I actually have really good memories of Halloween, from the stash of candy, to the “perfect weather” for trick-or-treating, to the haunted houses we used to have in our basement for the whole neighborhood. My memories are more warm and innocent than they are dark and sinister. But obviously, I am very aware of the Halloween debate that is argued among Christians, and I have my own history with Halloween since I’ve been a born-again believer. One thing I do know for certain is that Jesus wouldn’t be scared of Halloween. So whether we participate in the holiday or not, we can be sure that not even the “gates of hell” shall prevail against the Kingdom of God!

In this broken and bruised world where hopelessness is easy to feel, it is critically important to draw from the right source of hope. So, of course, we turn to Scripture for the truth. There, we find that suffering is not supposed to be the cause of hopelessness, but rather can and should be the initiator of hope for all things. And to no surprise at all, we also discover that our hope is the work of the Trinity – Father, Son, and Holy Ghost all playing a part in giving us a hope that never disappoints.
