Five Suggestions
Here are some final action steps I would like to encourage in relation to Halloween:
- Recognize that Halloween is a spiritually dark holiday and that it shouldn't be taken lightly (Col. 1:13-14).
- Respond in prayer. Whether you reject playing any part in Halloween or you are discerning how to engage your neighbors, Halloween is a time to pray (Rom. 8:26-27)!
- Reflect with your children about the decisions you're making. If you choose not to let them go trick-or-treating, talk to them about the why. If you do let them go, use it as an opportunity to share how you came to that decision. Ask them what they think about Halloween (Rom. 12:2).
- Refrain from judgment. How God is leading you and your family may be different from how He's leading another family. This doesn't mean we shouldn't dialogue with each other. Having a spirit of edification and guarding against judgment is key (1 Cor. 10:23–33).
- Rely on the Holy Spirit to guide and protect you. God promises to give us wisdom, and we can trust Him to guide us. No matter your level of engagement in Halloween, we should put on the full armor of God (Eph. 6:10-20).
