Body Worship--The Latest Trend

Posted by Ingrid Schlueter @ http://www.sliceoflaodicea.com/

Not long ago my husband and I were at a Christian high school talent show when six teenage girls in tight low-riders and even tighter t-shirts came out on stage and began dancing to a song called, "When the Spirit Moves". Let's just say that all that was moving that night were three immodest and extremely carnal young women, cheered on by the males in the audience, comprised of fathers, brothers and other male peers. At the time, I didn't realize I was witnessing an evangelical trend because our church doesn't feature pole dancers and such for worship of the Lord.

We attend a stodgy sort of church where worship is comprised of Scripture, hymns, preaching of the Word and prayer. It isn't The Church of What's Happening Now. In the last few months, I have been introduced to something rather aptly called, "body worship". I have several video clips to show you what churches are doing to keep the youth. They're essentially letting the MTV-discipled inmates run the asylum. Let me tell you, it isn't pretty.

Oh, but Ingrid, these young people are SINCERE. At least they aren't out carjacking somebody or using meth or getting an STD. Donkeys are sincere when they bray but they shouldn't bray in church. This is not worship of Almighty God, this is sensual display of the flesh. But these young people wouldn't know that because hireling shepherds, in some cases not much older than the kids, don't teach them about the difference between flesh and spirit and they don't teach the verse that says those who are in the flesh, cannot please God. Here are the clips.
