10.5: What You Need to Know About Celebrating Halloween

As a kid, growing up in the Bronx and Upstate  New York, I remember dressing up for Halloween. My mom was a talented  seamstress and made a lot of my costumes. Hence, I had a unique outfit  every year. I don’t remember ever having a store-bought outfit. As a prodigal, Halloween became a night to dress sexy and go out partying. Now, as a born-again Christian,  I can’t stand it. I know its demonic-based history and even the  decorations I see around my neighborhood creep me out. Living in  Arizona, so close to Mexico, the whole area is consumed with the Day of  the Dead (Dia de Los Muertos). Many people see these decorated skulls as art, but to me, it’s evil. Today when I was returning home, I noticed a neighbor with her  4-year-old girl admiring the Halloween decorations on a neighbor’s door  (pictured below). I immediately said hi and commented on the girl’s  pretty dress to take their gaze away from the door. At the bottom of this blog article, I’ve embedded a few videos on the  history of Halloween and even some testimonies of former devil  worshipers who are now born-again Christians. First, let’s see what the Bible has to say about delving with the devil.... Click on over to my blog to see some cool graphics and pictures and to watch the videos on the history of Halloween and the moving testimonies... If you want to reap all the benefits of salvation including the 1-way, non-stop ticket to Heaven then… Believe. Repent. Be Baptized. Receive the Holy Spirit.  Pray this prayer humbly and wholeheartedly… “Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I believe You died for my sins. Please forgive me. Right now, I turn from my sins and open the door of my heart and my life to you. I confess You as my personal Lord and Savior. I surrender my whole life to you and I will follow you for the rest of my life. Thank You, Jesus, for saving me. In Jesus' name, Amen.” Jesus is coming back soon! Are you ready?
