance (not implying that this is necessary, but it can be helpful), I was forced to adopt what I call SAP into my discipline.

Be QUIET and SOTP it already! Teaching Praise Dance | Liturgical Dance To Kids.

Let’s face it! Children are loud, emotional, energetic, goofy and curious. I get that, but how can we calm them down to teach them?
One thing that I am learning is to allow them to participate in the process. When I first started in Youth Ministry, there was a lot of yelling, over talking, and frustration. Not the kids mind you, but me. I would yell at them, over them, to them; just yell in every which way possible to exert authority over them.

Error of Self Promotion - Looking for Opportunities in Ministry

Why You Should NOT Promote Your Ministry

Ministry affords us many opportunities. These opportunities come to us, often times, when we are not looking for them because it is proof that God’s Word is true. Our gift will surely make room for us (Prov. 18:16). Our gift is the key to the fulfillment of our purpose. It is not our education, our money, social status, or hook-ups as our society so adamantly believes. It is our gift and God has given each and every one of us at least one. Work what your Father gave you!

Help! I God has called me to Dance Ministry, but I am not trained in the dance...what am I supposed to do?

I get this question a lot and of course I always answer back in the comment section. However this time I think it is necessary to post my answer in a blog post so that many with the same question can be encouraged by it.
