The Spotlight

The spotlight is an important tool in theatre. The same principles that make a spotlight useful for dramatics apply to Christians.

· The spotlight is meant to let a light shine from the inside out. Christians are commanded to do the same (Matthew 5:16).

· A spotlight that does not shine is cold and dark; it does not fulfill the role its creator intended for it. Living a lifestyle empty of Christ is not what God intended for mankind (John 10:10).

· Spotlights are, by design, intended to draw attention to someone else. Christians ought to focus all praise and attention on Jesus (Galatians 6:14).

· Spotlights reach through the darkness, illuminating so that the audience may see. Christians should provide a voice of truth in a world full of lies (1 Peter 3:15).

· Neither color, size, shape, or strength matters, so long as the light given by the spotlight meets the needs at hand. Christians of all genders, ages, races, abilities and experiences have a place in serving God (1 Corinthians 12:4-6).

As a spotlight strives to reveal someone greater than itself, so we seek to use all forms of theatre to draw people to knowledge of, salvation through, and peace in Jesus Christ.
