Science defines ethics as “a set of moral principles, the study of morality.” Therefore, Christian ethics would be the principles derived from the Christian faith by which we act. While God’s Word may not cover every situation we face throughout our lives, its principles give us the standards by which we must conduct ourselves in those situations where there are no explicit instructions.

Here are some articles posted around the Internet this week, sprinked with the facts and quotes about ethics:
Minister Jocelyn Richard will be hosting a Worship Dance Bible Study - you can register for it here. Classes begin November 2nd
We have committed the Golden Rule to memory; let us now commit it to life.
- Edwin Markham
Mentoring Dancers was posted on the 4Dancers blog. The defining moment between teacher and mentor in the first paragraph is something those in leadership can glean from.
Christian ethics is well summarized by Colossians 3:1-6: “Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.”

"’You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. A second likewise is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’" Mark 12:30-31

There were some great dance ministry related articles posted around the Internet this week. Check out a few of my favorites:
Idol Eyes I love Minister Rekesha’s creative ability with words. "Idol Eyes" is a warning for those in ministry that are idolizing someone and the subject of such attention.

Dancing for Joy – When people think of troops in Iraq, there first thought of what they are doing is probably not praise dance. Soldiers from the 13th Sustainment Command CAMP TAJI, Iraq formed the Anointed Praise Dance Team to minister during worship services while deployed.

My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment. – James 3:1
Why YOU need an Email Service Provider. I posted this article on Professional Presence Designs to discuss the need for Email Service Providers. Too many dance ministers have developed a bad habit of sending out mass mailings from personal email accounts. If you are using the Blind Copy (BCC) field, then at least you are protecting the privacy of your recipients. However, your personal email account was not built to handle frequent mass mailings. There are technical implications outlined in the article that can be hindering the receipt of your message. Also, you may be inadvertently violating ICANN Anti-spam policies or your email company’s terms of use policy.
Beauty in Billows – This isn’t really an article, but a picture of how beautiful billows can be when introduced in choreography

Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.
Exodus 20:12
But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
