Many studies have been done among unwed mothers, searching for the things which caused them to involve themselves in sin. In some cases as high as seventy or eighty per cent of these women said it began with dancing. We all tend to say that this could never happen to us. But doubtless these mothers would have said the same thing. As noted above, any such unnecessary temptation certainly ought to be avoided.
Dancing calls upon one to violate four general principles of Christian conduct.
The documented results of dancing indicate that it often leads one to the other sinful practices. Christians committed to an acceptance of the authority of the Bible must acknowledge it as true. Let us recognize the modern dance for what it is and for what it can do to our lives. Having done this let us avoid it as a practice foreign to the way of Christianity.
