Don’t be so holy that you’re no earthly good. I like to dance but I don’t go clubs, dance halls or hangout. However, I do keep up with the latest line dances. When I’m invited to a wedding, birthday party, Christmas party, etc… I do get on the dance floor and shut it down.
Many people will say a preacher let alone an Elder certainly shouldn’t be dancing. Yet, the bible says there’s a time and place for everything under the sun. I was at a wedding reception and I was doing the Cupid Shuffle and one lady was appalled when she found out I was a preacher. She said you’re a preacher and you’re out there on the floor dancing. I told her yeah and if you come to church tomorrow I’ll be up there preaching to you too.
Needless to say, she had nothing else to say to me for the rest of the evening. She felt it was wrong for me to dance but she didn’t feel it was wrong for her to be sitting in the wedding reception. Dancing won’t keep you out of heaven. If so, David would have never made it in.
We will never be able to reach people if all we do is highlight things they can’t do when they become a Christian. We are not pleasing God when we act holier than thou, and we definitely are not winning souls.
So just when you think you are better than the sinner, lay person or preacher in the church, check yourself before you wreck yourself.
Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.
