A Poem I wrote- Oct 31st... Child's Play??

[turtletwo]

Where's the atmosphere of fear
On this unholy 'holiday'?
While the church turns a blind eye
And pretends it's child's play?

Satan and his minions laugh
At the flippancy expressed,
As the church believes a lie
And his schemes go unaddressed.

Who's the mastermind behind
This dark time of Hell-oween,
When it's in the name of 'fun'
So much wickedness is seen?

The grotesque and the bizzare
Get exalted every year;
Yet the cuter costumes counter
And distract away from fear.

The author of confusion
Does that thing he does so well;
For when he appears angelic
The mixed messages prevail.

Is the candy so inviting?
Is the 'innocence' so sweet?
Can we do it for God's glory?
(What the world calls 'Trick or Treat")

The occult becomes so active.
It's a time to watch and pray;
But the 'ostrich head is in the sand'
Within the church this day.

May the ones whose eyes are opened
Do their best to stand above
All the compromised excuses.
May we "speak the truth in love."

Like Angels4u, I take my stand.

(Angels shared helpful info on page 11 in the topic: "What opinions upon Halloween?" I'd recommend reading it.)

If we don't stand for evil now, while we still have freedom...what will we do later when we don't?
 
I love you guys...

but I firmly believe in being a God pleaser, rather than a man pleaser.

"For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God?" Galatians 1:10
"not by way of eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart." Ephesians 6:6

"whatever you do, do all to the glory of God." 1 Corinthians 10:31 
My policy in life is: If I can't do it for God's glory...I just don't do it.

Sister @turtletwo, I'm so blessed by this poem!  I wish I could give it many thumbs up... "praise the Lord!"  ... "thumbs up" .... "loved it!" .... "brilliant" .... "thanks"  .... "this is worthy!"  May I share this with a friend? 

And now a reminder for us all.    Paul had told timothy how to guide the church .  He had wrote him two letters .    Explaining to not be partakers of others mens sins

but rather to exppose them .    And years after paul had been executed ,  and timothy had grown in maturity ,   on a certain day

in his latter years ol timothy , faithful to the call ,  HAD DONE JUST THAT .     He was not going to be partaker of other mens sins , HE chose to expose and rebuke it .

YES ,  timothy had learned well by the SPIRIT and pauls reminders .     And as men and women were going about honoring a pagan festival ,  Timothy did not

dress up like them .   HE rebuked them ,      AND THEY KILLED HIM FOR IT .  HE WENT OUT FAITHFUL , YET TODAY churches celebarate HALLOWEEN .  EVERY MAN WOMAN

and Child , SHOULD CRY right now .    CRY .     cause timothy DIED doing what was right , YET TODAY many celebrate an upmost evil Halloween .      I HOPE this sinks in so deep

foks lay  in the prone and plead forgivness and have a good long cry .     TIMOTHY DIED rebuking evil and yet most today christanize evil .    THIS IS SO WRONG and EVIL .

Hi Turtletwo

Love your poem! I should send it to my daughter. It would only infuriate her. Shes heard it all before but doesnt listen. I hate helloween. Satans glory and God is angry his children are so blind.

Ill tell you a story. Earlier this week a new friend here in the bible belt(I am new to this area, this culture) came over to fellowship and share a meal. When she was leaving she mentioned handing out candy on helliween. She was contemplating what costume she would wear. She bought a bunch of candy weeks ago.I could have said something but I didnt.Quite frankly I was shocked! How can she be so blind?

She teaches sunday school attends church regularly . We have already gone at it over billy grahams dual salvific message. She is in a bubble. All the people here in billy graham land are. It is just another thing that separates us though.Maybe by next yrs helloween I will have known ger long enough for her to lustento me. Maybe by next yr she will see. Ill just keep praying. People that hear it and dont change won't hear until God deals with their hearts. He is the one who sanctifies. 

I will not have my porch light on on satans day. I dont recognize helloween. Plaster a churchy name on it and call it a day. Ie sprinkle a little Jesus in and surely its christian?!.

I know what you mean. Thanks for sharing your interesting (albeit sad) story about this new friend and also the Billy Graham thing.

Isn't it amazing, people, how the world just "joins in" without even questioning this vile practice?  And "Christians" too!  It is so wicked.  I can't understand why any church would condone joining in with this; it is so blatantly of the occult!  Our supermarkets, cheap novelty stores etc. all have stuff for sale.  It sickens me.  We have put signs outside our house stating that we do not participate.

Good on you turtletwo.  This is a really good poem!  I really like your poems very much

I remember being in 7th grade...Baptist church in Illinois...it was my idea even---smh--we built a haunted house right down in the basement-I know, I was just a kid..and the adults should have known better- I've prayed many times about it and I know God has forgiven me for starting that there...
