And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp. And he said, It is not the voice of them that shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of them that cry for being overcome: but the noise of them that sing do I hear. And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount.
Exodus 32:17-19
"For the last 30 years Avondale College, a Seventh-day Adventist institution of higher learning, has hosted an annual “Barn Dance” on their campus. The Barn Dance event is described by Avondale College as a “night not to be missed” and as “the most anticipated event of the year.”
During the annual Barn Dance students from Avondale College play games and dance. The night ends with a concert by the Peter Dixon Band.
Everyone in leadership position in Australia knows about this and someone should have put a stop to this wild performance. Instead everyone just looked the other way. Where have the watchmen been for the last 30 years? Where are those who are on the Lord’s side and who will take a firm stand against some of these activities? And how can anyone permit this to continue for so long?"
““In April, 1900, a holiday was appointed at the Avondale school for Christian workers. The program for the day provided for a
meeting in the chapel in the morning, at which I and others addressed the students, calling their attention to what God had wrought in the building up of this school, and to their privilege and opportunities as students.....in the amusements carried on at the school that afternoon the enemy gained a victory, and teachers were weighed in the balances and found wanting. I was greatly distressed and burdened to think that those standing in responsible positions should open the door and, as it were, invite the enemy in; for this they did in permitting the exhibitions that took place. As teachers, they should have stood firm against giving place to the enemy in any such line. By what they permitted they marred their record and grieved the Spirit of God” (Counsels to Parents, Teachers and Students, p. 348 E.G.W.).
