Halloween. It’s important that whatever your homeschool family chooses to do that you put safety first.
As Christian homeschoolers, I believe we have the opportunity to use Halloween as a tool to reach the lost. Please consider this Bible verse:
“But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive.” -Genesis 50:20
Can we turn this weapon of Satan against him and use it for the glory of our Lord? Cannot God take what the Evil One meant for harm and turn it into good? The Bible teaches us that through the redemptive power of Christ’s death, we have power over Satan’s tricks. I encourage homeschoolers everywhere to think of ways to reach the lost during the season of Halloween.
