Joy is emotional. Someone once wrote an Ode to it.

David's dancing was an outward expression of praising the Lord,it was done in the right context, dancing for the Lord in the right context is not wrong at all but one should not do so in a disruptive or provocative manner since God is a God of order,it is tricky to differentiate between dancing motivated by the Lord and his presence and dancing motivated by the flesh especially when the music is good,God judges both our actions and motives, we should check our motives when dancing for the Lord and make sure that our motive is to honor and glorify Jesus, when praising keep your mind focused on the Lord

I’ve been in church most of my life (starting at the age of 10). In my opinion, dancing in this 21st century is done as “showmanship.” The church is dancing as a form of spirituality. In other words, if you can’t dance or don’t dance, you’re not spiritual or even a Christian. It’s done as a form of entertainment. David was not in a church!

Glad Wretched has enabled comments!

I'm noticing a concerning pattern. The church has become so overrun by liscentiousness, that now a lot of teachers are pulling so far away thay they're bordering or crossing into legalism. We see all these "pastors" saying "Do whatever you want! God understands!" and we recoil and correctly discern that to be wrong, but in our efforts to "not fall victim" to liscentiousness, we stray into legalism. I think it's a good reminder that it's not any better to be a Pharisee than it is a Prostitute. It's just as serious of a sin to put extra-biblical restrictions on people as it is to encourage people to sin. Isaiah 29:13 "The Lord says: “These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is based on merely human rules they have been taught"

I am not saying I think dancing in church is great, but what I am saying is that we have freedom in Christ and it is legalism to put man-made, unbiblical rules on other believers based solely on your own personal feelings. I would say we all have to pray for discernment and be willing to accept the truth, regardless of if it agrees with our position or not.

Bob also believes you can lose salvation which is a lie from hell. The other point is ecumenical ideas is not only unbiblical but illogical as the different church denominations have different beliefs in salvation which is the gospel!

If David who the Bible that was inspired by the Holy spirit calls David “a man after Gods own heart” and a “mighty man of valor” danced in the presence of God I think dancing in church is fine. God created music, God created rhythm and if the holy spirit is moving in someone and they respond by dance I don’t see the problem.

I dance in church. I don't even like public attention. Sometimes I don't even want to stand up, but God has done so much for me, and sometimes I feel moved to stand up and worship. I don't want eyes on me, but I silently talk to God and say, "It's You and me," meaning I'm not putting on a show for anyone. It's just me and Him. Sometimes I'll even just close my eyes and sway.

Church services should be orderly. Dancing decidedly has a tendency to be disorderly. The fact that someone can prophesy does not mean he should interrupt the preaching with prophecies or speaking in tongues. Paul was careful to make that a point.

"Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; let the people of Zion be glad in their King. Let them praise his name with dancing and make music to him with timbrel and harp." - Psalm 149:2-3 Be careful not to throw burdens on people that God is not burdening people with. The Pharisees had "justification" for forbidding healing on the sabbath

All for His Glory. Each should pick his own way of worship. If you enjoy dancing, then do it for His Glory. If you like to lay down on the ground to worship, great. If you kneel and throw your hands up, then wonderful. Do what you want to worship the Lord. The problem lies where people feel they have to do something because everyone else is doing it. Or people make you feel bad or that you don't have the Holy Spirit because you don't worship like them. There is the problem. Because then who are you doing it for?

Love these guys! But check this out Halal - primarily a Hebrew root word for praise. Our word “ hallelujah” comes from this base word. It means “to be clear, to shine, to boast, show, rave, celebrate, to be clamorously foolish.

David was very connected with God and feeling spiritually emotional and trying to please God is how I see this scripture

Psalms 149 .3 says to praise God in the dance

David danced before the Lord with all his might! 😊😊😊

Its really sad to see so many Christians arguing over this and believing we can know what is in each others hearts. Its also sad that some men are talking about women dancing in church "distracting" them. Just close yours eyes and focus on God. Worship is definitely not about watching other people to see how they worship or what they're going to do. David danced before the Lord on a road, Miriam and a bunch of other women danced and sang before the Lord on the other side of the Red sea. Okay so these were not churches. Does it matter? I don't see how when the church building is not the temple of God you are! I'll dance for joy because God redeemed me and set me free! I'll dance because God sees fit to live and dwell inside me. Why should the enemy be allowed to have dance when God is the creator? The joy of the Lord is my strength is it yours? Does dancing fill you with joy? Do you think it fills God with joy to see you enjoying life and all the things that He has given us?

I usually agree with Voddie, but i think he did not make his case at all when pressed on the issue. I dont believe we MUST dance in God's presence, but i believe We're ALLOWED to dance in God's presence.

1 Corinthians 14. All things decently and in order

I'm reminded of the song, who's lyrics are written as follows: "I will dance, i will sing, to be mad for my King, nothing more is hindering this passion in my soul And I'll become even more undignified than this Some will say it's foolishness..." It's a great song. I was whooping and hollering because it was a great time in praising God. It's hard finding a church that does that today.

Who wrote that song? Man. Who wrote the Bible? It's God's word. I would take instruction from the Bible, rather from a song written by man.

Bibles are free in most churches and since you’re in a comment section in KZread I’d imagine you have a device of some sort and internet Bible gateway is a free online Bible .

@@Huckleberry68 I have the MySword Bible app. A Bible app that has bibles going all the way back to Wycliffe, Tyndall, and the great vowel shift in over 20 languages. It has books and essays written by the most influential commentators of Christianity. I don't need another Bible app telling me how to follow God's commandments and the faith of Jesus.

I’m not even a Christian and I figure this is obvious. Dancing is a valid form of worship for the Lord, but it’s not necessary to do if you don’t want to? Like I didn’t even think this was a question

I think it stems from ppl dancing for dancing(s) sake. Not as an overwhelming expression of joy from the Holy Spirit.

@@ramoth777 I’m pretty sure following Jesus and/or his father is a religion mate He has some very specific things he does not like

I have a crazy idea, why don't we let people praise God the way God leads them to whether that is quiet prayer or joyful dancing.

Yes feelings are deceiving emotions can effect how you react threw tribulations

One of the greatest gifts bestowed upon me was to have my eyes opened to the fact that Jesus has a sense of humor. Awesomely funny, I laugh until I am out of breath. I try to keep it in check, and my foundation is always taking Him seriously. But it is a form of loving him with all of my heart, my mind, my soul. My strength manifests by how all consuming my joy and laughter can be!

Do all you do unto the Lord. Let the Holy Spirit lead.... He is very capable. Outward expression of worship is throughout scripture. Yet there is order... Not mans order but Gods order.

Praise him with the timbrel and dance praise him with stringed instruments and organs. Psalm 150:4

Self-appointed judgment and legalism are not the ninth and tenth gifts of the Holy Spirit.

We are not dancing for ourselves it’s about giving all glory to God in a form of worship.😅

Wretched radio is cool :)

hi itzdime lol

Dance away everybody, God is love! Don’t be a hater killjoy in church, if you don’t wanna dance that’s your cup of tea, just don’t try to kill my joy, thank you very much!

As long as the emotional response is in response to truth and celebration of God working, I believe dancing, shouting, weeping, clapping etc. is biblical. Just let truth lead the way rather than manufacturing emotion and hoping that the truth catches up. Dancing doesnt have to mean being in the aisle or being distracting (which many conservatives automatically believe it always is) but I would propose that it can mean that depending on what is being celebrated! You may agree with Voddie…that someone getting saved might elicit dancing… but do you ever do it!? Do you ever response emotionally and just praise him with abandon? I‘ve been in many situations that conservatives were not in the habit of raising hands, clapping, moving their feet (bc it wasn’t a part of their tradition/culture) and I believe that they are missing out on a part of the spiritual relationship with God. Emotion is a part of our earthly life so why should they avoid it as a godly response to the Most High (who has done exceedingly more than any earthly sports team, job, relationship etc. could do)?

Love this!

The letter kills but the Spirit gives life !

As someone who goes to a non denominational church that’s really Pentecostal, I whole heartedly agree with Voddie’s explanation of this.

Me I don't dance AT ALL. Dancing is just something I don't do. I grew up in a charismatic church and they made it seem you are required to dance to praise and worship God. When in reality, dancing is a permitted act of worship by God. Every time I went up to the alter, to "dance", it NEVER felt real. Same goes for slaying in the spirit. The relationship between Jesus and I seems to be more focused and serving. Thing is a lot of Christian think there's a one sized fits all relationship with Jesus when in reality Jesus know exactly how to win everyone's hearts. Personally. Just Jesus and you. I've come to conclusion that Jesus loves me, I love Him and our relationship is beautiful. Seek Jesus people. It would help you a ton.

Though it is an embarrassing site my fellow church members have broken out into a conga line on two occasions during our last song.

When I think about Jesus and what he's done for me and how he set me free, I can dance dance dance all night!

"Narrative is not normalative -except when it fits our theology."

Psalm 149 says , Praise the LORD. Sing to the LORD a new song, His praise in the ASSEMBLY of HIS FAITHFUL people. Let Israel rejoice in their Maker, ler the people of Zion be glad in their King Let them praise His Name with DANCING and make music to Him with timbrel and harp For the LORD takes delight in His people, He crowns the humble with Victory..... As long as we're dancing unto the LORD, saints, let's dance our clothes off. But more importantly let us live lives worthy of our calling

Love love LOVE THIS MAN!!!!! THANKYOU for always teaching the TRUTH VODDIE…. ✝️🙏✝️🙏✝️🙏✝️

Show me where dancing is against the bible

The real question to me is what the context is inside the church. At our church there is a special worship service once a month in addition to regular services. It is nothing but music, performance, some speaking and baptisms, etc. Some dance there. It is a “party” and time for frivolity. In the regular services it’s a time for thoughtful and serious-minded reflection. I think this appropriate.

There is dancing in the spirit and dancing in sin. David was not in the temple but worshiped God through dance. I will bless the Lord at all times.

Nice

There are times for everything. David pleased God. He was not ashamed of God. And he showed. He was dancing in the spirit to God. Not of the flesh unto the world

Let them praise his name in dance. Psalms 149:3.

Is this even suppose to be an argument? What nonsense! Enter into his gates with Thanksgiving and into his courts with Praise.

Dance all you want! You don't need Voddie or anyone else to tell you what you can or can't dance about in worship !

Huge difference between dancing to the Lord and a worldly dance that brings attention to self..

No joy allowed says the "reformed baptist"

Just going to leave this here: ‭"Praise his name with dancing, accompanied by tambourine and harp. ‭4 For the Lord delights in his people; he crowns the humble with victory." Psalms 149:3-4 I also can't help but see a racial undertone to this. The Reformed/Calvanist is traditionally European and Male. In contrast, the black church (& brown) has long been demonized for our more expressive worship styles, specifically by certain white faith traditions, not because its actually wrong but because it does not fit their cultural preference. This is something to take note of, especially because Christianity is not a European faith. I think Calvanists often forget that God is also Spirit and supernatural in addition to caring about theology.

I am so glad he added the context. It is kind of odd to me that these churches tell people it is ok to dance in church but do not allow parishioners to dance (tastefully) at a wedding.

I feel like the people who want church services to be a rigid three songs sung with little emotion and absolutely no drums or electric guitars or the like probably have never truly read the book of Psalms

You it’s funny how people can always find justification to do something without God’s approval. Who is the number 1 worshipper of all time? Who worshipped God the absolute correct way without blemishes. Right the Son of God. But, we are going to imitate a form of worship from a man who was a murder and adulterer. I see why most Christians can’t overcome sin. The Bible says follow and mark the perfect and upright. How about following Jesus Christ as our model of worship. He never dance, ran or laughed out load, screamed, and every other type of emotional behavior. The way of the cross is a changed mind, not emotionalism. I feel sorry for this weak and perverse generation. They hate scripture, they exult personal relationships over the truth of God’s word. Every thing with this generation is what I personally believe and my convictions. Let all you be liars and the Bible truth. God said, he is looking for true worshippers, not form and fashion. “If the Spirit falls on you” please, that’s the music and the charisma of the singer and preacher. Soon as some of you get a bad report, all the dancing go out the window, soon as your money dry up , where is the Spirit now? Your spouse cheats on, kids disrespect you, your whole life is a mess, God can’t pay you to dance. Going to church saying pray for me. Emotionalism has no power over Satan, dancing has no power over the dark things in this world. But a change mind. God wants your obedience not your emotional outburst. The land is sick because of all this foolishness in America. Same sex on a all time high, public schools teaching kids about pornography, the government is crooked. And you all talking David dance. And where did that get David, sadly since this event in David life, you see a slow downward decline of David. He numbers the people, which the Lord hated, he married multiple wives, which the Lord said not for the king to do. None of his children were raise godly, we know the story of Uriah and how his own son conspired against him, and the list goes on and on. David life did not end how it started. I am not going in on David, I am making a point, you don’t look to men on how God is to be worship unless they are perfect and upright. Look to Jesus, the Author and finisher of your faith. What if David would had built the temple without asking God. So is everyone that give God worship he never asked for. Start with seek you first his righteousness and trust me, that is move than a dance or praise. Holiness or Hell…you decide

Man I'm late for this but, Jesus didn't need to shout and be emotional because he was the one dying for people sins, if you can't get emotional..overjoyed, shouting to praise his name idk what to tell you. Do you realize what he went through so that we all might live. People tend to focus on him being nailed to the cross, but what about the emotional pain of taking on all our sins even though we are not worthy? That's reason enough to shout and praise his name!!

“And David “DANCED” before the Lord with all his might….” ~2 Samuel 6:14~ “Let them Praise the name of the Lord in the dance… ~Psalms 149:3~ Now, this is NOT DISCO DANCING OR SLOW DANCING WITH A PARTNER OR AS A COUPLE OR POLE DANCING! This is what the Jews did and still do, IT IS ALSO written in the Scripture, so you CANNOT SAY IT IS NOT BIBLICAL. Although it’s not a “MANDATORY” PRACTICE, you cannot condemn those who do it in holy praise.

Read Psalm 150 and you will learn to worship God by dancing!

I just l-o-v-e Voddie Baucham! In the OT it tells of how King David, among others, danced as he rejoiced! It never says he was in a church building dancing! Was David sinning because he danced as he felt great joy in his spirit?! NO! He was not sinning!

There are different types of dancing. "Busting a move" in dancing usually means "showing off" in dancing, which means bringing glory to the self, not Christ. The question is what is "wholesome dancing," or "wholesome moving' to Praise Music for the LORD????

The day that I got saved, God put me in a literal trance, and I couldn't stop doing a dance in the Spirit, and I was crying like a baby.The trance lasted for 2 straight days. I have been in a prophetic ministry for nearly 30 years. I am also an endtime watchman, called, appointed and anointed by God. Whoever says no dancing in the church, don't know God in the Spirit and are carnal.

Voddies suit is 🔥

In David's time there was no church. How could he dance in church?

I do not care for this when people are discussing the joy of the Lord trying to dissect it
