Don't Be That House (A Halloween Perspective)

Video Illustration

Produced by Freebridge Media

It’s Halloween again, the much debated yearly celebration. Some of us enjoy the day, while others would rather lock our doors and turn off the porch light. No matter your opinion, the fact is, more people will come to your door on October 31st than any other night of the year. What a great opportunity to be Christ to your community. Greet people, offer them something warm to drink, shake hands, offer a smile. But, whatever you do, don’t be THAT house. Keep your porch light on, welcome people and be a light to your community.

Scripture: Ephesians 5:8-9, Psalm 36:9, 2 Samuel 22:29, Matthew 5:14-16
