A Probe Ministries Mom Looks at Halloween
Probe's Sue Bohlin provides perspective on how Christian parents can deal with Halloween in ways that honors God without violating scriptural principles.
A number of articles are available advising Christians to have nothing to do with Halloween. And I do agree that Christians have no business celebrating a holiday that glorifies something that delights the enemy of our souls. And potentially opens us up to demonic harrassment, to boot!

3. The Rescue Operation
By this time, Naomi is ready to secure Ruth’s future in Bethlehem by finding her a husband. Due to the Old Testament levirate law, there was a provision for someone in Ruth’s circumstances. Naomi comes up with a plan and instructs Ruth on how to carry it out. The story takes another twist when Ruth surprisingly improvises on Naomi’s approach. Her desire was not only to have a husband, but to also save the family lineage of her beloved Naomi.
