“Orchestrated Dancing in the Church,” “Is it Scriptural?”
The Building of A Church
Orchestrated dancing with all its glitter and glamour is simply a “new cart.” Just because it excites the flesh, and the majority of the Church sees nothing wrong with it, does not mean it is harmless.
What’s the harm? Whenever we attempt to please the Lord through our fleshly efforts, we may end up so far from the Ways of the Lord that soon “anything goes.”
Let me ask you, after the last note, the last dance step, and the final pirouette, who is lifted up, Jesus Christ or the flesh? Our task is simple – get out of the way so He [Holy Spirit] can have His way!
Most church services are not structured so the Holy Spirit can have free reign. As such, we end up with fleshly efforts that do little more than attract, tease and exalt more flesh.

We must realize that God does not accept our fleshly efforts, no matter how grand. He will accept nothing less than our obedience. However, this obedience must be to His Word and the blowing (karar) of the Holy Spirit.
The Hebrew word is karar {kaw-rar’}, and means, “to whirl.” It is similar to a leaf being blown by the wind. The leaf has no power of itself, it simply moves as the wind blows.
A common misconception in many churches is how to reach people people with the Gospel. The 21st century witness must first cater to the needs of the people (physical,emotional, mental, social and economical). That, my friend, is not our job, but the sole responsibility of the Holy Spirit!
Folks, if we provide an atmosphere in which He [the Holy Spirit] can work, He will do the rest!
“And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me; Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.”
