Which one is worse, dancing at a gathering or dancing, when not in the spirit, in church? ROTFL! I could be wrong but I don’t think David was necessarily “in the spirit” when he danced out of his clothes! I’m not sure there is a spirit to be in when you dance at church. I think being spirit filled and connecting with the spirit causes one to dance/shout. (Again) we grew up where people did crazy stuff while shouting and alot of times (I know now) it was dangerous! And that is what we deemed “shouting/dancing” in the spirit. Crazy! And people shouted with their eyes closed! Well… let the record show, if I shout/dance these days and move from the spot I’m in to do it, my eyes will be open! I refuse to be carried out on a stretcher because I was shouting with my eyes closed and ran into a pew!

The Pastor’s wife needs to stay in her lane! Agree. And I think God has anointed these special ladies to be dignified and know their lane but for those who don’t, it gravely affects the church and members and it is up to the pastor to guide her back to her lane! Of course, the first reaction is, the people are wrong. The members are jealous. That is always the first line of defense for any issue dealing with a female right? People are jealous of her! They just don’t like her. And if they continue to stir it up, they can leave the church, yada yada yada but… if nearly Er’Body has issues with the same person, can it be all the people and not her? Funny thing, the people who should have an ear out to God (the husband/pastor, those over the pastor, etc), are usually the ones very closed minded on this subject. They don’t want the hassle of it so they ignore it. The higher the position, the less likely it is for them to be wrong. And the wife, I mean really, what? She’s his wife and she is not going anywhere! When I heard this issue on the radio, it is clear; this has become an issue in churches everywhere, especially with the influx of them being co-pastor/assistant pastors/associate pastors! I truly, truly believe, just like the pastor is held accountable for all the members/souls under his covering as the shepherd, his wife is included. It would be a sad sorry day if a pastor missed heaven because he couldn’t control one sheep… his wife!!!

We have gone too far with the message of prosperity for the purposes of growing a church! Is that kind of random or are you saying that is why the pastor’s wife is an automatic preacher/co-pastor, for prosperity and to grow the church?

Thanks for the healthy lifestyle encouragement! I will keep you posted on my progress.

I agree Christians should not cuss or curse! Funny you should say that about the words, I have a young friend who studied cuss words and says she found no biblical backing that calls these words “sinful”. I get that but even a moral less society frowns at certain words/behaviors don’t they. Wonder how God feels? Interesting…

Good idea, if I could picture Jesus electric sliding with me, then maybe next time I will! And yes, it is definitely a “do not do” thing.

Actually pastor’s wives automatically being a pastor/co-pastor might be cultural but it is also a new thing. It has not always been like that. As with technology or anything in life, there is always something new that comes along. This is one of them! And as you say, often, it is clear, the wife does not have the call, she is just married to the man.
