AVOID CORRUPT DANCE.  TUESDAY OCTOBER 17

TEXT: EXODUS 32:1,6-8,19                                                                                                           

Key verse: “I will praise Thee with uprightness of Heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments” Psalm 119:7.

Sinners dance as a way of expressing their joy, pleasures, lust, and pride. Their dance is not unto the Lord, but to themselves and to their father the devil. They are incapable of dancing pure dance before the Lord. Unholy Christians and backsliders who dance in the church are not doing so in worship of God, because they are incapable of worshipping Him. Rather they dance in expression of their personal pleasure and in entertainment of themselves and others. Such is corruption before the Lord. The church should not condone with this because of the effects it has on the worship service and on true believers; they become self-conscious  they consciously or unconsciously seek to impress each other they exert attractive force on each other they tend to watch the performance of each other their minds are pulled from contemplating on God to admiring each other the men cannot bear the fascinating body movement of the women without contrary feelings the holiness of their hearts may be impossible. The men who did not join the women in dances to praise and worship God for the miracle of the Red Sea fully went into dancing at the feast of idolatry. This was easy for them to do because it was their lifestyle in Egypt. They dance to express their personal glory and pride, to arouse themselves for sexual immorality which go with idolatrous feasts and dancing, to display their drunkenness and foolishness in pleasure of the flesh, to show their dancing might in competition with others. Idolatry appeals more to the flesh than the heart. The worshippers satisfy the lust of their flesh through feasting, eating, drinking, dancing, fighting, immorality, etc. But the worship of God deals with the heart and draws the heart to contemplation on God for His uniqueness, majesty, holiness, awe, power, excellence, glory, goodness, and love. The spiritual understanding gained from the adoration, admiration and delightful contemplation on God makes the heart of the worshipper sober, holy, joyful and full of praise and thanksgiving to God. May the revelation of this truth make His people free from contamination and impurity of corrupt dance! Avoid corrupt dance.
