BOOK 4 – 100
Halloween Celebrations
Now that Halloween is upon us, children will dress up and go through the neighborhood seeking candy and other goodies as a reward for not playing “tricks.” There will be fairy princesses, cartoon characters, monsters, and devils, demons, and witches.
What are we teaching our children? Should we dress up as witches and goblins and celebrate the evil side for one night each year? At what point does it please our Lord for us to glamorize monsters, demons, devils, or witches? At what point should we teach our children that witches are good?
Here is the first advice that God gives us about witches …. Not advice, but instruction.
“You must not allow a sorceress to live. Exodus 22:18 (HCSB)
Do we suppose there might be a reason for this? Evil is not something to be sought after. We are told to flee FROM temptation, not to run TO it.
God wanted His people to be aware of the evil that they would encounter as they entered the Promised Land. And He warned them to AVOID these. Here is God’s instruction from Deuteronomy.
No one among you is to make his son or daughter pass through the fire, practice divination, tell fortunes, interpret omens, practice sorcery, cast spells, consult a medium or a familiar spirit, or inquire of the dead. Everyone who does these things is detestable to the LORD, and the LORD your God is driving out the nations before you because of these detestable things. Deuteronomy 18:10-12 (HCSB)
Dressing up as a fairy princess is certainly not in the same category. We need to be selective in the things that we teach our children. Please don’t open the door for goblins and demons to enter into your home …. Or to enter into your children. Halloween is NOT a Christian holiday; it celebrates a far darker world than God plans for us.
It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea than for him to cause one of these little ones to stumble. Luke 17:2 (HCSB)
