Few things stir up as much controversy or elicit as many strongly held opinions in Christian circles this time of year as the question of how believers should handle Halloween. Today, we'll look at what the Bible has to say about the matter and discuss the need for extending grace to anyone who doesn't share our viewpoint.

- Titus 1:15 – “To the pure, all things are pure...”

- Romans 14:14 - “I am convinced and fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself....”

- Ephesians 5:11 – “Have no fellowship with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.”

- 1 Corinthians 10:20-21 – “… the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God....”

- Romans 13:12 – “... lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.”

- Matthew 5:14-16 – “...let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds & glorify your Father....”

- Romans 14:4-6 – “Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls....”

- Acts 17:22-23 - “...‘TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.’ What therefore you worship in ignorance, this I proclaim to you.”
