Where do you stand on Halloween “practices?”
Viewpoint #1
It is absolutely evil to do anything that reflects Halloween. It began and remains a pagan holiday. Christians have no business carving a jack-o-lantern or putting up Halloween decorations of any kind.
Viewpoint # 2
Christians are free to do anything they want with respect to Halloween. Satan has no power over us—Jesus broke that power on the cross and at Easter. We can laugh at Satan, and so Halloween is just harmless fun.
What do you think of these two viewpoints? Where do you stand?
Is there room for more than these two opinions regarding Halloween? What might those be?
Look up Deuteronomy 18: 9—13. How might this passage help us when we think about Halloween?
What is God’s attitude towards witches and “fortune tellers”? See Isaiah 8: 19
What is the Devil Always trying to do to the Church? (2 Peter 5: 8—9 and 1 Timothy 4: 1).
Who will win the battle between good and evil? See 1 John 3:8 and Matthew 25: 41.
