Halloween is just around the corner

I’m pretty excited about Halloween this year. It’s not like the past 10 or so years where I had nothing to do but get annoyed by the whole thing. This year is different though. It’ll be an opportunity to share the Good News with people. In case you didn’t know I’m starting with YOU!

The truth about Halloween

A lot of Christians are all up in arms over Halloween. Why? Don’t you know that every day is Holy unto the Lord? Don’t you know that even Halloween is the day that the Lord has made? It is not an evil sinister witches holiday. No indeed it was created by the early Christian church. The term Halloween is the contracted form of Holy Evening which is the night before All Saints Day (November 1) when Christians are take time to remember our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ who have taken their seat before us.

I’ll say that again, Halloween is the Holy Evening. Stop fretting over it being a wiccan, pagan or satanic holiday. It’s not. It is 100% Christian. We’ve just temporarily loaned it out. As my pastor said the other day it is the only time of year when people are beating a path to your door to talk to you. Use it to witness. Either they’ll keep coming and you’ll keep sharing or they’ll think you’re the crazy nutcase in that creepy house and no one will come bug you anymore. Tell me that’s not the best of both worlds?

What are you doing for Halloween? Getting dressed up?
