PASTOR CLAUDE STAUFFER Mary welcomes back Pastor Claude to talk about the seasonal occultic holiday we have all come to know as Halloween. Should we or shouldn’t we participate, that’s an old debate but really, there are solid answers because the Bible doesn’t leave us in the dark about anything for life and godliness – and shining a light on the dark is what we are called to do. With that in mind, Pastor Claude takes the analogy of the hot stove to describe how easily and subtly we can get burned by dabbling in the occult – and Halloween is just that. Is it just a silly and harmless day to celebrate the occult (more like a month now)? If it is, what does God’s Word say about that? Objections might look like this: “I had a great time on Halloween as a kid. It’s fun and harmless”. So let’s say that’s true, that you had fun. We want that for our kids, as long as it doesn’t hurt them. But equating this day with “harmless” isn’t sound thinking and here’s why: by teaching our precious kids that dabbling in the occult is harmless at a young age, we leave them open later in life to entertain the notion that astrology, altered states, necromancy, ouija boards and any New Age practices are also harmless. If I think like the devil, I’m thrilled that parents have dropped their guard to give place to dark arts. What a sobering thought. Lots to think about as we raise our kids and grands with a biblical worldview that should protect and guard their hearts above all.
