If you're like most people, you probably have a drawer
or two or three of old T-shirts.
You know, the ones from the run/walk you did back in 2009,
or the bar league volleyball T-shirt that you have with the clever name
from your buddy from college. Most T-shirts we don't wear,
we stick them in drawers. But I want to tell you today about
a T-shirt that I hope makes a big impact in a lot of ways.
Time of Grace is offering T-shirts that can
be yours if you request one through your donation.
A generous donor has offered to match, dollar for dollar, the first
$1,000 that we collect through these T-shirts.
And our hope is to spread the Gospel of God's timeless truth
to more and more people in the year to come.
We pray that your donation helps people understand Jesus,
his unconditional love and his crazy mercy.
And we pray that as you wear this T-shirt around, maybe someone asks,
"What's Time of Grace?"
And we don't want you to tell them just about a ministry
or website. We want you to tell them about the real reason,
the real roots of what we do:
God's grace,
the crazy love that just doesn't quit,
the joy that we have every morning because Jesus still cares,
he's still for us and he's not against us.
So we pray that we can give you some great fashion this summer.
Even more, we pray that you can give one more way for us to spread
God's amazing grace.
Halloween has become a huge deal in our nation.
It's an approximately a $7B business with approximately eight gazillion kids
going around offering ultimatums to their neighbors.
So, the question that I get is, "Is it okay for a Christian to participate in Halloween?"
So, permit a super-fast history lesson.
Halloween has its roots 2,000 years ago in the Celtic and Druid tradition of celebrating their new year.
Their new year was on November 1st and to do this, they would lite bonfires.
This is a Pagan religion.
Lite bonfires, wear animal costumes and masks, and animal sacrifices to their false gods.
Well, about 43 A.D., just about 10 years after Jesus,
the Romans come into that land of Ireland.
And you think, "Oh great! The Romans are Christian!"
Well, not exactly yet.
So now they just merge two Pagan holidays together
until about 900 when the Pope at the time
attempts to try and Christianize this holiday by moving All Saints Day from May into November 1st.
So, now we have this tradition of All Hallows Eve.
So, just by the question, "Is it okay to celebrate Halloween?"
I think we know intuitively there's something not quite right with Halloween.
So I think there's two sides to it.
On the one side we have cute trick-or-treaters in neighborhoods
getting together and bobbing for apples.
And I mean seriously, we spent $350M on pet costumes.
That's a true statement.
On the other side, though, there's a serious undercurrent of the occult, the demonic,
witches and this things that go back to these Pagan worship.
And the Bible doesn't just warn against this, the Bible says very clearly we don't want to have anything
to do with the demonic, with mediums, or anything.
The Bible says very clearly . . .
So, what do I do?
I've always let my own kids trick-or-treat.
And they can wear cute costumes,
and I let them get together with their neighborhood and I enjoy giving out candy to the neighborhood kids.
But as soon as that starts to tip in any way towards the mccobb, the demonic, the occult
we don't get near it.
Our battle, again, is not with flesh or blood.
Our battle is with the dark forces of this world.
And your spirituality, your relationship with God, is way more important.
In the end, why would we want to celebrate something so dark
when we can celebrate the life of Christ that is so beautiful?
