“Houston, we have a problem!” was the understatement of history. A space capsule with three Americans just lost power a million miles from earth. It was just struck by debris as it approached the orbit of the moon. God inspired scientists how to put “a square into a circle”.
Likewise, to say we have a problem is an understatement of far greater proportions. Everyone reading this is on a collision course with the day of God’s reckoning. The scales of justice are weighed against the sin of every descendent of Adam and Eve. The resolution to this dilemma is of such height, depth, width and breath no man can imagine. Yet, as if this scenario is not already highly complex, a great amount insist they already know the answer. Thus a means of communication must be found that can both effectively reveal the answer and also penetrate and expose the delusion.
Mercy has commanded us “GO…into all the world and preach the gospel”( Mk.16:15/Mt.9:13). With everything in our feeble human abilities we strive to communicate 5 LETTERS: J E S U S! Eternal life (Jn.17:3)! No matter how many words we speak they are not sufficient. No matter how big of signs we lift they are not sufficient. Thus we employ all means possible to a express the magnificent salvation of Jesus Christ. Theater, magic, humor, poetry, are just a few. Our primary expression is the music we write and the dances we choreograph. These are the means by which the young nation of Israel, especially under the reign of King David, employed to display their exuberant love for God.
We do not see ourselves as a “dance group” with a “performance” but as sons and daughters expressing the heart of the living Jesus on earth to YOU as an individual. We take over the air space of darkness with the power of His light (Eph.2:2/Jn.3:19ff,8:12ff). We are preparing the way for the return of the King riding on His white horse (Rev.6:2,19:11). What response could be more provoking to Satan, with his strategy of grief, then dancing?!
We invite you to come with us into our “land”(Heb.11:9). Let go of all preconceptions. Open your heart to “LIVING water” (Jn.7:37ff). This is not a land of nice buildings, traditions of men and “lip service” (Mk.7:6). This is a state of great laughter, spontaneity and transparency. There is no need for striving to act good. Humility and wisdom grant a freedom from ego so as to admit the gravity of our sin and then going beyond into the ecstacy of forgiveness and eternal life. This is a “place” of profound “rest” (Hebrew-“sabbath”/Heb.4:1,5,9-11). Defined not by a mere lack of inactivity. Rather this is the inner activity of faith where one finds the Father Who recreates an orphan into His son (2 Cor.6: 17ff). It is not found by putting on nice clothes for an hour on Sunday but being clothed from within by a supernatural design.

The clincher for me was where Jesus says "Come to Me...and LEARN from Me" (Mt.11:29). How does one "learn" from an invisible Being? Jesus says the true church are those who learn the things of spirit and truth (not pretense and pomp) (Jn.4:24). Does such a work of the heart not require such things of which no man can describe? Silence, meditation, talking TO God are things of spirit and truth. In this mega-hype culture it can be impossible to force yourself into a stillness of heart. You must do the impossible! Start meditating on the Book of Psalms and the Gospel of John. Wherever you are for five or fifteen minutes. It will seem awkward at first. You will find many voices in your head and feelings of anxiety. You've got to LEARN to silence them. Solitude is essential!
You will find that the reaction by others to this quest, to go directly to Jesus, is treated with presumption; "Oh, of course. I know all that already". Men can work eight hours a day but are too lazy of heart to consider that God's love is of such mysterious and magnificent proportions so as to require a work of individual heart far beyond any passive prayer (Jn.6:27,29). Thus they fall short of His divine Presence. This is the essence of salvation! It was prophecied hundreds of years ago (Jer.31:33-34/Ez.36:26).
This is not the "salvation" of today. Rather it is the unbiblical "accept Christ" prayer-formula that produces plastic "Christians". McDonald's Christianity would have you believe that all you have to do is drive up to the "service" window of any preachers castle and get the salvation-to-go order of repeating a one-time prayer. As if the same generic prayer written for all to parrot has anything to do with the personal heart cry which God requires (Ps.51:17). Like everything in the American culture it is "processed" into an articial and refined response so as to make everyone the same and fit perfectly into their system about Christ.
The brethren in Corinth or Ephesus were the true church who lived as those "set apart" to love Christ rather than this world (1 Jn.2:14ff/Consider Acts 5:32). Luke explains that what Jesus "began to do and teach" in bodily form He now continues in His people in His risen state (Acts 1:1). Their identity was not in an affliation with a particular doctrine, or trying to make this world a better place, but in the power they beheld in their obedient lives looking for the city which is to come . They were uneducated and unlearned but their lives demonstrated that they had actually been with the living Jesus ( Acts 4:13).
Jesus revealed the world is full of religious deception; many "churches", cults and religions (Matt.24). How will you know the truth? Will you learn from a man or go to God? More than ever before, my friend, you must not just go along with everyone. The majority is wrong (Mt.7:13). Don't look at what men SAY. Tons of people claim to be an authority because they have a website or claim to have a following. Like armchair quarterbacks who never played a down of football yet pretend to know what's wrong. Look at their LIVES! Do they just sit around like anyone else claiming to be religious? Or do their lives stand out as a witness? Are they doing something that bears the cross of Christ (Mt.10:38)?
There is nothing wrong with going to a service to try and learn something but watch over your heart (Proverbs 14:23). "...A little leaven levens the whole lump..." (Gal.5:9). Hypocrisy is like toxic waste, it disintegrates sincerity and corrupts anyone with a heart. Don't give yourself over to "church". Learn and go on. You must not settle there. You must keep going. You must get beyond it to learn, build and discover a personal walk with Jesus. We can tell you it is awesome! Do you know His voice? Your life now and your eternity are at stake. This is about your capacity to walk in abundant life or abundant hypocrisy.
For surely there is a true church and is a false church. There is a false christ and a true Christ (2 Cor.11:3-4ff/Mt.24:24,23). Jesus beckons you to come to Him and find the posture of humility to become a disciple and learn directly from Him. His anointing is capable of teaching you all the things (1 Jn.2:27). The idea of God actually coming into your being can only be defined as a mystery (Col.1:27). David said "I have more understanding than all my teachers: for Thy words are my meditation. I understand more than the ancients, because I keep Thy truths" (Ps.119:99ff/read the whole chapter).
Jesus is waiting....If anyone is thirsty!
