| Post subject: | Da Sheik: "Hell Houses" and Halloween Sermons |
| Well friends, the season is upon us. Churches all over will be holding hell houses and/or preaching against the evils of Halloween. Most churches opt to do a fall festival in lieu of Halloween or in my area the trunk or treat concept is popular.What do you do, and what are your thoughts on the subject? |

| We've done trunk or treat and big harvest festivals in the past, but per your excellent post on church growth, we experienced little lasting success from them. |

| I remember being a young child and being at revival with my evangelist father. I went Trick or Treating! I loved it.Nope, I didn't get demon-possessed. I didn't fall from faith. I didn't acquire a taste for blood and horror movies. I just got some candy. I ate it. I liked it. I trick or treated until I was 15.Yeah, I'm bad about that.Halloween was nothing more than simple fun for most of us...until someone came along and declared that we were glorifying Satan or some other foolishness.Nope. Not even close. Can a person accidentally worship God? No?Then why act like a person can accidentally worship Satan or what have you?If you don't want to do it, fine. I enjoyed it. I don't mind if my own son wants to be a part of it (no, I don't allow demon masks or what have you; I just go with Star Wars, etc.). |

| What about blood moons - would that be ok to dress your child like a blood moon?I'm putting four jack o lanterns on the front porch and cutting a big circle in each to represent the four blood moons. I figure since the eclipses are basically orange - the pumpkins colors will be perfect |

| I think I'll dress like Robert Tilden this year and use an offering plate instead of a candy bag. |
