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!

One of the most misunderstood phrases in Christendom might just be “the fear of the Lord.” Images come to mind of a stern and even angry God looming large and ominously over His people as thunder peals and lightning flashes in the backdrop. And when we introduce the word “piety,” there is usually even more confusion added into the mix. In simple terms, it really comes down to the awe, the respect, and even the depth of devotion we have to the Lord and to His Kingdom. And the Holy Spirit is the key to all of that!
