Tomorrow is Halloween and I can’t wait to get the kids dressed up and go trick or treating. Halloween is a holiday that I have always enjoyed. I went out trick or treating right up until I was 25. That’s right, till I was 25. The only difference is the kind of treats that people offer you. Instead of candy, I was often offered cigarettes, cigars, and alcohol. But it was still fun to dress up and have fun.
The one thing I don’t understand about this holiday, is all the controversy in the Christian circles. I have grown up in the church and have heard all the arguments about why Christians shouldn’t celebrate Halloween. But what I really don’t understand is why it’s not good to get dressed up and go door to door in the community. But it is okay for Christians to get dressed up and head to the church for a “Harvest Festival” or a “Reformation Service.” Whether you are out and about with your kids going door to door, or if you are at church participating in a Christian celebration, are you not still celebrating Halloween, just with a different name?

Nordic Rock is mined from ancient Swedish pollution-free base rock. It is the purest way of cooling your drink – literally ‘on the rocks’. Stone does not melt, which means no unclean water in your glass. They are also reusable making them very eco-friendly.
I am not a paper cup may look like the paper ones you get for take-away coffees. However, this clever cup is an eco-friendly and reusable cup with lid.Â
The cup is double-walled thermal porcelain with a silicone lid. It helps to retain the heat of your drink. It is also dishwasher safe.
3. Salt and Pepper Bolts
The Biegsie Sale and Pepper Shakers are the coolest salt and pepper shaker set around.Â
Bend it, shake it and look what happens. A bold hex bold head screw becomes a slat shaker whilst its countersunk flat-headed companion becomes a pepper shaker.
So you have a church you attend,there are a great group of people, a great pastor and great outreach. But do you have a website or does it convey any of what I just said? Chances are your church website in my lingo “is conveying nothing and the design looks like crap” problem is alot of church websites are following this trend. Churches think the next best way to get coverage for their church is have a website, problem is your church is doing more harm than good if it looks like it was designed in 1998. There are numerous church websites that I can show you to prove my point but for the sake of the churches I will not be pointing them out.
You may ask me “why is a church websites design and what it conveys so important?”

After Robert Powell hit the Florida Lottery jackpot last month and took home more than $6 million, he thought of his church. And he offered to drop his tithe, around $600,000, in the collection plate of First Baptist Orange Park. But the church and Pastor politely declined and told Powell they will not accept the lottery winnings.The pastor would not say exactly why the church refused the money, saying only he ‘didn’t want to talk about members’ gifts’. Question?
Does the church check to see where other tithes and offerings are coming from… you know… just to be safe?
Would your church accept the money?
