00:00Did you know the Bible never mentions Halloween by name?
00:03But does that mean Christians should celebrate it?
00:06In Deuteronomy 18, verses 10 to 12,
00:10God warns His people against witchcraft, divination, and attempts to contact the dead.
00:16In Galatians 5, verses 19 to 21,
00:20practices involving sorcery are listed among the works of the flesh.
00:23And in Ephesians 5, verse 11,
00:26Christians are told to have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness,
00:31but rather expose them.
00:33So does this mean every Halloween activity is sinful?
00:37Not necessarily.
00:38The Bible does not directly address modern Halloween celebrations.
00:42Christians should examine what they participate in,
00:45whether it honors God, and whether it conflicts with their faith.
00:49The real question isn't just about costumes, candy, or pumpkins.
00:53It's about the values and practices we choose to embrace.
00:58Remember, Romans 12, verse 2,
01:00calls believers not to conform to the world,
01:03but to be transformed by renewing their minds.
01:06So before celebrating Halloween,
01:09ask yourself,
01:10does this bring me closer to God,
01:12or pull me away from Him?
01:13Right.
