 Controversy Erupts Over Explosion of Church, College Groups Gyrating to ‘The Harlem Shake’


A new dance craze that has become a fad around the world has now exploded among evangelical churches and Christian colleges nationwide, creating much controversy over whether Christians should be imitating the popular video.

The dance is called “The Harlem Shake,” and is part of a YouTube sensation that began last month and has resulted in over 100,000 replications. According to The Independent, the move actually originated years ago with a man named Albert Leopold Boyce, who would entertain the crowds during halftime at basketball games in the Harlem, New York area.

While the video has been imitated by the U.S. swim team, a frisbee team aboard an airplane, and even youth protesters in Egypt, now churches and Christian institutions are picking up on the craze.

Galatians 4:1 - Now what I mean is that as long as the inheritor (heir) is a child and underage, he does not differ from a slave, although he is the master of all the estate;

It is because the young people these days are fed with milk instead of meat.
When Hebrews 6:1-2 is not taken seriously by those responsible for bringing the saints to perfection for the work of the ministry, then obviously the young people are taken away by such worldly things.

How many people do we not hear dwelling constantly on matters of teachings about purifying, the laying on of hands, the resurrection from the dead, and eternal judgment and punishment.

We have to go beyond these foundational teachings and start teaching young people that they are indeed joint-heirs with Christ, and as the seed of Abraham they are the once who legally own this planet, and therefore should not be followers but influencers as kings and priests.

Once again Galatians 4:1 says it all.
