"I like a 'gyrating' church"

 

My work as a preacher has allowed me to hear many interesting things over the years, but a man recently said something to me that was definitely unique.  He said his wife likes to attend a certain religious group in my area because of the “gyrations” associated with this faith. 

I have heard of people selecting a place of worship based on location, size, beliefs, and even politics.  Selecting a group because of divinely inspired gyrations (this is the claim) is certainly new.  Unfortunately this is not God’s criteria for selecting a religious faith. 

“Truth” exists and “truth frees” (Jn. 8:32).  Gyrations may make people feel good – and perhaps burn some calories – but they and the other things commonly used to evaluate religion are false standards.
