Halloween

I really liked this article. It made me think of where Halloween actually CAME from. It was interesting the customs the Celtics had in order to ward off evil spirits. I think a lot of the time, we don't think about the spiritual world, and I think we should think about it more. I mean there are deamons and things in the world today. Also, as Christians, we should take the opportunity of handing out candy to minister to kids who may not know God. But, as the writer said, we can't just give the people a tract, we need to explain it to them and show them how God has changed our lives. I do think it is okay to go trick-or-treating or hand out candy, but I don't think that we should go to Halloween parties where people wear provacative costumes, that is bad! I think it is okay to participate in some things of Halloween, but if we start to focus on that stuff more than God, it could be very bad. As the article said, we don't put as much emphasis on God in Halloween like we do Christmas or Easter, and we should instead, put a lot of emphasis on God and take Halloween as an opportunity to minister to others.
     Well, in conlusion, I think Halloween isn't to bad to participate in as long as you don't worship Satan or go to parties and wear nasty costumes and get drunk. I really enojyed this article and I learned a lot about where halloween came from that I didnt know. It was interesting to read about how scared the people were of the evil spirits, but we shouldbe careful because there are evil spirits here too, we just may not be aware of it.
