Faith on the Dance Floor

It has come to my attention that my previous post entitled "Love on the Dance Floor" has offended many readers. They felt as if I had been talking directly about them in the post and I should have gone directly to them rather than make a post for the whole world to see. Others apparently feel that I have decided or implied that I will decide to disassociate myself from them because they are the kind of people I described in the above mentioned post as so called "brothers in Christ" who aren't really. That is, people who true Christians should avoid.

I am disappointed at this reaction because these things were never the point even though the title and one of the examples in the post along with the post's timing apparently seem to target a particular group of people. The post was not targeted at anyone in particular. My intention was not to condemn anyone, but rather to expose the seriousness of what's going on in the world so that we can examine ourselves and make sure that our faith is alive. I want to reach people.

I pray that everyone who read this post, offended or not, Christian or not, was convicted to follow Christ or to follow Him better. To those who identified with the false Christians I described: "...put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls"(James 1:21). I would much rather become united with you as a brother in Christ than never see or hear from you again!

No matter what is thought about my post, this fact remains: Christ died to save sinners such as ourselves and "...if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved" (Romans 10:9). So what are you waiting for? Give your life to God and have a true faith in Christ who died for you! Let us live in faith even on the dance floor!

If anyone would like a couple of passages to check out about repentance, forgiveness, faith and salvation, then have a look at these to start with: John 3:16-21, 2 Corinthians 7:5-12, James 2:14-26 and 1 John 1:5-10.
