We are coming to that time of year again when churches gear up for Easter cantatas and plays. Does anyone else have a problem with this type of service or is it just me? I believe God's word is sufficient to reach the lost and that garnishing it with a play or cantata is unnecessary. This is one of those things people don't even think about since traditionally the churches have always done them. However, I do not see any biblical warrant for doing so and fail to see a purpose other than trying to draw the world into the church, entertainment with the hope that it will snag a lost soul. I'm not even sure I am comfortable with using this method as an evengelistic tool. It takes from the power of the word and puts the focus on man's ingenuity in producing a soul wrenching show. Why can't we be satisfied with what God instructed us to do? Why do we always think we can improve God's given instructions concerning His church? Guess for all the plays and cantatas, I can just say bah humbug!!!
