Intro
Whether in a "Circle Dance" (as a male might "dance" in courtship) or in a "Line Dance", it's Dance in English, Danse in French, Tanzen in German, Tanets in Russian (similar to the word "Turns" in English), and Ballare in Italian and late Latin ("Ball" and "Ballet").In Greek, the word was Χορός "choros" from which we get those words "choir", "chorus" and "orchestra". Click here for that verse in the New Testament.
In Hebrew the word was חוּל "Chuwl" (derived from the word Chowl meaning tiny circles, "Sand", "Waited", "Formed").
Click here to see those Hebrew words in the Old Testament.An alternate word in Hebrew was "Kaw-rar", meaning to leap, jump, or skip, as when David danced before the Lord with all his might. See those verses here, translated as "Saltire" in Latin (similar to the word Assault, or even Salt in English).
In Breakdancing, Street Dancing, the moves can be defined as toprock, downrock, power moves and freezes.

Hi all
Chatting this morning about the two examples of Christian lives in the older brother and younger brother in that story of the “wasteful” (prodigal) son in Luke 15. Both have pros and cons, yes, we are complicated people
But in the closing part of the story we have
Now we come to that wonderful passage in
Many years ago, remember studying this with a friend, thinking about “mechanisms” that assist us in this “dance”, with our “dance-leader”, being the Holy Spirit
5 But also for this very reason, giving all diligence,
supplement your faith,
ok starting with faith, belief — what you hold dear, your persuadedness — faith comes by hearing, hearing by the word of God, and we’ve either had words from God in the Lord Jesus, by the Holy Spirit, connect us in this life or we’re going to in the next. So, better to seek him and make the connection in this life, that’s for sure.
with virtue (i.e. soldier-like manliness, courage, so, find the ones who can encourage you, and spend time with them in the Lord. Where one may fall, two stand together and a three-fold cord, etc, etc)
to virtue, knowledge (study those scriptures, know the scriptures, as the inspired written Word)
6 to knowledge,
to self-control, perseverance — ouch (but yes, praising him at all times, giving thanks for all things, for all things working together for good for those that love God)
to perseverance, godliness (God-centredness, worship, devotion to goodness, those things that build up, again, special to each one)
7 to godliness, brotherly kindness (being fond of our brothers (and sisters), connectedness, however that comes, not holding grudges, regardless of what they do)
and to brotherly kindness, love (a-gap-e, love, other-centredness, wanting the best for others, opposite of self-centredness).
8 For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren (sitting around doing nothing) nor unfruitful (what you will be doing will bear fruit) in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 But he that lacks these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and has forgotten that he was purged (cleansed) from his old sins.
10 Wherefore the rather, brothers, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if you do these things, you shall never fall:
11 For so an entrance shall be ministered to you abundantly (there’s that dance-leader word again) into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
