Well most people know October 31 as halloween, but those who know anything of church history know that this is the day that Martin Luther nailed the 95 thesis to a door starting the reformation. This is the day the protestant church started. It is called the protestant church because it was a protest against the catholic church. Martin Luther rediscovered the doctrine of justification by faith. Then devoted his life to preaching the Gospel. Well it has now been turned into a holiday where kids go from door to door asking for candy. Usually it would be my job as a christian to go to people and preach the Gospel, but this is the one reason I love halloween. People come to me. I pass out candy to the kids, but also every kid gets a Gospel tract. They love it. A lot of the kids this year were pulling out there million dollar bill tract as they walked away, looking at it with amazement. So if you've never done this before, be prepared next year. Get some candy and get some tracts and pray to God that many seeds would be planted. May He receive all the glory.
