“ A Unique, Refreshing Perspective! ” Any Christian who gets weary of the same predictable rhetoric over and over every year from the pulpit about Halloween needs to listen to this informative and liberating, yet Christ-centered message just to relax! If we think about it, Halloween is actually a time that Christians could be using to mock Satan just as Elijah mocked the peoples' false gods. Any power Satan ever had, God gave him (as with Job) and further, this mere angel has been so devastated by Christ's death, bodily resurrection and the Holy Spirit's influence in the nations that the ghoulish green masks and scary stories (using discernment of course!) are something we can truly laugh at. Often time the well-intended fundamentalist sermons are every bit as frightening, ghoulish and sensational as any ordinary person celebrating the holiday participates in. I enjoyed your perspective of letting families decide for themselves, while maintaining convictions as head of your own family. My prayer is that more Christians would be able to, with Martin Luther, rise from their beds in the dark and say to Satan, "Oh, it's you," then fall back into a peaceful sleep promised to us in Proverbs. God bless you and your ministry as you communicate a love for God's Word with the liberty it gives us in Christ!
