Heading Into Hell! The Effect of Halloween in Derry
Ok I was looking in the custom shop today in the Richmond centre some of the outfits I seen for Ladies to wear looked trashy. For the other 49 Weeks of the year you would have to go to Ann Summers or another Sleazy sex shop to get Outfits as sexually suggestive as these. But the City’s Council promotes this the king of all non-holidays to get more tourists in using Derry City Airport (Which is owned by the Council) to boost the cities income in autumn.
Halloween is ultimately a pagan festival which promotes the cult. So we have the openness of evil and sometimes Worship of False Ideals. We have drunkenness, drug use, sexually sin along with young girl going out at a young age dress like cheap tarts.
What the City needs is Jesus. It needs to throw away its false god’s. It needs to know that meeting Jesus will be a real celebration for Derry not some false carnival of sin. People need to see that Jesus is God he his good, he is better than any drug legal or otherwise. You don’t need to dress like a prostitute for him to love you. He’s not going to use you like a guy in bar you just meet. Jesus thinks you’re wonderful. Jesus loves us to must he thought we are worthy to die for and he did die for us around 2000 years ago on a cross.
In doing so he washes us clean form sin. From all the things we did and didn’t do or thought.
I hope next year Halloween is cancelled in Derry but we have a massive all Saints Day Festival instead.
Blessing
Matt
