Pastor’s Notes – October 27, 2023

Halloween is Occult, It Should Be Avoided.

“Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.”
 – Psalm 141:4 –

 

No Christian should be involved in Halloween in any way.  Halloween is not innocent, it is demonic.  Halloween is a celebration of the occult.

A lot of people try and dress up Halloween in Christianity.  That is compromising with evil.  There is no such thing as Christian occultism, just like there is no such thing as Christian heroin.

Anton LaVey, the founder of the Church of Satan said: “I am glad that Christian parents let their children worship the devil at least one night out of the year.  Welcome to Halloween.”

Don’t fall into this trap.  Just stay away from evil as much as you can.  Do things that would please Jesus, not the things that please Satan.

Pastor’s Notes – How Did This Happen?

 

“…the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment…”
– Isaiah 59:15 –

 

I’ve often wondered how the German people could have let the Nazis (National Socialist Party) rise to power in all of their hate and godlessness.  If we consult the word of God we will always find the answer.  The answer is that there was no one that stood up for God’s truth.  Take a look around, we are seeing right before our eyes how it happened; how evil rises.

Isaiah 59:13-16 KJV: “In transgressing and lying against the LORD, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood. And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment. And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor:”

Those that are not buying into the current evil are preyed upon by the evil doers.  It takes great courage to stand up to these evil doers, but if we don’t, we’ve seen through history what can and does happen to the just. 

We MUST stand (2 Corinthians 1:24 KJV “…for by faith ye stand,”) with the Lord against evil of all kinds, including Socialism, which is built on atheism.  It displeases God when no one calls out or judges evil, and it displeases Him when no one and stands for God’s truth.
