In the real world the deadliest evil doesn’t turn up with nocturnal cries of ‘Trick or treat!’ Instead, it tiptoes around unannounced in broad daylight.

Halloween is now the second largest festival in the British calendar.
It’s a big deal. Its a hustle getting bigger.
gotta ask!
But should our children and young people, families we work among engage ?

Well First, Halloween deceives us about evil. It creates a cartoon version of evil presenting wickedness and rotten behavior as just harmless fun. We should  be seeing this as a threat. 

Yet all evil is serious ,it affects life, messing with supernatural evil is particularly unwise, 

The saying goes ;- fool around with evil is a fool’s game-;

Second, Halloween distracts us about evil. 

In the real world the deadliest evil doesn’t turn up with 

nocturnal cries of ‘Trick or treat!’, Instead,

It Tiptoes around unannounced in broad daylight. But also the unjust behavior, stinking bullying ,hurtful stuff we say,not caring for others,

Adding to own riches at expenses of the poor.

In the real world the deadliest evil doesn’t turn up with nocturnal cries of ‘Trick or treat!’ Instead, it tiptoes around unannounced in broad daylight.

 BUT, yes it presents daily.

HEARD ABOUT FRIEND WHO HAS DIED SO YOUNG, THIS VERSE CAME TO MYSELF via ANOTHER AS I PONDERED

Hebrews 11:39-40

"These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised, since God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect."

Sure is true that we don`t always get what we are promised, just a little like some of what we are promised.

A little Lord, please?
