Synopsis

This book, written by a devout author, delves into the contentious topic of dancing as a form of entertainment. The author, drawing upon religious texts and historical accounts, presents a detailed examination of dancing practices throughout history and explores the various objections raised against its participation by the religious community. Through a rigorous analysis of scripture and a deep understanding of religious principles, the author provides a compelling argument against dancing as a suitable activity for those seeking to lead a pious life. This book serves as a valuable resource for individuals seeking guidance on the topic of dancing within a religious context and offers a profound perspective on the significance of maintaining spiritual integrity in the face of worldly temptations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Rom. xii. 2. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and perfect will of God. In the preceding verse the Apostle beseeches Christians, by the mercies of God, to present their bodies, a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto God, which, he says, is their reasonable service. He would have them regard themselves as consecrated to the service of God, as completely and exclusively, as was the sacrifice on the Jewish altar. That they might do this, he urges them not to be conformed to this world, but to be transformed, their minds being renewed, that they might understand and obey the good, perfect and acceptable will of God. That we may properly understand and apply the passage before us, we may remark 1T hat in the Scriptures the Church of Christ and the world are constantly represented as standing in opposition to each other. The world, said our Savior, cannot hate you ;but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil. Love not the world, says John the apostle, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever. I need not attempt to adduce further proof, that conformity to the world is inconsistent with piety, and will inevitably ruin the soul.
