• A better reason to observe Halloween

  While most of the world will observe Halloween with its ghosts, goblins and practices which have their roots in the pagan beliefs and practices of pre-Christian Europe, a few of us observe October 31 for another reason.

  It was on that day in 1517 — on All Hallow’s Eve (the evening before All Saint’s Day) — a German priest and monk nailed 95 theses or statements to the community bulletin board of the day, the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany.

• What does God require of me?

  What does God require of you and me – what does He expect of us? God tells us: He requires us “to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, to keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?”
