Halloween and Horror on the Rise

The number of witches in the US increased from 8,000 in 1990 to 340,000 in 2008, and exceeded 1.5 million in 2020. Halloween expenditures in the US have doubled since 2007, and the horror genre in the movie theater has almost tripled in marketshare in 10 years. There are three worldviews that collide in these films—the sovereignty of God, the sovereignty of man, and the sovereignty of evil. The fear of God, the fear of man, and the fear of evil. . . . Guess who loses in the movie theater? We proclaim the true Gospel. Christ really did crush the head of the serpent! Death took the death blow at the cross and by His resurrection! God will judge evil, and God is to be feared. And Christians do not celebrate Halloween, and the Day of the Dead.

Author, pastor, podcaster, husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin Swanson, enters the arena with the takeaway word for the day.  Strong.
