Walking with Jesus

Perhaps you’re not part of the growing minority? Perhaps you didn’t know that Halloween isn’t something followers of Jesus should associate with? Perhaps you didn’t know that... ...Jack-o-lanterns represent a wandering soul so evil that *atan wouldn’t let him into Hell? ...Halloween Costumes were originally worn to commit crimes without being recognized by demons? ...Trick-or-Treat was about buying protection from thugs who would kill your horse, rape your wife, or burn down your barn if you didn’t pay them? ...Dozens of children are sacrificed each year on Halloween by satanic cults in the a United States? ...The Bible specifically forbids God’s people from participating in the worship of the very demons who are celebrated on Halloween? ...The Founding Fathers of our country did not celebrate Halloween? ...Light and Dark should have nothing to do with each other? ...Halloween provides *atan with avenues of access into the souls of our children? ...Sometimes our kids NEED ...

As some of you may remember, Oct. 31st is a big deal in our home, but not because we think it’s a good (or even mildly okay!) celebration.

As believers, we are free to do whatever we want with this day, but WHY we do what we do is important to consider. Please read the following article and feel free to write Mrs. Gowen a note of thanks. You might also thank Olivia since she is the one who shared this post with me to begin with.

Hello friends; I was inspired by my amazing bride's blog to turn my own blog back on as a study break. She recently wrote about our daughter Natalie's 15th Angel Day . Hope you are doing well. I'll try to write again, but no promises. I'm studying hard for a Comprehensive Hebrew Exam, teaching at some Bible Schools, trying to find a full-time job, and loving my life with Olivia , Ahava , Ezekias , and Gracey . So, you'll pardon me if I don't write a lot or often for a while, won't you? Thanks! God bless. Bryan (or "Professor Brigham" as my students call me)
