Why we will never celebrate Halloween

Why will you never see our family celebrate Halloween?

Because we love God.

We have taken radical steps in an attempt to create a Christ-centered home and to live righteously. We are so thankful for God’s love and provision that no effort we make, to live to His glory, is too radical for us. Celebrating Halloween will be contradicting those efforts.

You see, God hates everything about Halloween.
How can I be so sure of this? Because, that’s what the Bible tells me…

Halloween is all about witches. This was God’s command regarding witches in Ex. 22:18
“Do not allow a sorceress to live.”

Halloween is all about vampires. This is how God feels about consuming blood in Lev. 7:27
“Anyone who eats blood must be cut off from their people.”

Halloween is all about ghosts. This is what God says about ghosts in Lev. 19:31
“Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will be defiled by them. I am the Lord your God.”

Deut. 18:10-13 puts it all in a nutshell:
“Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord; because of these same detestable practices the Lord your God will drive out those nations before you. You must be blameless before the Lord your God.”

Anton LaVey, the founder of the church of satan, made the following statement: “I am glad that Christian parents let their children worship the devil at least on night out of the year.”

So, if you say that you love God and that you are a born again child of God, why on earth would you want to celebrate everything He despises of and worship the devil?
It doesn’t make sense. It is rather absurd, won’t you agree?


That is why our family will never celebrate Halloween.

Trust in God's lovingkindness

Lovingkindness is a characteristic of God that we read about a lot in the Old Testament. But what exactly does it mean? According to biblestudytools.com, the original Hebrew word, translated as lovingkindness, means: “to bend or bow oneself” “to incline oneself” “to be gracious or merciful” This is who our God is. Think of the lovingkindness shown by Jesus during His walk on earth… How he bowed Himself down to wash the feet of His disciples. How He was inclined to heal the leper. How He showed gracious mercy by healing all who were sick or oppressed. (John 13:4-5, Mark 1:40-41 , Mat. 4:24) Whoever [is] wise will observe these [things], And they will understand the lovingkindness of the LORD. - Ps 107:43 NKJV Do not forget or believe otherwise. He loves us. He is kind towards us. He wants what is best for us. The enemy has been very busy convincing people otherwise since the beginning of time. When tempting Eve in the Garden of Eden, he made her doubt God’s good inte

Who are you?

As a born again, Spirit filled, child of God - you are His masterpiece. Long before you were even born, in fact, before the world was created, God chose you. He had a special job planned for you then, and has now re-created you with that special job in mind. (Eph. 1:4, Eph. 2:10, 2 Cor. 5:17, Rom. 7:4) You are now… Established in Christ This means you can stand firm in Christ. God will not allow you to be shaken. (Ps 55:22) Anointed You have been set apart and commissioned for God’s kingdom and empowered with the gifts of the Spirit. (Acts 1:8, 1 Cor. 12:7-11) Sealed The Almighty, most high God has bought you with his own blood. There is a seal of ownership on you. You are certified as His property. (1Pe 1:18-19) Given the Spirit The Holy Spirit is the guarantee of that ownership and also of the promises in God. (Eph 1:13, 1 Cor. 12:3) Does this mean that you are now more important than the rest of mankind? No, it doesn’t. Do you have t

Put God first

“God will open the floodgates of heaven for you. He will bless you abundantly. Blessings and prosperity are already yours. Just claim it, declare it, speak it and prepare to be amazed!” We all love to hear this message from preachers. Sure, it is Biblical. Jesus did say that whatever we ask for in prayer will be ours if we believe that we already have it. We are indeed told that God will open the floodgates of heaven for us. Jesus told us not be concerned about our daily needs because we have a Father in heaven who knows what we need. (Mark 11:24, Mal. 3:10, Matt. 6:31-32) But, this is not all that the Bible says. The problem with prosperity preaching, is that it shows people a distorted picture of who God is and where we stand in relationship with Him. The distorted picture looks like this: I have the right to be blessed and to live a prosperous, trouble free life because I believe in God. Therefore He must do and give whatever I ask for in prayer. God is the
