On Sabbath, February 24, 2024, Shiloh Adventist Church in Toronto held a praise and worship service led by the Shiloh Junior Praise Team. During the service, they danced and sang repeatedly, “Let us dance, Jesus dances” and “Dance, dance, let us dance, everybody.” The message is that because Jesus is dancing in heaven (and not making the final atonement to blot out our sins), we should all be dancing. If Jesus is dancing, then we should too.

Apparently, Jesus is not just the King of kings; He is now the King of dancing. Tribal dancing, hip-hop dancing, modern dance—it doesn’t matter. What matters is that you get up and dance. These are what you call entertainment churches, in which dancing is emphasized above everything else, including spiritual growth. The worship experience is theatrical, high-energy, loud, and emotional.
Mixing religion with entertainment can dilute the purity and sincerity of worship. When emphasis shifts towards providing entertaining experiences, there’s a risk of losing focus on the fundamental principles of the faith. Instead of fostering a relationship with God, it promotes a shallow and fictitious understanding of Him. This reduces the worship of a holy God to a mere pastime spectacle.
“Some have allowed their feelings to control their judgment, in meetings for worship, and have indulged in words and attitudes that have not been in harmony with the solemn worship of God. We have heard men shout and jump, and pound the desk, and use vain repetition, and this they thought was worship to God. But it was not according to the direction or will of God. All that is coarse in attitude or word makes the service of Christ a matter of ridicule, and brings confusion into the house and worship of God. True religion is not to be found in noise, in contortion of the body, which profiteth little, but it is made manifest in good works, and in the holy temper of the soul. Genuine sanctification will make a man calm and sensible. He will be humble, gentle, kind, forbearing, full of love,—this is the fruit of sanctification. Those who possess these graces of the spirit will alone be counted worthy of eternal life” (Signs of the Times, February 24, 1890).

God Punished the Original Shiloh in Israel for Its Abominations, He will Punish the Present Temple and Shiloh of Adventism for the Same Crimes and worse, for the Lord Changes Not!
But go ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I set my name at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel.
13 And now, because ye have done all these works, saith the LORD, and I spake unto you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not; and I called you, but ye answered not; 14 Therefore will I do unto this house, which is called by my name, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh. 15 And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim.
16 Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them,neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee.
Jeremiah 7
Will Not God Require a Strict Accounting of the Church Pastor, Parents and Members for the Abominations taking place in Seventh Day Adventist Churches Leading millions of Youth to Hell and Eternal, Yes Eternal Separation From God?
20 Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the north: where is the flock that was given thee, thy beautiful flock? 21 What wilt thou say when he shall punish thee? for thou hast taught them to be captains, and as chief over thee: shall not sorrows take thee, as a woman in travail?
22 ¶ And if thou say in thine heart, Wherefore come these things upon me? For the greatness of thine iniquity are thy skirts discovered, and thy heels made bare. 23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil. 24 Therefore will I scatter them as the stubble that passeth away by the wind of the wilderness. 25 This is thy lot, the portion of thy measures from me, saith the LORD; because thou hast forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.
26 Therefore will I discover thy skirts upon thy face, that thy shame may appear. 27 I have seen thine adulteries, and thy neighings, the lewdness of thy whoredom, and thine abominations on the hills in the fields. Woe unto thee, O Jerusalem! wilt thou not be made clean? when shall it once be?
Jeremiah 13
10 Thus saith the LORD unto this people, Thus have they loved to wander, they have not refrained their feet, therefore the LORD doth not accept them; he will now remember their iniquity, and visit their sins. 11 Then said the LORD unto me, Pray not for this people for their good. 12 When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and an oblation, I will not accept them: but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence.
13 ¶ Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, the prophets say unto them, Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place.14 Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart. 15 Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land; By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed. 16 And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and they shall have none to bury them, them, their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters: for I will pour their wickedness upon them.
Jeremiah 14
Living Below Our Privileges
We are far from being the people God would have us to be because we do not elevate the soul and refine the character in harmony
with the wonderful unfolding of God’s truth and His purposes.“Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people”
(Proverbs 14:34). Sin is a disorganizer. Wherever it is cherished—in the individual heart, in the household, in the church—there is disor-
der, strife, variance, enmity, envy, jealousy, because the enemy of man and of God has the controlling power over the mind. But let the
truth be loved and brought into the life, as well as advocated, and that man or woman will hate sin and will be a living representative
of Jesus Christ to the world.
The people claiming to believe the truth will not be condemned because they had not the light, but because they had great light and
did not bring their hearts to the test of God’s great moral standard of righteousness. The people who claim to believe the truth must
be elevated by living it out. Real Bible religion must leaven the life, refine and ennoble the character, making it more and more like
the divine model. Then will the home be vocal with prayer, with thanksgiving and praise to God. Angels will minister in the home
and accompany the worshiper to the house of prayer. Let the churches who claim to believe the truth, who are advocating the law of God, keep that law and depart from all iniquity.
Let the individual members of the church resist the temptations to practice evils and indulge in sin. Let the church commence the work
of purification before God by repentance, humiliation, deep heart searching, for we are in the antitypical day of atonement—solemn
hour fraught with eternal results.
Let those who teach the truth present it as it is in Jesus. Under the subduing, sanctifying, refining influence of the truth of God they
are as clean vessels. Let them be leavened with Bible religion, and what an influence would go forth from them to the world!
2SM 363
God never forsakes people or individuals until they forsake Him. Outward opposition will not cause the faith of God’s people, who
are keeping His commandments, to become dim. The neglect to bring purity and truth into practice will grieve the Spirit of God and
weaken them because God is not in their midst to bless. Internal corruption will bring the denunciations of God upon this people as
it did upon Jerusalem. Oh, let pleading voices, let earnest prayer be heard, that those who preach to others shall not themselves be
castaways. My brethren, we know not what is before us, and our only safety is in following the Light of the world. God will work
with us and for us if the sins which brought His wrath upon the old world, upon Sodom and Gomorrah and upon ancient Jerusalem, do
not become our crime.
The least transgression of God’s law brings guilt upon the transgressor, and without earnest repentance and forsaking of sin he will
surely become an apostate.. . . Let us as a people, as far as possible, cleanse the camp of moral defilement and aggravating sins. When
sin is making its march upon the people who claim to be elevating the moral standard of righteousness, how can we expect God to turn
His power in our behalf and save us as a people that did righteousness?
2SM 364
This Kind of Worship is preparing SDA’s and SDA Youth to receive the Mark of the Beast and to Worship Satan as though He was Christ Himself!
There is many a religion current that numbers its thousands and tens of thousands, but there is but one that bears the superscrip-
tion and the stamp of God. There is a religion of man and a religion of God. We must have our souls riveted to the eternal Rock. Every-
thing in God’s world, both men and doctrines and nature itself, is fulfilling God’s sure word of prophecy and accomplishing His grand
and closing work in this world’s history.
We are to be ready and waiting for the orders of God. Nations will be stirred to their very center. Support will be withdrawn from
those who proclaim God’s only standard of righteousness, the only sure test of character. And all who will not bow to the decree of
the national councils and obey the national laws to exalt the sabbath instituted by the man of sin, to the disregard of God’s holy day, will
feel, not the oppressive power of popery alone, but of the Protestant world, the image of the beast.
2SM 365
The Faithful Remnant Appear to fall but do not – Apostasy above will fall and fail in the Testing Time.
Satan will work his miracles to deceive; he will set up his power as supreme. The church may appear as about to fall, but it does
not fall. It remains, while the sinners in Zion will be sifted out—the chaff separated from the precious wheat. This is a terrible
ordeal, but nevertheless it must take place. None but those who have been overcoming by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their
testimony will be found with the loyal and true, without spot or stain of sin, without guile in their mouths. We must be divested of our
self-righteousness and arrayed in the righteousness of Christ.
2SM 365
We are to worship God in spirit and in truth John 4:23, not “our own way”.
Forget all that is wrong with it, it don’t even sound good!! It’s sounds awful!!
