5 Things Every Christian Needs to Know About Halloween

Should Christians celebrate Halloween? In this video, Pastor Alex Meadows gives 5 biblical reasons why Christians should not participate in Halloween, the true origins of Halloween, and how to use October 31st to reach your neighbors with the gospel. Halloween is one of the oldest debates in the church. What's the harm in a costume, some candy, or trick-or-treating? But as a Christian, every decision has to be rooted in what the Bible says — not tradition, not culture, not opinion. If your opinion doesn't line up with God's Word, you're arguing with God. We trace Halloween from Samhain and the Druids to All Hallows' Eve to the modern American holiday, and answer the question many believers ask: if Easter and Christmas have pagan origins too, why is Halloween different? 0:00 Should Christians Celebrate Halloween? 0:51 Looking at Halloween Through Scripture 2:25 Can a Holiday’s Origins Be Redeemed? 4:20 The History of Halloween 7:20 Bible Verses About Light and Darkness 8:13 Reason 1: Halloween Is Rooted in Fear 11:33 Reason 2: Halloween, Wicca, and the Occult 15:46 Reason 3: Halloween Does Not Honor God 16:47 Reason 4: Halloween Magnifies Death and Darkness 18:35 Reason 5: Halloween Joins You with the World 20:38 What About Trunk-or-Treat and Fall Festivals? 21:26 Sharing the Gospel with Trick-or-Treaters 5 REASONS CHRISTIANS SHOULD NOT CELEBRATE HALLOWEEN 1.
