Countercultural Evangeliving

This whole week kids in public schools experienced saturation with

Halloween culture in classrooms. Even in Catholic schools teachers would greet
kids with Halloweek. Today, on October 31st millions of people, young and old
dress up to participate in a festival that is demonic. Young children are drawn in
with sweets and trick-o-treating; older folks have more concealed parties.
This tradition is cultural, and perpetuated by the anglo-saxon culture as it
originated from Celtic Druids Samhain feast. Irish and Scottish immigrants
introduced it to the North America, and since 1844 it has become a national
festival. Yet as English and American culture dominates global trends, it is
spreading over the globe, and as church tolerates, or even accepts it, the
dangers of spiritism go unnoticed. Back in the 9th century pope Gregory IV
moved the All Saints Day from May 13 to November 1 to accommodate this
popular trend.
Even within our church, the Seventh-day Adventist movement, with our
commitment to be faithful to the Bible, there are some families who either out of
ignorance, or conforming to the external pressure of the culture, permit their
children to participate in the fun activities, or even decorate their abodes for the
occasion. Leviticus 20:6 makes it very clear that practices derived from the
occult have no place among Gods people. God says that those who flirt
(stronger words is used in KJV) with spiritism, those who dabble in the occult,
will be cut off from Gods people, are rejected by God, and God will set His face
against such.
We live in the world that denies existence of personal evil, demons, devil,
and think that this is just a fun game. Yet it is contrary to the Bible, where
existence of personal satan and demons is revealed for us to be aware of.
Numerous warnings were given not to participate in occult. In the Law
Halloween is classified as abomination! (Deuteronomy 18:10-12) in the words
of Ellen White There are many who shrink with horror from the thought of
consulting spirit mediums, but who are attracted by more pleasing forms of
Spiritism. (Evangelism, p. 606) Beware!
The Christian mission has been always to overcome, to conquer the culture
of this world, the prince of this world, and in this way we are to be different,
peculiar. It is precisely on this day, October 31, that Martin Luther nailed his 95
thesis of protest to the Church doors in Wittenberg, Germany, protesting worldly
corruption of the church. We must remember our protestant heritage. God is
reforming his church in every generation, calling his faithful people to come out of
the culture, to step out of Babylon of spiritual confusion, not to conform, but to
be transformed. Set your mind on the Word of God. Read the book of Romans
with the family tonight, and reflect on the teachings that stirred Luther to preach
righteousness by faith 5000 years ago.
Every festival has a purpose to communicate certain values. Biblical festivals
communicated the Plan of Salvation, Sabbath communicates our faith in Creator and
our worship to the One Who Created. This is the First Angels message to worship
God on His terms. The Second Angel calls out to step out of the worldly cultural
ways. And the Third Angel calls not to participate, and warns that any participation
will be punished, rejected by God. (Revelation 14:6-12). The Three Angels Message
has been our Mission and the purpose for our existence as a movement. Train your
children to know Gods purpose, and not to be deceived by this world.

your servant, pastor Alex Golovenko
