Happy Halloween (or is it?)

What will you and your children do tonight, October 31, 2007. For much of the world, even Bangkok, Thailand, there will be Halloween parties and kids out trick-or-treating. For believers who are concerned about spiritual things, how should we respond? Whatever we decide, it should be based on a thoughtful desire to honor the Lord. Basing our decision on reasons like 'that's the way I grew up and I turned out alright' or 'it seems harmless enough' is not adequate.

For a thoughtful review relating to Halloween as well as an outline of various Christian response, check out what Southern Baptist speaker, author, and seminary president (he's also my former theology professor), Al Mohler, has to say about Halloween on his blog.
