With Halloween upon us, many Christians may be wondering whether or not they should partake, or whether or not they should let their kids "trick or treat"...
The answer to any true believer should be obvious, but for those unsure, maybe this can help to shed some light on the matter.
Halloween, which originates from the pagan holiday "Samhain", has absolutely nothing to do with Christianity. You could even say that Halloween is on the opposite side of the spectrum...
We are told not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers, we are told to be seperate from the rest of the world...
"For what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness?"...
Or, "what concord hath Christ with Belial?"...
Told not to partake in the unclean things of unbelievers, lest a seed of doubt be planted within us...
As followers of Christ, loving the world and the things within in it, will only lead you astray from the teachings of Christ. From righteousness, and holiness...
Our world oftentimes glamorizes the wicked, unclean things, it often seems to make them fun and pleasing to our flesh...
But often times, that which is pleasing to our flesh, is frowned upon by our Heavenly Father...
Satisfying our desires will only lead you down the broad path leading to utter destruction.
Which is why as Christians, we must be seperate from these things... from the things promoted by our fallen world..and to the parents out there, try to instill in your children the truth regarding the matter, try to get them to realize the darkness of the world, and the consequences for being a partaker.
Halloween is just a pagan festival at its roots, you don't even necessarily need "eyes to see", to understand how dark and demonic Halloween is... it's really quite obvious.
But it's also a great opportunity as a Christian. Not to often do unbelievers knock at your door expecting a gift. It's a perfect opportunity to spread the gospel, to spread the truth.
If anybody has gospel tracts, or even printed our pieces of scripture, you could hand this out instead of junk food...
Or if you do decide to hand out treats, include a gospel tract, or include some scripture... of if you can afford it, buy a bunch of bibles to pass out to include with your treats.
You never know who is willing to receive the gospel, and who you may save by one simple gesture...
God bless you all.
