I was going to post this tomorrow but my wife FORCED me to post it today. Besides, it will probably be old internet news by Friday.
Just to give you an idea of what this video is all about, here are the tags for it on YouTube: dancing, sad, bizarre, funny, awkward, Jesus, mind, key, renewed. I could not have said it better myself…
HT to Dustin, AKA Pastor Mark, AKA My Little Pony & Kelley
Oh wait, there’s more. That’s right…

I wonder if they would be willing to come and do a weekend workshop with our worship arts team. I think that I truly found a way to marry multi-generational transfer.

Following in the steps of Carlos Whitaker, I see. Clayton, you are better than that. Plus you have now booked this worship team for the next worship service at your place? WOW. Don’t think that is a step of faith move. Huh?

Although some white folks might have rhythm, they still shouldn’t dance.

I am serious. That makes me laugh so hard. This is way better than SNL’s church songs, but this is %100 real, in the flesh. I’m just so confused at the emotions hitting me that the one that comes out is uncontrollable laughter. Thanks for sharing. I’m posting your blog post for everyone I know to check out!

@Zak- Look, I trust your research, and I don’t mean to be cruel but…if you get decieved into that cult after seeing this, you maybe had it coming…

Holy Freekin Crap.
HOLY FREEKIN CRAP!
I’ve heard almost every philosophical argument to convince me that Christianity is false… but this actually makes me want to leave the faith…
HOW COULD A LOVING GOD ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN?!

The only thing more rediculous than this video would be ME trying to dance like that. There are just some things that middle aged white women should NOT DO. And, in that dress?!?!? I’m so confused! How can I reconcile the message with the messengers?!?!? Ross Middleton, your comment is proceless. Addison, I wish I only had to say my head exploded, but I think mine exploded and I ended up in a bizarre alternate parallel universe!!! Clayton, where did you find this?!?!?

@Sharon & @ Kristen- The answer is no, The Way International is actually a cult. So no worries…

OK, the backdrop on the left, the house, looks like something from Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang, the Kaiser’s village with the evil man taking all the children. You could tell it was a cult from a mile away. By the end, I had to ask myself, “What was that?” No wonder. Enough said.

I gave you props on my blog for this, when I found a video of what appears to me to be their children. Anywho, one of my co-workers showed me where the new file is. It’s on their site, I’ve got the link posted but anywho, if you wanted to link to there site so folks can continue to watch it. Just thought I’d give you a heads up!
