      The fact that God has to take the initiative to reveal Himself to us chafes against the rebellious heart of man. We don’t want to submit to the ways of God and His revelation of Himself. People often try to create a god convenient to their desires:

      What a beautiful scripture above – this is a solid motivation to meditate on God’s Word. Yet, believe it or not, there are some Christians who deem this Scripture to be an ‘arrogant’ or ‘self-righteous’ declaration. I am so grateful that I’ve had str

      I love standing on a bridge, staring into the fast-moving waters of a river, on their way to the sea from their source in distant hills. The length of a river is like the span of a human life. Some lives are long, but others, sadly, can be much short

      A DISCOURSE

      ON

      THE EVILS OF DANCING

      DELIVERED MARCH 8, 1846

      BEFORE THE CONGREGATION

      OF

      THE GERMAN REFORMED SALEM CHURCH

      OF

      HARRISBURG, PA.

      By the Pastor, the Rev. John F. Mesick

      PUBLISHED BY THE VESTRY

      HARRISBURG

      THEO: FENN, PRINTER

      1846

      Harrisburg, March 11, A. D. 1846.

      Rev. John F. Mesick—Dear Sir: On last Sabbath evening, 8th inst., you preached a sermon to our congregation on "The Evils of Dancing." As this is a custom which is in much practise even by those who consider themselves patterns in society, and, who generally comprise the youth, and say that it is an innocent amusement. We would esteem it as a favor if you would furnish us with a copy thereof for publication that it may be circulated in our Sabbath Schools, among the votaries of dancing, the parents and friends of those who have been assenting to it, in the hope that they may read it and learn its evil consequences, and abstain from its practice hereafter, and be satisfied that its use is not in character with the present age, whatever may have seemingly commended it in former days.

      Harrisburg, March 11, 1846.

      To the Vestry of the German Reformed Salem Church:

        Dear Brethren: Although the Discourse preached on Sabbath evening last, was prepared during the preceding week as a regular duty, without a thought in reference to a request of this kind; yet as you have been pleased to express a wish to see it in print, in the hope of extending its usefulness, the manuscript is at your service. With sincere esteem and affection, yours, &c.,

      JOHN F. MESICK.

      THE EVILS OF DANCING.

      ROMANS, XII. 3.—BE NOT CONFORMED TO THIS WORLD.

      The Bible is the only rule for all who wish to be saved. The professed Christian, not only, but every unconverted man, must bow to its precepts, if he would gain the favor of God. There is but one way, and but one gate of entrance into the Kingdom of Heaven, for saint and for sinner. Whatever, therefore, shall be acknowledged to be the duty of the covenanted follower of the Lamb, is equally the duty of every individual who stands disconnected
