MFS-036: Halloween

Join Matt and Fiona as they sit down to discuss Halloween.  We have noticed that often times Christians are confused as to how to deal with this holiday or talk to their kids about halloween and why it is a holiday that we should not celebrate.  The scriptures are very clear about the distinction between light and darkness, good and evil.  Being that Halloween is a day that is dedicated to evil and celebrates darkness and fear, no matter how cute or innocent it may appear, we should have no part in it.  We are not to be conformed to this world and as parents, our role is to protect our kids from all forms of evil. Below we have included some scriptures that we will be discussing with our kids so that they know exactly why we do not celebrate Halloween. Today, just like every other day, we chose to serve our God!

➡ “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” - I John 2:15

➡ “If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.” 
I John 1:6 

 ➡“Abstain from every form of evil.” I Thessalonians 5:22

 ➡“But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;” I Peter 2:9 NKJV

➡ “Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. He who does good is of God, but he who does evil has not seen God.” III John 1:11 

➡ “Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”” John 8:12

➡ “For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light.”
Ephesians 5:8-9, 11-13

➡ “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” Romans 12:2 NKJV

➡ “If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.” John 15:19 NKJV
