In my opinion I believe Halloween is an opportunity:
1) 300 little people are coming to our house - an opportunity to spread the light of Jesus Christ.
2) We encourage a positive experience - an opportunity to love rather than condemn.
3) I love giving away treats to beggars - an opportunity to be generous to neighbors and strangers.
4) Seeing my neighborhood come alive with so many people is electrifying - an opportunity to embrace life.
5) My grandkids love coming to our house for trick or treat night and help hand out goodies - an opportunity to teach.
6) Give the best treat bags with a life message or invitation to church - an opportunity to invite.
Hank Hanegraaff (the Bible Answer man) says:
"...Halloween represents not just satanic oppression but a strategic opportunity."
