I HATE HALLOWEEN

I hate Halloween with all of my heart. Why?

1. Because it glorifies death.
The Bible teaches that death is the enemy of mankind. I Corinthians 15:26

2. Because it honors Satan and demons.
God is not honored on Halloween. God is not even mentioned. Satan, witches and demons are honored. The Bible teaches that Satan and demons are the enemies of mankind. I Peter 5:8.

3. Because people sin on Halloween.
All Halloween celebrations glorify Satan because they come from paganism. Many people get drunk and take drugs. People dress in horrible, satanic costumes. All of this is sin. I Corinthians 10:20.

4. Because people need to be in a Bible-believing church every Sunday instead of fooling with the devil and sin on Halloween.
The party-attitude of Halloween characterizes America's godless, pagan society. People love to party rather than go to church. People love sin rather than God. America is about to be judged, just like the city of Sodom was judged. Luke 17:28-30.

5. Because God Himself hates Halloween.
God says, "I hate every false way." Psalm 119:104.

You need Jesus Christ to save you from the penalty of your sins.
"CHRIST JESUS CAME INTO THE WORLD TO SAVE SINNERS." I Timothy 1:15

Subject: [PastorMail] Prayer requests

I have been going through the ton of Pastor Mails that I have received while recovering from knee surgery. I ask some prayers be lifted up by my brothers in Christ.

1. My cousin who is in her late forties had a heart attack last week, please prayer for her, her name is Marcia

2. I ask that you pray for me for my knee. They have found degenerative bone disease and some other things within my knee during the scope. (I now have it in both knees)

3. Also please pray for me as I have set my foot down on not having a Halloween party. I told them that they could have a Fall Fest and only that. Several did not understand my convictions about having a Halloween party.

Thanks, God Bless
