I love the song and i love dancing for the Lord but i prefer not to do it in that manner...using a worldly dance for a Godly song is a no no but hey to each his own i still love the song though
Ricky Dillard and New G are an amazing Choir. They have all the components of an outstanding ensemble; A great director, genuine praise/worship, energy, synchronism, and everlasting awesome voices for Christ.
To the people saying their dancing is glorifying themselves...Why? Because they look good doing it? Last time I checked wouldn't they be dancing like David did but in a more updated sense? Some people can be so judgemental and quick to downsize anybody of THE BODY of CHRIST.
"Delight thyself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart." That's the best way to sing or anything you do for God, wholeheartedly, honest and pure.
So what's the big deal? They were just swaying like any choir... Just moving relative to the times. How could you sing to a groove like that and NOT move? On top of that it's a happy song. They look like the believe what they are singing. As they should. How would you ever expect to have an ministry of substance if the people you're ministering to don' t believe that you really believe?
Dancing in Church is great, for all things shall give priase to the LORD. I rather bouncing for GOD then in the Club, This is a great song and great moves.
PEOPLE WE ARE TRYING TO ENJOY THE LORD - WHY IS SEX AND SEXUALITY BEING TALKED ABOUT ON HERE? TAKE YOUR PERVERTED SELFS AND GO SOMEWHERE WITH THAT - IT DOES NOT BELONG WHERE THE PRESENCE OF GOD IS!!!
Your suppose to dance and give GOD the praise. Yall acting the Choir was shaking their behinds. This song makes you wanna lean and rock because of the annointing, not because you wanna be seen.
@zmatthew91 God is the only judge and I don't know know who's saved in that choir and who's not. But, I'm not gonna stay nights worrying about because we all gotta make it in so I will be worrying about myself and maybe you should try it!
3:24 the lead singer's voice idk cracked or sumthn(don't kno wat to call it,,, not a bad thing jus sayin) well does nebody else love that sound sometimes if u kno wat im sayin?
since Pres. Obama is so outraged over "faux" homophobia in [the] Black community & Black churches, why does he so ardently seek and assume their electoral support on every opportunity ? Since it outrages him so, perhaps in order to allow him to maintain his character & integrity, the "Black Community" should offer it's objectionable, homophobic support to a more reasonable and balanced candidate come 2012- just a very short time from now ! Is there any other group he snubs more than Blacks ??
We have 21 "CHURCH FOLKS" and 591 "SAINTS"......As long as it's done it Jesus's name, then don't negatively judge it! God Bless Them!!! I love this song! He's ever shining in my soul!!!!
I dont care, all that secular dance should not at all be used to exalt GOD. If you watch this muted, it looks as though they are only glorifying THEMSELVES. Its supposed to be God's show, not theirs.......................................I don't like Ricky Dillard's performances.
@cinasade, well ricky dillards choir has always done like this. This is how a lot of gospel choirs do. Its nothing compared to tye tribbets choir (all of them holding mics, dancing routines, flipping and jumping around and screaming on every song) they are just doing it for themselves for a show. Ricky Dillards choir is doing it for Jesus. I went to his recent recording and they are not playing they are worshipping.
@Cma2k08 Ya know I disagree and I agree...I think Tye Tribbett's music is fun but I will say this I went to a Tye concert and went IN!!! The spirit of God moved so strong in that place it was crazy. Rick Dillard Donald Lawrence and others they do true blue choir music...it would be hard to take Tye tribbett's music and sing it at church. I love all of their styles I think they each bring something wonderful and anointed to the kingdom of God
I love the fact that they have on ROBES. Love it... modern singing with the oldschool spin. Keeping it simple, yet adding spice. I am not mad at it, at least they are not shaking a tail feather in mini skirts.
OMG...that is what is wrong with the "church people". When we were in the world we drop it, clubbed and whatever for the world. Now that we saved some act like you cant party for God. Of course you do things in orderly fashion but I would rather see God's people dancing. pop lock & dropping for God than for the world. As long as they are doing it unto God stop judging and if they arent stop judging.
@topper8061 I have to say that some sins are bigger than others.Look at the judicial system.Isn't killing in mans' eyes worse than stealing? and you normally do more time for that than you would stealing. Well God is more fair than man and more just.He doesn't just mix them all together either.Yes they are all sins but Him being more fair does separate.
When we learn as saints to take the message from the song and apply it to our lives, then we will be better off. It doesn't bother me at all how they choose to move to the music, because it doesn't matter what they do, isn't Jesus still the Light of the World???? Their moving, while it may distract some, does NOT change the message of this song, the truth in the message. He's ever shining in my soul!
I'm just noticing the water bottles on the front row....what do the people on the second and third row get.......nothing. I remember you could a Sunday night musical and NOBODY got a water break. And you can't tell me it's because they're doing a recording, cuz I don't recall Mississippi Mass getting a water break :)
@76dln LOL. You know folks have it easy today.We sweated out our hair and clothes in concert in my time. LOL. I remember doing homework in church because they were in shut in. Who does that? LOL
The drummer in this video is also the drummer for Pure Star Movement, a Christian Rock band! Dude is a beast!!! you can check out their video watch?v=nd20V06F5gU
i dont see why people even try to argue with these fools... never try to argue the bible with anyone because the bible says that "you are a fool that argues with a fool" (i broke it down for the "fools" who dont understand)... not everybody agress with it but who ar you to judge

Come on people!!! Does anyone commenting on dancing actually read the Word of God!! David danced out of his clothes praising God. I will go see dancing for Jesus way before someone on a pole!! Am just saying reality.... 7:18

I got the chance to meet and sing with Ricky Dillard w/my school choir @ Kentucky State University. Phenomenal person he is. Crazy director though. LOLOL...
I ask myself, if you know that your heritage is of the children of Israel and all the black singers are the offspring of the true children of Isreal. Exodus20:2 out of Egypt and Egypt is in Africa. They were African/Egyptian black people. became refugees in Africa again Luke21:20-24 in 70AD. Taken from Africa spread in all nations by ship as slaves the America's and Caribean Islands. Jesus is brass colored choclate Revelation 1:14,15 sing to YAHOSHUA worship him.
Just being honest, I love this song... first time seeing the video. Can't say I wouldn't expect it.. but some of the those tenors just ruin the video for me. Way too much thrust in that snap and bend in that wrist! To God be the glory anyhow, but we need to get it together so we can give Him more glory!
No one has the power to judge and send anyone to hell, only the lord of lords , Christ the savior. We as humans judge people by their appearance and the outside, while God looks at the heart. If he is fine in my Fathers eyes, he is fine in mine. Church folk need to stop attacking church folk. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.Eph 6:12
Work it out yall, dat's my song there!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love dat soul, rock, and flavor. they add to it. I wish more choirs would move more and really feel what there singin about!!!!!!!!!!
Church people...it's a wonder why the world mocks you. I grew up in church and if heaven is filled with people like you all I want to go to hell. So judgmental....so condemning....so self righteous and arrogant...so quick to ASSume. Always bickering, so divided. Most of you don't study and the foolish rhetoric you quote has little if any merit. Some of you may not be "fags" but you are the biggest whores/lyars/gossipers/back biters/haters ever.
I am completely turned off by church and its a wonder I even believe ANYTHING I was ever taught because what I see and hear "saints" doing as was again displayed here...it's sad. We are losing people and the best thing you (expletives) can come up with is if this man or the men is his choir is GAY.
We must understand that just as we worship Christ, people also worship idols. Just as Christians dance before the Lord... people dance before their God. So yes... the church MUST be different. We are not suppose to do the things the world does. It's that simple. Am I judging? No. I'm simply making an observation.... what's scary tho... is so many people see this as ok. It's not. They can move and bop sure... but to mock the world is what the Bible tells us not to do.
I'm a new christian and it's really hard to understand why the saints act like this! It's scary you look to others that are SUPPOSED to have a better understanding of the WORD...Where does it list sins in decending order?? Aren't all sins sin? No big ones, no little ones, just sin. AND isn't it also written that GOSSIPING and MEDDELING IN OTHERS AFFAIRS are sins? Just checking for facts that's all.......
@topper8061 ummm hmmm so all of those "think there perfict and have to judge other Christians" need to get some where and sit down.cuz nobody is perfict but the Father...the only man who walked this earth that was perfict was Jesus The Christ.
@topper8061 Topper, it's like body building. Right now u are skinny with no strength. In other words, you have nothing to shout about. Remember, the message of the song is Jesus is the Light of the World, He's ever shining in my soul! This song came from nowhere! Or, should I say, it came from the spirit from within. Now take that to a body builder. U will not get muscle like this unless you exercise! Dont be a dead man walking. Let the Spirit come in and teach u. Peace & good luck in Ur walk.
@topper8061 I dont see what those things that you mention have to do with this video. Maybe I'm just not understanding. This song speaks of the light of Jesus I dont see what your talking about other then the dancing at the end, all of it is praises unto God read Psalms 100. Now for the dance part at theend, there are many christians who were dancers before they got saved, so instead of dancing in the club, DANCE FOR THE KING!
@jonnyboygq topper8061 is talking about the bopping that ricky and the choir is doing. They are doing have of a pop, lock, and drop it. Then the guys are doing some club moving. True the song is about Jesus being the Light, but I'm sure he notice the children of Israel moving as if he is really not shining in their soul.
@jonnyboygq so leave the dancing in the clubs.when you get saved you're not supposed to have the same mindset to dance like you used to in the clubs.When you get saved you should have the heart and the mind to not do what you used to do.The song is great but the dancing is disrespecting god in his house.
@wowthatwasamazing14 Well we see you're not familiar with the bible; col 1:6 says all thing were created by God by him and for him, including dancing. 2 samuel 6:14 also states that David danced before the Lord with all his might, and was dirded with a linen ephod; you dont know what it is..look it up; im not teachin bible study but you can start with 2 Tim 2:15 study to shew thyself approved then you come talk to me man, you have a blessed day.Amen
@crazyj1984 But why does it have to be dancing from the clubs.I cant recite the bible as well as you but i bet you i can understand what its saying in the right way unlike you.
@topper8061 The scripture says "all unrighteousness is sin". However, God specifically lists some sin as abominations unto the Lord. We are not judging when we witness sin and call it so. However remember also that He says "with lovingkindness I will draw thee". Remember that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and while we were yet sinners Christ died for us. Don't turn your back, turn to face it. Let your light so shine that men may see your good works & glorify God. Amen?
@dmens17 on youtube, type in karen clark sheard and dorinda clark cole(they are LENGENDARY GOSPEL SINGERS!!!!) on the 1st page look for a 1:42 video called karen clark sheard/dorinda clark cole: "got to hold on" look at the moves the choir is doing and it may give u a surprise. c, ppl 4 get that some of the most successful secular artist grew up in the church, learned from the church...and then did there own thing but guess what, they took the lessons they got from the church! don't b fooled
c, i understand ur point but here's the thing, i assume ur refering 2 the "lean wit it" moves made popular by soulja boy but his the surprise: those moves were around loooonnnggggg b4 his time, in the choir. o he may have modified it and add some things but 1 think that ppl 4get is gospel etiquette 101: God gave US the GIFT of song and dance. he gave us the drums, the beats, the sounds, the artistic abilities that were created to give him praise. i can give u and example of were u can see it

@topper8061 talent was taken from the church n music .that's why ppl get confused when they c something that reminds them of the world. sometimes ur right! yet usually gospel artist r simply taking back the art that was bestowed 4 the glory of God & appealing 2 those who won't look up a song by "the caravans" but they kno a song by tye tribbett. don't jump 2 conclusions b4 u know all the fact, that's a sure ticket 2 make u want 2 leave the church & go back n2 the world cuzz u didn't understand

people in "church" not "christians" are always trying to be different than everybody that u end up losing touch with people... God put us here to help and love each other... leave this choir alone
they are ministering YES, but at the same time they are entertaining as well... you perform when you sing... why stand up there looking dead trying to reach someone... its obvious this song has rhythm and bounce to it... so DANCE... stop hating your own people "christian people"
the problem is that this dance at the end, "lean with it rock with it" was taken from a popular worldly song/dance as to say that christ's people need to look and act like the world. dancing is fine, not just what they did. i was entertained, yes, but it was not necessary or right!
The Bible says nothing about it being wrong to dance in church. And if you read your Bible it will tell you that when the spirit of the Lord fell on David, David danced his clothes off.

@jrokstar247 Yeah, he danced out of his clothes. But I've NEVER EVER read in the Bible when David "Leaned and Rocked with it." in the name of the Lord Jesus. The Holy Ghost does not act unseemly Come on PEOPLE, BE YE HOLY.
@TheQuantum09 Hold on a minute. You're talking all this stuff. Yet you uploaded a video of you playing a song by Ledisi called It's alright. Even though the song isn't anywhere near bad, in terms of lyrics, but what happened to "Be ye seperate." Stop being contradicting.
@jido35 Someone else on youtube tried to use that argument. The hypocritical or contradictory part comes in if I was in the Lord's house playing Ledisi. Gospel, especially today doesn't know how to keep it separate. I NEVER said there was anything wrong with playing SECULAR music, in fact, I said in a recent blog that there are places for that. I specifically said that you can't bring in that same secular song into the CHURCH or SANCTUARY and try to use it to edify God.

@TheQuantum09 Now see that's where you're taking the word and twisting it to your own liking. In 2 Corinthians 6;17, It says "Therefore come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you." pretext and post-text are not talking about separating the two, however separating your life from one or the other. See, in your argument, it would justify drinking alcohol and doing drugs, as long as it was separate from the church.
@jido35 Did you read my last blog at all? Of course, I don't approve of alcohol or drugs ANYWHERE, but you saying that it's a sin to like R& B music. I'm a musician. I LIKE music. Let's be REAL for a minute. Example, suppose me and my spouse want to "get it on" so to say. From YOUR perspective, I have to use Gospel music to set the mood, which is ludicrous. Are you basically saying that Christians can ONLY use Gospel music to set the mood?
@jido35 LOL. How would it look if I was slow dancing with my spouse to a song like, OH LORD, HOW EXCELLENT, or LORD I LIFT YOU NAME ON HIGH? Don't you think that the Lord would be kind of offended. That's basically what you are saying since I am a Christian who happens to like R & B. Just like I wouldn't make love to my spouse with Gospel music, I would NOT use R & B music or those dances to edify The Lord, especially in presence of God OR his sanctuary.
@TheQuantum09 I'm not trying to condemn you, but I think your logic is just a bit messed up. I listen to R&B, but to say that you use R&B as a sexual stimulation, kind of twitches my eye. I don't want to cause an argument, so I'll leave it at that. God Bless you my brother.
@TheQuantum09 I don't think leaning w/ it and rocking w/ it existed in that time lol. But I will say I don't believe ricky did that anymore on this concert. I don't really think he was tyring to be worldly, lets face it, he has always been, what shall I say? Charismatic. and I gotta say the lead singer can sing.
Ok, um........Imma let God be the judge of all things, as when we stand before him, we must answer for our actions.. I cant answer for yours, nor you for mine. Im sure Im not going to lean with it rock with it, but if thats what they want to do, remember they will answer to God, let him be the judge!
Looking at the comments just further confirms bible study, the church is accepting of the things it shouldn't. "If they praising God by snapping and popping... it's ok" No... you can't magnify God being in your flesh... and the dance is of the world. Even youtube praise breaks are getting on my nerves... cuz I don't see praises... I see flesh. Anyways.. the church and the world should be separate.
You really need to read your Bible. How can you pass judgement when Jesus stated that it was wrong? Thats the problem with the church...so much in fighting and bickering without any true witnessing to a dying world. How can the church be separate when it has a worldly address?? If it doesnt administer to your spirit, then dont look at it at all. Yet you same judgemental Christians can get all delivered from a cross dressing Grandma (Madea) and think thats ok. Really?
Tell me how I am being judgmental? I said the church is accepting of anything. Firstly I have NEVER found deliverance in Anything Tyler
Perry has done. Secondly I do read my bible. Tell me this... Why should the church mock the things of the world if we are suppose to be dead to it? And your right, we should be witnessing to a dying world. The church does fight a bicker... but should we lower our standard of holiness simply to bring souls in? or hold up a standard of Godly righteousness?
THE CHURCH MOCKS THE WORLD ANYWAY!!! Do you think your so called righteous praise songs didnt come out of the blues and R&B?? How do you think you got saved? Something ministered to your/my terrible self and from that I accepted it. All I am saying is that the church needs to really stop all this fighting over pettiness and these comments just irked me for that reason. Yet, what is holy praise and worship? Should we all look dignified and use words no one can get an ounce of salvation...
from? It seems like everyone has their own vision of holiness yet doesnt recall that the Word had to reach you where you were. And the main reason the church exists is to witness, so how you gonna witness using those same old tired ways of doing things? The world has changed and yet the church has not in their ways to reach the lost. Thats all I am saying and I am not attacking you personally. But can you imagine how people that dont know God, can come to see all these people who claim to..
know Him and see all this foolishness. And yet we wonder why people wont come??? It sucks and honestly, I just cant see Jesus being proud of us on this one.
I can tell you this. When I got saved... it wasn't because the choir hit a note... it was because of God's Word. And I don't believe that we have to mock the world in dancing or song to reach the world. And I hope you don't take my replies as me arguing... I think we just disagree. But check this out Holiness: qadash (Hebrew)- separateness, withdrawal. Though the world is changing... God is yet the same and yet ever changing. No I don't think the church should be boring and sing dried up hymns
My church don't. But the bottom line is the church and the world should be different. That's why there are gays in the church with rule... that's why people in the church are molesting children... the church has lost it's standards. We accept anything and say it's of God. Don't get me wrong... I am but a filthy rag in God's sight... but I want to please Him. I don;t do the things I used to do for that very reason. I want to please Him. And I don't believe you can witness the same way the church
did years ago... but I do believe God's word have enough power to save as it did then. And we don't witness through song and dance ( though we can) we witness through the Word.
i aint no preacher man but i knw the bible say "do not be conformed to this world but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind". or sumfin like tht. nd i knw it says sumfin like "if a man be in Christ he is a new creature. old things are passed away behold all thing are created new" so imean we shuddnt be leanin nd rockin nuffin in the choir. bt thts js mee. GREAT SONG THOEE.
I SERIOUSLY AGREE. I never really seen this video, but i always listened to the song... I listen to the words and i try not to look at the way they dance. I am saying this because i learned in my church if we become comfortable with things that are not of God and if we become passive it is SIN! we cannot be passive and comfortable with the things of this world... that dance was orginated from a song that is ungodly, but i try to listen to the words instead of the dances
What is Godly dancing?...It's not like they are doing inappropriate dances....As long as it is sincere to edify the Lord, then I see no problem with it...
@pinkybooblue Many here know where that dance originated from. 2 Corinthians teaches us "be ye seperate." When the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you should see and feel a change. The atmosphere that you usher into the church should be different from the world. There are plenty of places to do these dances, but the Lord's house is NOT, nor will it EVER be, one of those places. John 4: 24, "God is a Spirit: and and they that worship him must worship him in SPIRIT and in TRUTH."
@TheQuantum09 But that like saying the Gospel music of today is unGodly just because its different...No one knows how they danced back then. So for all we know their dances could be just as bad as ours today. And yes there are some dances that are inappropriate, but there is nothing disrespectful about what's being done in this video. How do you know this is not being done in spirit and in truth? Everyone praises God differently.
@TheQuantum09 Well, in that case, we're screwed. Tritones are popular in Gospel chords, however, most people don't know that tritones date way back when they used such chords to worship the devil. Drums were created in tribal times to call forth spirits good and bad. The brass section was created to give praises to the Greek Gods. And there's plenty more place where we fall short. As far as your statements go, we might as well just sing acapella. But then there are problems there too.
@TheQuantum09 ITS AMAZIN 2 ME HOW SOMEONE JUDGE HOW SOMEONE ELSE PRAISE GOD. YU KAN NOT SIT HERE AND JUDGE SOMEONE JUST BECAUSE THERE METHODS ARE NOT LIKE YOURS. A TRUE PERSON OF GOD WOULD KNW THAT. I AM A 16 ND I KNOW THAT MUCH...GOD BLESS
Its funny to me that people can actually think that there are certain dances that are only the Lord's and others that are "of the world". I guess you can shake someone's hand worldly too. The funny thing is that what they think is gospel...you know the real God lovin' gospel is actually the blues, early R&B and negro spirituals. Hasnt the "world" taken enough from the church? The rainbow...even some of these rappers rap like they preaching and now you cant even snap your fingers....grow up!!
@bear1201 well... the whole thing boils down to the church being separate from the world. The church=light, the world= darkness... how can light and dark both abide and intermingle? The scriptures say that the church should be different. It's called sanctification. We sometimes forget sanctification.
LOL!!! How can a choir singing about the light be bad??? Do you people read the Word? Jesus was insulted by the Pharisees because He didnt sit on religious doctrine and ministered to people who werent saved...no matter what day it was or how He found them. Why cant a choir dance? Do you actually think that the church...which is really you....should be in church 24/7 and not being a light to the world?? Such thinking is silly. Do you think the world will be changed by tired hymns?? Please!
Anybody can talk about the things of God... that doesn't make them saved. I didn't say the choir was bad. I did say though that should be a separation between the world and the Church. We (You and I) are the salt of the earth. "but if the salt have lost it's savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing..." <Jesus said this.
MAn like fa real this is a bad song but we have to make sure we are exaultin God not just entertainment ...this is more entertainment....the message is good in the song but its over shadowed by "leanin wit it..rockin wit it" sombody in that group is still lovin the world....
David Danced out of his clothes. Does that make him a stripper. When did passing judgement get a pass in the Christian community? Anyone who can answer, please do so.
Man they singing about a "LIGHT" but I dont see one.... they snapping and popping like they in the club...be4 i repented and got baptized in Jesus name and filled with the Holy Ghost i was doing that mess....THEY WORLDLY MAN, "DONT GET ME WRONG THO ITS A GREAT SONG,, BUT HOW THEY DANCING IS NOT OF GOD" (in the begginging with the snap and popping) ACTS 2:38
Gone ehn bounce with me

Ricky Dillard and New G are an amazing Choir. They have all the components of an outstanding ensemble; A great director, genuine praise/worship, energy, synchronism, and everlasting awesome voices for Christ.
To the people saying their dancing is glorifying themselves...Why? Because they look good doing it? Last time I checked wouldn't they be dancing like David did but in a more updated sense? Some people can be so judgemental and quick to downsize anybody of THE BODY of CHRIST.

So what's the big deal? They were just swaying like any choir... Just moving relative to the times. How could you sing to a groove like that and NOT move? On top of that it's a happy song. They look like the believe what they are singing. As they should. How would you ever expect to have an ministry of substance if the people you're ministering to don' t believe that you really believe?

since Pres. Obama is so outraged over "faux" homophobia in [the] Black community & Black churches, why does he so ardently seek and assume their electoral support on every opportunity ? Since it outrages him so, perhaps in order to allow him to maintain his character & integrity, the "Black Community" should offer it's objectionable, homophobic support to a more reasonable and balanced candidate come 2012- just a very short time from now ! Is there any other group he snubs more than Blacks ??

@cinasade, well ricky dillards choir has always done like this. This is how a lot of gospel choirs do. Its nothing compared to tye tribbets choir (all of them holding mics, dancing routines, flipping and jumping around and screaming on every song) they are just doing it for themselves for a show. Ricky Dillards choir is doing it for Jesus. I went to his recent recording and they are not playing they are worshipping.

@Cma2k08 Ya know I disagree and I agree...I think Tye Tribbett's music is fun but I will say this I went to a Tye concert and went IN!!! The spirit of God moved so strong in that place it was crazy. Rick Dillard Donald Lawrence and others they do true blue choir music...it would be hard to take Tye tribbett's music and sing it at church. I love all of their styles I think they each bring something wonderful and anointed to the kingdom of God

@topper8061 I have to say that some sins are bigger than others.Look at the judicial system.Isn't killing in mans' eyes worse than stealing? and you normally do more time for that than you would stealing. Well God is more fair than man and more just.He doesn't just mix them all together either.Yes they are all sins but Him being more fair does separate.

When we learn as saints to take the message from the song and apply it to our lives, then we will be better off. It doesn't bother me at all how they choose to move to the music, because it doesn't matter what they do, isn't Jesus still the Light of the World???? Their moving, while it may distract some, does NOT change the message of this song, the truth in the message. He's ever shining in my soul!

No one has the power to judge and send anyone to hell, only the lord of lords , Christ the savior. We as humans judge people by their appearance and the outside, while God looks at the heart. If he is fine in my Fathers eyes, he is fine in mine. Church folk need to stop attacking church folk. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.Eph 6:12

We must understand that just as we worship Christ, people also worship idols. Just as Christians dance before the Lord... people dance before their God. So yes... the church MUST be different. We are not suppose to do the things the world does. It's that simple. Am I judging? No. I'm simply making an observation.... what's scary tho... is so many people see this as ok. It's not. They can move and bop sure... but to mock the world is what the Bible tells us not to do.

@jonnyboygq so leave the dancing in the clubs.when you get saved you're not supposed to have the same mindset to dance like you used to in the clubs.When you get saved you should have the heart and the mind to not do what you used to do.The song is great but the dancing is disrespecting god in his house.

@topper8061 The scripture says "all unrighteousness is sin". However, God specifically lists some sin as abominations unto the Lord. We are not judging when we witness sin and call it so. However remember also that He says "with lovingkindness I will draw thee". Remember that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and while we were yet sinners Christ died for us. Don't turn your back, turn to face it. Let your light so shine that men may see your good works & glorify God. Amen?

@TheQuantum09 Now see that's where you're taking the word and twisting it to your own liking. In 2 Corinthians 6;17, It says "Therefore come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you." pretext and post-text are not talking about separating the two, however separating your life from one or the other. See, in your argument, it would justify drinking alcohol and doing drugs, as long as it was separate from the church.
jido35 1 year ago
@jido35 Did you read my last blog at all? Of course, I don't approve of alcohol or drugs ANYWHERE, but you saying that it's a sin to like R& B music. I'm a musician. I LIKE music. Let's be REAL for a minute. Example, suppose me and my spouse want to "get it on" so to say. From YOUR perspective, I have to use Gospel music to set the mood, which is ludicrous. Are you basically saying that Christians can ONLY use Gospel music to set the mood?

@jido35 LOL. How would it look if I was slow dancing with my spouse to a song like, OH LORD, HOW EXCELLENT, or LORD I LIFT YOU NAME ON HIGH? Don't you think that the Lord would be kind of offended. That's basically what you are saying since I am a Christian who happens to like R & B. Just like I wouldn't make love to my spouse with Gospel music, I would NOT use R & B music or those dances to edify The Lord, especially in presence of God OR his sanctuary.

Looking at the comments just further confirms bible study, the church is accepting of the things it shouldn't.

Even youtube praise breaks are getting on my nerves... cuz I don't see praises... I see flesh. Anyways.. the church and the world should be separate.

You really need to read your Bible. How can you pass judgement when Jesus stated that it was wrong? Thats the problem with the church...so much in fighting and bickering without any true witnessing to a dying world. How can the church be separate when it has a worldly address?? If it doesnt administer to your spirit, then dont look at it at all. Yet you same judgemental Christians can get all delivered from a cross dressing Grandma (Madea) and think thats ok. Really?

And your right, we should be witnessing to a dying world. The church does fight a bicker... but should we lower our standard of holiness simply to bring souls in? or hold up a standard of Godly righteousness?

from? It seems like everyone has their own vision of holiness yet doesnt recall that the Word had to reach you where you were.

And I don't believe that we have to mock the world in dancing or song to reach the world. And I hope you don't take my replies as me arguing... I think we just disagree. But check this out Holiness: qadash (Hebrew)- separateness, withdrawal. Though the world is changing... God is yet the same and yet ever changing. No I don't think the church should be boring and sing dried up hymns

My church don't. But the bottom line is the church and the world should be different. That's why there are gays in the church with rule... that's why people in the church are molesting children... the church has lost it's standards. We accept anything and say it's of God. Don't get me wrong... I am but a filthy rag in God's sight... but I want to please Him. I don;t do the things I used to do for that very reason. I want to please Him. And I don't believe you can witness the same way the church

did years ago... but I do believe God's word have enough power to save as it did then. And we don't witness through song and dance ( though we can) we witness through the Word.

I SERIOUSLY AGREE. I never really seen this video, but i always listened to the song... I listen to the words and i try not to look at the way they dance. I am saying this because i learned in my church if we become comfortable with things that are not of God and if we become passive it is SIN! we cannot be passive and comfortable with the things of this world... that dance was orginated from a song that is ungodly, but i try to listen to the words instead of the dances

What is Godly dancing?...It's not like they are doing inappropriate dances....As long as it is sincere to edify the Lord, then I see no problem with it...

@pinkybooblue Many here know where that dance originated from. 2 Corinthians teaches us "be ye seperate." When the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you should see and feel a change. The atmosphere that you usher into the church should be different from the world. There are plenty of places to do these dances, but the Lord's house is NOT, nor will it EVER be, one of those places. John 4: 24, "God is a Spirit: and and they that worship him must worship him in SPIRIT and in TRUTH."

@TheQuantum09 But that like saying the Gospel music of today is unGodly just because its different...No one knows how they danced back then. So for all we know their dances could be just as bad as ours today. And yes there are some dances that are inappropriate, but there is nothing disrespectful about what's being done in this video. How do you know this is not being done in spirit and in truth? Everyone praises God differently.

@TheQuantum09 Well, in that case, we're screwed. Tritones are popular in Gospel chords, however, most people don't know that tritones date way back when they used such chords to worship the devil. Drums were created in tribal times to call forth spirits good and bad. The brass section was created to give praises to the Greek Gods. And there's plenty more place where we fall short. As far as your statements go, we might as well just sing acapella. But then there are problems there too.

Its funny to me that people can actually think that there are certain dances that are only the Lord's and others that are "of the world". I guess you can shake someone's hand worldly too. The funny thing is that what they think is gospel...you know the real God lovin' gospel is actually the blues, early R&B and negro spirituals. Hasnt the "world" taken enough from the church? The rainbow...even some of these rappers rap like they preaching and now you cant even snap your fingers....grow up!!

@bear1201 well... the whole thing boils down to the church being separate from the world. The church=light, the world= darkness... how can light and dark both abide and intermingle? The scriptures say that the church should be different. It's called sanctification. We sometimes forget sanctification.
MsKia0302 1 year ago
LOL!!! How can a choir singing about the light be bad??? Do you people read the Word? Jesus was insulted by the Pharisees because He didnt sit on religious doctrine and ministered to people who werent saved...no matter what day it was or how He found them. Why cant a choir dance? Do you actually think that the church...which is really you....should be in church 24/7 and not being a light to the world?? Such thinking is silly. Do you think the world will be changed by tired hymns?? Please!
bear1201 1 year ago
Anybody can talk about the things of God... that doesn't make them saved. I didn't say the choir was bad. I did say though that should be a separation between the world and the Church. We (You and I) are the salt of the earth. "but if the salt have lost it's savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing..." <Jesus said this.

MAn like fa real this is a bad song but we have to make sure we are exaultin God not just entertainment ...this is more entertainment....the message is good in the song but its over shadowed by "leanin wit it..rockin wit it" sombody in that group is still lovin the world....

David Danced out of his clothes. Does that make him a stripper. When did passing judgement get a pass in the Christian community? Anyone who can answer, please do so.
