Walking With God: Be Like Enoch

Image
  Walking With God in the Ordinary Moments “Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him” (Genesis 5:24, NKJV). Those simple words summarize a remarkable life. We are told very little about Enoch, but what we do know speaks volumes. Genesis 5:22 says that after the birth of his son, Methuselah, Enoch “walked with God three hundred years.” This was not a brief spiritual high or a season of temporary faithfulness—it was a consistent, daily relationship with God.

No, Christians should not celebrate halloween . But that does not mean they should hide either. If you lock the doors, turn off the lights, then hope no trick or treaters come by, shame on you.

Various candies come with tracts that you can pass out. You can also give them pencils with verses , cross erasers , etc. It does not have to be candy. And...you should be telling them about Jesus in some way. Buy little bags and put tracts in them with the goodies. Put a little note about coming to your church . You have the once a year opportunity for people to come to your door! What a witnessing moment! Use it! Allowing the devil to completely have the day is wrong. Why are YOU not taking it back?
