Jesus is the Reason for the Season

I hate Santa Claus. Every year when Christmas comes around, I can’t help but think that Santa is next to the devil. Before you flame me, please realize I’m not saying that Santa is bad, or that “Saint” Nicholas was not a good, godly man.

Carve your own Jesus Defeats Death pumpkin

Want to evangelize during “Halloween”? Need a Christian Pumpkin idea? Here’s how to carve your own Jesus Defeats Death pumpkin. I made this pumpkin in 2002 using the 3-shade method of pumpkin carving. You can actually do this with any picture by using a picture editor to convert your picture to 3-tone (white/gray/black). When you actually carve your pumpkin, you carve just the outer skin off for the gray areas, and carve all the way through to the inside of the pumpkin for the white areas.

Halloween, or Reformation Day?

I personally don’t celebrate Halloween. Since Jesus came to give us life and light (guidance) in this world, I can no longer in good conscience participate in a holiday that celebrates death and darkness (and every evil thing conceivable). Here in Detroit folks use it as an excuse for vandalism the night before Halloween, calling it ”Devil’s night”, despite the fact that the night belongs to (and exists because of) God. So on October 31, I encourage people to celebrate something better – I call it “Reformation Day.”
