Join the Great Dance

For the relationship of the holy trinity as a Great Dance we have to thank St. Gregory of Nazianzus (4th Century) and C.S. Lewis (Perlelandra). It is the exciting reality that the members of the Trinity were in love with one another and had pleasure in giving themselves away to one another. Thus we see in the Scriptures that the purpose of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Son, the Son's will was to do the will of the Father, and the Father glorified the Son and has given Him the kingdom.

God created and has called all of us to get in on the Great Dance by giving ourselves away in love to one another. In the gospel of John you are told that if you love Jesus you will be loved by the Father and the Father and Son will come and make their abode with you. The Holy Spirit is then promised in this passage as being sent by the Father to us and then later the Spirit is said to be sent by the Son. There is no contradiction here. The three are one and they are seeking to invade your life with their life-- which is a dance of love. See John 14-15

World Impact Update:

We encourage all to get in on this dance of love. What is God calling you to do in terms of bearing the fruit of love in the world. To bear fruit is why you were created and chosen (John 15:16). We challenge you to find your fruit-bearing place in the world which requires you give yourself away. Here is what we are trying to do and you are invited to join us if you will:
