Halloween, are you wary of this day?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Parents: Children who spend time with their favorite people are the happiest!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We, as parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles could take the focus off of ourselves and walk the neighborhood with the children in our care. Jesus loves and blesses our children!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. \u2014Psalm 127:3<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And they were bringing children to Him so that He might touch them, but the disciples rebuked them. But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and said to them, “Permit the children to come to Me; do not hinder them; for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. “Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all.” And He took them in His arms and began blessing them, laying His hands on them. \u2014Mark 10:13-16<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, \u201cWho is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?\u201d And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them and said, \u201cTruly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. \u2014Matthew 18:1-3<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you know the history of Halloween in the United States?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

What can you do to spread the word of God or to share the love of Christ with those ringing your doorbell for treats?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you know the Lord, please feel free to tell us if you took this opportunity to share the message of The Cross with all who came ‘knocking!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We would also like to know what your church is doing or has done to proclaim the Saviour as Lord. Send us your info ASAP!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Note: We at New Light do not agree with costumes that represent anything the Bible talks against such as the devil, demon, and witch costumes. There is no such thing, according to scripture, as a \u201cgood\u201d witch.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.<\/strong> \u2014Ephesians 6:12 NIV<\/p>\n\n\n\n
