Bro. Tyler, your right, all to often, we as Apostolic's only what the
dancing, running and shouting. But God also moves in the slow songs too...
Here just a few weeks ago, we had a wonderful service. No one shouted, no
one danced, no one ran. But after the service was over, I had a man in the
church come up to me and say, "Man, what a service". My reply was, "Bro.
Price, I feel if someone would have shouted, or ran, or danced, it would
have taken away from the mighty presence of God that we had tonight." He
agreed with me...
