Halloween Sermon

Tweet

I heard, yet, another sermon today on the evils of Halloween. Once again, it portrayed anyone who celebrates the holiday as a lover of darkness and evil. It insinuated that only those who reject the holiday are true followers of Christ. I am sure he didn't mean it this way, but the preacher, tooted his own horn about his spirituality and willingness to always stand for what is right. There is nothing wrong with standing for what you believe, but in doing so, one should bring glory to Christ, not to self. The sermon made me kind of sad, because I used to be just like that. I am learning, to simply, follow what the Bible says and not add to it, my own interpretation as the standard. Celebrating Halloween is a personal choice. How one goes about that celebration is where evil comes in, and if you are not performing human sacrifice, worshiping satan, committing crime, etc. then all other falls under personal worldview.
