Should Christians participate in Halloween?
As a Christian, I do not think dressing up and wearing things that glorify death, murder, violence, the occult and the magical is a thing that glorifies God.
As a Marine who have seen death and gore in Iraq, I’m sometimes more shock at people wanting to glorify such gory violence and think it is neat.
However, I think someone knocks on your door, that’s a God-given opportunity to share the Gospel of Jesus–that we are sinners, that Jesus died for those sins of those who would trust in Jesus as LORD and SAVIOR, that this is by grace alone, through faith alone in Christ alone–whether they are Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mormons and people selling you something.
Thus, I believe Halloween is a great time to give out candies–and the Gospel by giving them gospel tracts.
This is a great opportunity to share the Gospel! This is a picture of what we are doing:
I don’t know how to explain it. But the photo is very _____ and Jimmy.
haha. Thanks. Also wished to be rather pseudo-anonymous on Veritas Domain!

It is good to counter Halloween with those gospel tracts, not just hand out candy.
This is a great idea, Jim!
I think so too! How are you handling everything???
By the Grace of God, my friend.
