Halloween is here and for those who believe in Ghosts haunting the earth; 
that belief will only become more intense.  
 
But such ought not be the case. Halloween is just another holiday day where people
dress in costumes and give candy.   However, man needs guidance, something to
show him direction and shine light on the issues which confront.  
So that is where the Bible comes in. 
 
People can better themselves by having faith in the word. Heb 11:6. Psa 19:8-10.
Mk 9:21-23.  Psa 119:105.  The scriptures are God’s speech and He teaches that
the dead don’t spook the living. 2 Tim 3:14-17. Eccl 9:4-6:10. Job 7:1-10. Job 10:18-22 .
Psa 103:13-16. 2 Sam 12:22-23.     At death the spirit of man is removed from earth and
taken to Hades to await Judgement. Jas 2:26. Heb 9:27. Psa 90:10. Lk 24:5. Lk 22:42-43.  
Acts 2:29-32.  Lk 16:19-31.      
 
Ignorance of what the Bible teaches leads many to believe things and a highly creative imagination
has cause many to think they hear and see things.  Acts 17:22-27.   But if one believes the word of
the Lord, he will be secure.  Pro 1:29-33.   Psa 34:10. 1 Pt 2:2-6.     
  

Ones word is his bond; so do you complete what you say?  Or do you tell lies?    Some people lie all day long and they are so good at it, they can smile and cough at the same time. Pro 14:5.  Let us not be champion liars, but people who  only speak if able to deliver what is promised.  Pro 30:8. 


    Everything that comes out of ones mouth will fall on the ears of someone who will be relying upon what has been spoken.  And just that fact alone should make every one determined to make good on what is spoken.   If you don’t mean it, don’t say it and you won’t get in trouble for it.  Eccl 5:1-5.  
There is just too much of this nonsense going on and too many ruined people walking around because of it.    Pro 29:12.  Zech 10:2.  Ez 13:22.  Jer 29:31.  
Jer 23:32.  
​

Evil is active because the heart of man desires it.  Jas 1:14-15. Matt 15:18-20.
Murders, robbery, bribes, and bad conduct exist in schools because those who commit
such acts see it as the solution.   Gen 6:5. Gen 13:13.   2 Tim 3:13.   
People everywhere are talking about how terrible crime is and how unruly young people are.  
But evil cannot exist when each person decides to do what is right 
and that is how evil can be is eliminated. Jonah 3:4-10.   To put a dent in evil, 
men must repent by accepting the gospel of Jesus Christ. Luke 13:3. Rom 6:17-18. 
1 Cor 15:1-2.    But here lies the problem; people refuse to accept the gospel and 
it is the only hope for man.  Tit 2:11-14. 1 Cor 6:9-11   Rom 10:13-21.  Rom 1:16.
However, this must be considered first.   1. One must get himself right, for man cannot
change others, if he isn’t right himself.  2. Realize that some will not obey the gospel
​but will continue to contribute to the woes of the world.
3. The gospel still must be taught to all with the hope of converting some.  
4. The young children growing up must be taught the gospel, so they don’t 
become tomorrow thugs.  The application of this will put a dent in evil.       
 

 
  Many cannot listen to the word of the Lord when preached in its purity. 
The reason is; man doesn’t like being corrected on how he might be living.  
Man thinks the message of the scripture is supposed to please him. 
But that isn’t going to be the case; because God doesn’t think as man. 
God thoughts are higher than heaven above the earth.  Isa 55:8-9.  
The scriptures teach what God wants, not what man wants.      
 
It is amazing that people will walk out of a church complaining about what
was said in the sermon.    Let me ask this.   Did the preacher teach what was in the bible? 
 Can you open your bible at home and see what he said?   Do you think that the word of the
Lord isn’t to step on toes?   Are you perfect?     If you are, then you are God.  Will you admit to being God? 
 If not, you must submit yourself  bible admonishment.  The word of the Lord is correction, not a praise
of men speech. The word of the Lord are the words which convict men of sin and causes them to change
​so they can be saved.  Heb 4:12.  Jer 23:29. Jer 5:14.  2 Tim 4:1-4.
