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.
