Grooving 4 God




This is not satire. This is for real.

Grooving For God? Groovy.

First of all, fantastic theme and an equally fantastic bible verse to support it, nevermind that the verse quoted is incomplete. I’ll post the complete bible verse here.

And they shall teach My people the difference between the holy and the unholy, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean. Ezekiel 44:23

Why are they hiding their true agenda which involves letting people know the difference between holy and unholy, clean and unclean? By inviting Christians to indulge in secularism, it certainly gives them a taste of the world; Christians now will know through personal experience what it means like to be wallowing in unholiness and uncleanliness!

On a serious note, the gospel of Christ CANNOT be repackaged into a secular medium. You cannot reclaim any secular medium and use it for God, for God is holy and the secular world is in permanent enmity against Him. There is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY that you can reclaim for God worldly objects or beliefs dedicated for the worship of Satan. The fact that they used the phrase ‘reclaim street dance from the world’ shows that they are well aware of the filth associated with street dancing. I do not have to explain why street dancing is ungodly, they have admitted it point-blank! Can you 'reclaim' drug abuse for Christ and weave in the Gospel? After all, the Bible does not state explicitly that drug abuse is a sin. The sheer audacity of Christians to mock God and present filth before Him!

Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? 2 Corinthians 6:14-15

Can one purify an idol of an Egyptian god and assume that it is ‘reclaimed for God’? No, this clearly contradicts the Bible. If you attempt to ‘reclaim’ worldly objects and bring it into the church, the following results:

So I went in and saw, and there—every sort of creeping thing, abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed all around on the walls. And there stood before them seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel, and in their midst stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan. Each man had a censer in his hand, and a thick cloud of incense went up. Then He said to me, “Son of man, have you seen what the elders of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the room of his idols? For they say, ‘The LORD does not see us, the LORD has forsaken the land.’” Ezekiel 8:10-12

The elders were worshipping in the temple of God which was defiled by the presence of idols! Does the same not apply when Christians bring the world into the church and call it godly?

They dare claim that they can proclaim the Most Holy God through a secular medium like street dancing. Can we now proclaim Christ through radical mediums like Christian Erotic Pole Dancing? By the way ladies, are you interested in serving ministry by being a Hooker for Christ?

Christ fashioned a whip to drive the world out of the temple. Dare you defy Him by bringing it back in?

Repent, Christians.

not only is the world filled with sin. The Church of Jesus Christ is being filled with sin as well.

When will we, if we say we are the true disciples of Christ, turn our backs COMPLETELY from the world and stop bringing in any worldly and godly abominations into HIS church, and begin to do HIS work in Spirit?

Even the apostle Paul did not dare to proclaim Christ in worldly wisdom and speech but submitting to the power and demonstration of the Spirit.

I guess, the things or the word of God, however simple and true; are foolish to those who think its not great/powerful enough to reach out to the world.

My guess is they don't believe what HE said in Hebrews 4:12 that,

...the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

so, the gospel of Jesus Christ needs to be hyped-up, made-new, revamped or (i'll use this word since we're looking at pop culture) PIMPED in order that HIS message can enter people's heart.
