Halloween 2006

Tomorrow is Halloween. I'm looking forward to it. I'm looking forward to Halloween because I think Halloween is one of the best nights of the year for loving your neighbors and finding creative ways to share the gospel. Just think, is there any other night of the year where your neighborhood comes alive with everyone walking the streets, saying "h"i to each other, and knocking on each other's doors?Halloween is a great holiday to redeem for the cause of Christ. This Tuesday night I'd encourage you to enter into conversation with and love your neighbors as you walk the neighborhood with your kids or as you receive the people that come to your door (I hope your house isn't "the" dark house where it's obvious that people are home, but that trick or treaters aren't wanted. As a little boy I grew scared of those dark homes and those neighbors. Those people made it clear that they didn't want to get to know and love the neighborhood).
