Paneh Weekly Roundup #7: Giving Edition

Every Thursday, I will post a link round-up of articles I've found while researching the Internet.  While all may not be directly related to dance ministry or worship arts, I hope it will be of benefit to the dance ministers, mime ministers and worship artists that frequent this site.

We are entering the holiday season, this time of year means different things for different people.  Some focus on giving, others receiving, for some it means spending and others celebrating and memories.  I wrote a guest post for Christian Personal Finance called There is No Such Thing as a Free Lunch – Or is there?, it has to do with the concept of giving selflessly.  As we prepare for Thanksgiving festivities & Christmas productions, let’s go out of our way to be a blessing to others.

 

Enjoy these articles from around the web!

Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord,
and he will repay him for his deed.
Proverbs 19:17

 

Dancers, do you know why you are told to breathe while Stretching?  4Dancers blog explains the “why” of this important stretching element.  For those that teach, it may help to explain why breathing properly is important.

But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
Matthew 6:3-4

James 2:15-16

 

Sign On the Dotted Line started as a comment by Minister Rekesha Pittman on Dance Ministry Ethics #2: Contracted Ministry.  The response was so thorough and passionate that it deserved to be its own blog post!
