In advising on what to do on Halloween, The Good Housekeeping Book of Entertainment says: "Orange, black, and red, the devil's colors, are the colors associated with Halloween, and this scheme should be carried out as far as possible..."
Bible-believing Christians cringe and shudder at the thought of Satan worship and occultic practices. But how many of these same people will dress their children as witches, ghosts, skeletons, or devils and send them out to "trick-or-treat?" Do we really need haunted houses and costumes associated with the devil?
Can any Christian give any scriptural, or even logical reason for participation in, or approval of, that which is unmistakably associated with paganism, devil worship and witchcraft?
Some respond that it is only in fun one night each year. But since Halloween has its origins in satanic celebrations, I think it is best for Christians to avoid participating in anything that is associated with the occult. That's why we provide an alternative at our church each year. On Friday, October 30, children will have an opportunity to play games, receive candy and win toys and gift cards, all in a fun, safe environment.
