The following important reminder is from Pastor David L. Brown, President of Logos Communication Consortium, logos@logosresourcepages.org --

There is no doubt about it! Halloween is a RELIGIOUS DAY but it definitely is NOT A CHRISTIAN DAY!!! Halloween is an occult unholy day. That should be obvious. Yet, many Christians join right in with the festivities. Owen Rachleff wrote in his book "Occult Conceit" -- "Halloween can be, and to many is, a deadly serious affair." And he's right! Its activities focus on fear, death, demons, evil and the occult. A former high priest in the Celtic tradition of Wicca (witchcraft) said, "Halloween is purely and absolutely evil, and there is nothing we ever have or will do that would make it acceptable to the Lord Jesus." He's right. Therefore, I have written a book called "The Dark Side of Halloween & The Bewitching of America" that exposes Halloween for what it is (the cost is $10 postpaid). We also have a pamphlet that has been widely circulated titled "The Dark Side of Halloween" that traces the "History, Heroes and Harm of Halloween" in a brief manner (15 cents each plus postage). I have produced a 58-minute video and a 86-minute video on the same topic ($25 plus postage).

I would urge you to reject the celebration of Halloween and substitute some Christ honoring alternative!

1 Corinthians 10:31 -- "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God."
Ephesians 5:11 -- "And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them."
1 Thessalonians 5:21 -- "Prove all things; hold fast that which is good."
