you dont have to like it but instead of saying this is not the Lord's work or whatever look at the good it is doing, if you dont like it then come up with something better for the kids to do to keep them interested and wanting to come to church.... and for some of you..just so you know this is not during worship..this is during programs put on by the church...

They are learning scripture in a way that appeals to them. Our youth today are interactive and we have so many things out in the world we have to compete with to keep their attention.

[meadapoet]

Why not combat that and do something to keep them interested. Just like many churches have basket ball teams etc that is not in the scripture but we do it.

[meadapoet]

If you are CoC then you understand that there is a problem in the church where the kids attend church all their lives and then many of them stray away.

[meadapoet]

But I cant see the harm in it does if it is keeping these young individuals interested in church.

you are all able to have your opinion but these kids are int the church and they learn scripture while stepping. They are doing an activity within the church instead out in the street. you dont have to condone it.

I don't see why people always want to put in a negative comment somewhere,cause I think as long as we are keeping our youth off the streets and not the people that's on the streets keeping them in the streets,we should be proud of our youth for wanting to please God as long as they are learning and getting good teaching

Psalms 69:30 says "I will praise God's name in song and glorify Him with Thanksgiving." Thanksgiving is the act of giving thanks; grateful acknowledgment of benefits or favors, esp. to God. Glorify is to cause to be or treat as being more splendid, excellent, etc., than would normally be considered. In other words, because God is so Excellent and more splendid than anything (in His presence) they are stepping to give thanksgiving.

Sleeping keeps the Children off the street.

Eating Dinner keeps the Children off the steet.

Rev. 22:18-19, do not add to, nor take away from the Word because that is dangerous, and I know that these are members of the Church, but we have too much of that today, in people creating things that GOD is not pleased with, just to gain members, and not to glorify GOD.

You want to know how GOD wants to be glorified, read it, and SEE IT WITH OUR EYES, THEN WE'LL KNOW?

Psalms says a lot of things, and it trips me out on how people continue to go to Old Testament on things to justify error, when in actuallity, David put a lot of things there, that GOD never authorized in the Church, because for 1, there was no Church until the New Testament, and if we are going to follow David, then we need to as men anyway, take another man's wife, because that's what David did.

I am a member of the Church, but we must separate fact from perception.

[chitown3634]

We all express ourselves differently. Everybody isn't called to sing or dance so we must allow people to express themselves to God. If they are not doing it to glorify God then that is on them and God will deal with that, not us. God Bless you all

[chitown3634]

One of the biggest things with "church folks" is that they are so caught up with religion. We all should be focused on our relationship with God. The main goal here is to have a relationship with God and be pleasing to Him. I'm pretty sure that if they are sincere that God is pleased! If they are stepping at church with God being in their heart - Let Them!

I agree...this isn't scriptural but it is keeping these children off the street and hopefully they are being taught that this is not for them but for the Lord...As long as it is not in worship I cool with...Let's just follow the bible...where it is silent let us be silent and where it speaks let us speak...We must remember that in the end it is God who is our judge and the bible tells us not to judge...

if you can sleep at night thinking that BROTHER then do so.....
