Continue to Pray for the Peace of Israel 🇮🇱

Take advantage of these resources to help guide you in prayer and to keep you, your students, and your loved ones informed.

"Pray for peace in Jerusalem. May all who love this city prosper."

Psalm 122:6, NLT

Should Christians Celebrate Halloween?

"You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:14-16

Since the Bible doesn't address Halloween, many Christians liken the celebration to other moments where the Bible discusses witchcraft, sacrifice, and worldly behaviors. The Bible contains various teachings on how to behave or interact with the world's troubling celebrations. The following are resources for you to view and share.
