The Evils Of Dancing In The Church Assembly (1)

Saturday 29th March

Text: 1 Corinthians 10:20-22.

Key verse: They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace. Jeremiah 6:14.    

Church dance provides an opportunity for sinners to dance for Satan: The sinners who come to the church are already used to worldly music and dancing in cultural and disco dance for sensual pleasure. When the opportunity opens for them to dance in the church, they recall the skills, pleasures, techniques, powers, and styles already gained from worldly music and dancing. Their excellent dance in the church, in the name of praise and worship of God, is really not for the Lord, but for the honour and sensual pleasure of themselves. This is pollution to God's temple. They dance for devils at parties and dance for God in the church! Is it true that the local church is a mixture of saved and unsaved men, righteous and unrighteous men, and good and bad worshippers? When the unsaved who are often in the majority, stand up and dance in the worship service, for whom do they dance? Surely, not for God, but for themselves and Satan! God does not accept the worship of the unrepentant sinner. The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to God. Proverbs 15:8. Should sinners dance for themselves and Satan in their parties and dance in church for God? This is a provocation to the Jealous God. His name is taken in vain, and He will not take it lightly with the minister who organizes and encourages this provocation against Him.

Dancing hinders genuine conversion of sinners in the church: The dancing going on in the churches today has an adverse effect on sinners. It destroys the soberness, guilt, and remorse expected of sinners when they come into the house of God. The sinners now are made to dance and rejoice in their sins, as though our God is appeased by their dance. They feel happy and peaceful in their sins, having praised, danced, and satisfied God, as some think. During preaching, the word has less effect upon them, because they think they have settled themselves during praise and dance worship. Soberness in sinners is very important for their conviction, repentance, and salvation. Whatever destroys this in them does not come from God and is a sin against Him.
