Pastor’s Column. Tomorrow is Halloween. The big question in the commercials is, “Who will you be?” In Ephesians 4, Paul tells us to put away our former way of life and put on the new self, created according to the likeness of God. How’s that for being someone!
Many people want to be a monster for Halloween, the scarier the better. There are commentators who think that the worst kind of monsters don’t take away life in an instant. They suck away our souls over time. What kind of monsters are these? A controlling parent. A nagging wife. An abusive husband. An insensitive boss. A gossip. A joyless pastor. A busybody. And the list goes on to include other relationships. Such people need to go to monster rehab instead of the Halloween Party. And we can all of us become such drains ourselves. It is very easy to put on our old ways of life. So, “Who will you be?” -DJ
