Satan

doesn't entertain -

 he indoctrinates.

Halloween is the Glorification of Darkness and Death.

Scriptures to consider

Warning from

1 John 2:15 NLT

Do not love this world

nor the things it offers you,

for when you love the world,

you do not have the love of the Father in you.

God tells us in Philippians 4:8

to think about

Pure and lovely things.

Finally, brethren, whatever things are

true,

whatever things are noble,

whatever things are just,

whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely,

whatever things are of good report,

if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate

on these things.

Philippians 4:8 NKJV

Please do not take your children

to movies that

have witches in them. 

God wants their thoughts on pure and godly things.

Don’t be surprised, dear brothers and sisters, 

if

the world hates you.

1 John 3:13 NLT

Jesus said...

If the world hates you,

remember that it hated me first.

The world would love you as one of its own

if

you belonged to it,

but you are no longer part of the world.

I chose you to come out of the world,

so it hates you.

John 15:18-19 NLT

Early Christians

avoided many popular activities.

We have a page that deals with the famous saying...

When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

It is about

the courage of the early Christians

to stand against

the wrong things the world was doing

even when

they were persecuted for it.

The early Christians did NOT do as the Romans did.

Instead,

they tried to obey God.

I invite you to check that page out.

How do Christians today

measure up

to those early Christians? 

Do we keep our convictions

in the face of

being laughed at, talked about unfairly, and ostracized?

And - - - Do we change our values as society changes its values? 

For example:

Do we turn away from entertainment that includes

witchcraft and other occult material

or

do we follow what the world does?

Do we judge a movie

by God’s standards

or

do we justify

witchcraft, nudity, and other immoral behavior

as acceptable?

Do we fear man or do we fear God? 

Do we sacrifice our fun because of our love for God?

Are we bold in our beliefs or have we become lukewarm?

In Revelation 3:8 -

Jesus blesses the Philadelphia Church

because they kept

his Word and did not deny his name.

Just to let you know...

I have repented for celebrating Halloween.

October 31

Question:

Why

would the devil

want you to celebrate Halloween?

Here are some of the

Answers...

To make an evil holiday look innocent.

To make evil things look FUN.

To lower our boundaries against evil.

To draw people toward the dark side.

To stir up interest in ungodly things.

Churches are becoming lukewarm.

This comical video

points out

the way

the church is headed

unless

we and our churches

become

dedicated to

reading God's Word and following God's Word.

Does this page inspire you to follow God more closely?

?

I hope so.
