"Holy Laughter"

[MennoSota]

I think the very notion of the Holy Spirit "taking over" is itself a warning flag.

Indeed. The Spirit's role is one of counselor and prayer when our need is too great for us to articulate.

On a side note: I once started laughing at a ecumenical worship service when the band played "King of My Heart."
I had just read an article earlier that day about the theologically weak songs being sung in churches and when I heard King of My Heart it was the epitome of pathetically bad theology couched as worship. It was funny to listen to a song that said nothing, but evoked emotions. The article turned out to be spot on and it made me laugh.

I am not very fond of that "hymn" about "the Lord of the dance" ...

I can't find the be be be song anymore. I liked that one. So theologically complex.
The lyrics:
be be be be be be be
be be be be be be be
be be be be be be be
be be be be be be be
be be be be be be be
be be be be
being filled


Dont be drunk w wine
for that is in excess
dont be drunk w wine
unless its the Spirit kind

These men they are not drunk
least not as you suppose
its only 9 oclock in the morning
but brothers dont you know
its all in the book of Joel
this promise is for you and your children

I'm feeling mighty dry
and I know the reason why
I need a fresh infilling of the Spirit
He filled me way back when
but I need it once again
in fact I think I'll make it a habit
to

be be be be be be be....
