The Shirtless Dancing Man (or, How a Movement Develops)

I deny having posted the following about "The Shirtless Dancing Guy."  I think it was a computer virus.
  • After you read the following bullet points, then decide whether to click the link below.
  • If you are offended at a shirtless guy dancing in the distance, please do not click below.
  • If you are offended at a bunch of people dancing on a mountainside, please do not click below.
  • In my defense: there is nothing I thought sensual about the video, but I admit is is somewhat gross.
  • To my credit (hopefully): I think there are some important illustrations herein about being willing to be a fool for Christ and about training national leaders to reach their own people.
Click here to see the shirtless dancing guy unwittingly teaching us something about church planting movements.

All sorts of lessons to be learned:

1. Pick your leaders wisely...
2. Sheep will follow, so be careful where you lead them...
3. Bright lights attract bugs...

I could go on...but right now I'm just trying to figure out how to get dancing dude out of my mind... :0

This could be a great illustration of marriage and family as well. The wife follows her husband in what God has called him to do, encouraging and teaching the children to follow. Others see their example and join in. If done properly, the husband, who was simply a lone voice/example before, now has a tremendous impact.
