He does a great job listing out the biblical pros and cons, and then shares his conclusions.

I was taught that physical expression in worship was wrong, and I went on believing that. But it seems from my own study of Scripture,particularly the Psalms that it is just the opposite. God delights in our physical expression out of a heart of thanksgiving and love. A friend when we were discussing this responded to the article, "I've always wondered (and this may get me in trouble) why I can raise my hands when my team scores a touchdown, but I cannot do so when my God is being glorified! I wonder if heaven will look much different than our hands-at-our-sides Baptist worship?" The rebuke or maybe just disappointment comes from the realization that I sometimes value things like sports more than I value God. MBS Bob,

This is an issue we are currently facing in our congregation and discussing among our pastoral staff. I greatly appreciate the posts and your consistency to scriptural principles in the application of this subject. I found some helpful things here. Pray for us as we try to teach our congregation and shepherd them in the area of corporate worship.
