We are called to influence the culture for the cause Jesus Christ. Yes, we are in the world, but we are not of the world. So why are some so willing to jump in on the halloween festivities? Can it be because some Christians don't want to feel left out, or they don't want it to seem that they don't know how to have fun? Maybe they don't want to seem as though they are too "strict and boring"?  <br /> I often wonder why churches celebrate the fall season with events like, trunk or treat or fall festivals.
