On the eve of celebrating or partaking in this day I pose
this question, as a Christian and given what is known about Halloween and its
origin, do you participate and if so, to what extent? Each person has to supply his or her answer. (see attached history
on Halloween).
Today's discussion isn't designed to be critical, just
reflecting on our participation in certain holidays as Christians. According to
the news spending for this day is second only to Christmas. What does this say for our society today?
When my children was young, I took them trick-or-treating
within my block on my street and when they grew beyond this activity I was
relieved. With the passing of time and as society grew progressively wicked and
I learned the history of Halloween my participation went from giving candy,
money to prayer for the safety of those who participate and asking God to
change the hearts of those who seek to do evil to others.
What puzzled me was why would anyone want to deliberately
harm a child who is innocently participating in an activity they consider fun.
I am very delighted that many churches are holding in house activities for
their young parishioners.
Join me in praying for the safety of our children who will be
participating and this nation as a whole. This
nation needs a healing (2 Chronicles 7:14).
Prayer changes things.
