About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT HALLOWEEN?
I WROTE ABOUT THIS A LITTLE LATE LAST YEAR BUT I TRY TO WRITE SOMETHING ABOUT HALLOWEEN EVERY YEAR TO LET PEOPLE KNOW WHAT THE LORD THINKS ABOUT SOME OF THE THINGS ASSOCIATED WITH IT. I THOUGHT I WOULD GET A MESSAGE OUT EARLIER THIS YEAR TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE HISTORY TO SHOW HOW HALLOWEEN CAME TO BE. IT ORIGINATED WITH "THE CELTIC FESTIVAL OF SAMHAIN" WHERE THEY WOULD BUILD BONFIRES AND WEAR COSTUMES TO WARD OFF GHOSTS. IN THE EIGHTH CENTURY, THE POPE DESIGNATED NOVEMBER 1ST AS A TIME TO HONOR ALL SAINTS. SOON "ALL SAINTS DAY" BEGIN TO INCORPORATE SOME OF THE SAMHAIN TRADITIONS. THE EVENING BEFORE WAS KNOWN AS "ALL HALLOWS EVE".
THE POWER OF WORDS?
I WROTE IN THE PAST ABOUT THE POWER OF WORDS AND I DON'T MEAN THE "WORDS OF GOD", I MEAN THE IDLE WORDS WE SPEAK EVERY DAY. JESUS SAYS IN MATTHEW 12:36-37 "But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned." CONDEMNATION AND JUSTIFICATION COME FROM THE WORDS WE SPEAK SO WE REALLY NEED TO WATCH WHAT WE ARE SAYING ALL THE TIME. I WOULD MUCH RATHER BE JUSTIFIED BY SAYING SOMETHING GOOD ABOUT SOMEONE THAN CONDEMNED FOR SAYING SOMETHING I SHOULD NOT HAVE SAID.
WORDS ARE POWERFUL IN ANOTHER WAY TOO. LOOK WHAT JESUS SAID IN MARK...
