This is the day when many children and teens will go out to tirck-or-treat. This is also the night when many people will go to places having large events like “Family Fun Night,” at Christ the Rock Community Church. Have fun tonight with what ever you are doing and remember to keep God first. Pray for those who are out tonight in dangerous neighborhoods.

Something else that may be done tonight are wigi boards and witchcraft. This SHOULD NOT be done at all as it is extremely dangerous. Never give the devil or any evil spirit a way to be released or to come into your life. These things should be avoided at all cost. Many of you think that you are playing games, but it is real and extremely dangerous.

May Jesus be with each of you today and throughout this weekend.

WAIT! before you leave please leave a comment and check out the post entitled , Christ the Rock.

1 Corinthians 15:22 reads in the Orthodox Study Bible, “for as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall be made alive.” We see here two groups: Jesus’ group and Adam’s group.
