The Highway Forums General Discussion Open Forum Easter cantatas and plays

I agree when the music is filled with doctrinal truth it is acceptable, I looked at the lyrics to Handel's Messiah, and I believe that is scriptural and Christ exalting. My difficulty is when the church tries to play up the dialog of the Easter story dramatically. I suppose I should have been more specific about my complaint. If it is a musical score that the Cantata does, not for dramatic affects but filled with scripture truth, then I am fine with it, and it can be a blessed experience. I am speaking of the stuff that tries to play the emotions without much doctrinal truth in the presentation, and mild enough to entertain the lost.

Thanks
