Oh, look, the youth group has prepared a play and they're going to share it with the whole church. Seeing as we serve a creative God, no doubt these inspired and energetic teenagers are going to find fresh ways to communicate the hope of the gospel. Oh, wait. There's a couple of hooded figures in the corner. Never mind. They are going to show demons trapping Christians, AGAIN. Oh, but don't worry, in the end someone dressed in white is going to defeat the demons. This could be Jesus, an Angel, or Dumbledore. It's never really clear.
Is there no other way to show a Christian's struggle and hope in Jesus other than a Lifehouse song from six years ago and two pre-teens in old Halloween costumes?
I'm not saying that these plays are bad, but they are really overdone and cliché by now. Come on guys, we can do better than that.
One google find of many
