How To Treat Halloween

Read: Hebrews 11:32-12:3

The memory of the righteous is blessed, but the name of the wicked will rot. —Proverbs 10:7

Bible In One Year: Jeremiah 22-23; Titus 1

---

The word Halloween comes from All Hallows Eve, which was the evening before a religious holiday in Medieval England that became known as All Saints' Day. It was a time set aside by the church to commemorate its saints.

Today's celebration of Halloween, however, is more closely related to pagan customs that originated in ancient Europe. The Druids believed that the spirits of the dead returned to their former haunts during the night of October 31, so they lit torches and set out food for these unwelcome visitors. They did this out of fear, thinking they would be harmed if they didn't.

The Bible warns against all dabbling in the occult and preoccupation with witches and ghosts. What then can Christians do? One enterprising pastor had a special gathering in which he asked some of the church people to come dressed in the costumes of Bible heroes and the great saints of church history. In a dramatic way they were calling to mind the sufficiency of God's grace in the lives of His people.

Yes, the example set by that great "cloud of witnesses" in Hebrews 12:1 encourages our faith. Remembering them on Halloween can remind us of the triumph of trusting the Lord. —Herb Vander Lugt

Faith of our fathers, living still
In spite of dungeon, fire, and sword—
O how our hearts beat high with joy
Whene'er we hear that glorious word! —Faber

The greatest gift anyone can give us is a godly example.

Another great read about a military mind who knew the country he was fighting for and the true freedom it sought.

"It is no accident that most would choose to associate themselves and the children they loved with the family they had so recently served. This simple but profound statement of shared names across racial lines says more about how both black and white saw their relationship in the antebellum south than I ever can. Family in the South extends far beyond race. In these things I speak only for myself and the people I have known, cared for, and loved in this region. It is my hope that we can and will continue to find a new tomorrow together."
