Should Christians celebrate Halloween? Halloween falls on October 31st, the eve of All Saints Day, which is observed by some Christian churches. However, the modern celebration of Halloween is not generally thought of as a Christian time of worship. The day does have religious significance for some people, particularly wiccans and druids. For some people, Halloween or some of its elements may have a non-Christian religious meaning. For most children, however, there is no religious significance involved in either the day itself or in such elements as pumpkins or costumes.

Satan — God's defeated enemy  Many people are curious about the origin of Satan and the demons. Scripture is ambiguous or even silent about this. The Bible, particularly the New Testament, seems more interested in showing Satan as someone who continually attempts to overthrow God's purpose. However, Jesus destroyed the works of the devil (1 John 3:8; Hebrews 2:14) by defeating sin through his life, death and resurrection. Christ has already defeated Satan through his life, death and resurrection.

Paganism — where should Christians draw the line? Can we use pagan customs in the church of God? We need to recognize that we already do. Simply because something has a pagan origin does not mean that it is sinful to use it, even for a religious use. So the question arises, How careful must we be in weeding paganisms out of our lives? Where do we draw the line? The answer is, different Christians draw the line in different places.
