Trick or Treat?
As a boy, “Trick or Treat” night ranked
second on my list of favorite holidays
behind Christmas. I loved dressing up and
wearing those plastic masks that would
make your face sweat, give you no
peripheral vision, and would always have
to be taped to hold the elastic band to the
mask where I had ripped it through the
plastic hole (Remember?). The only down
side about Trick or Treat was when
someone would drop an apple in your
bag. An apple! Are you kidding me? Who
wants an apple?
Well, one year when I returned home and
spread my candy out of the floor to
“categorize” it (did you do this?), I
discovered that someone had given me an
apple, and before I could take a bite, my
mom said, “Don’t bite into that apple. I
want to cut it up in wedges just to be
safe.” As it turned out, when my mom
sliced up the apple, she found a wood
screw had been inserted in hopes of
injuring the person who took a bite.
But now, here’s why I tell you this story. I
didn’t go Trick or Treating outside of my
neighborhood. I didn’t go to strangers’
houses. I just went where I was known.
But who would have thought that
someone I knew and trusted would try to
harm me or any other child in the
neighborhood? In a similar vein, who
would think that people whom we know
and trust might mislead us when it comes
to our spiritual well-being?
The point that I am making is not to
“distrust” everyone, but rather to
“verify” everything by what the Bible
teaches. That’s the only way we can be
sure that we are safe (1 Thessalonians
5:21). Remember, we can be harmed by
the malicious spiritual advice of others, but
we can also be just as harmed by the
misguided, but well-intended advice of
friends.

PEOPLE & CHALLENGES
Why is it that so many people take the challenge
to run in a marathon, but won’t enter the race of
faith (Hebrews 12: 1-2)?
Why is it that so many people develop the skill
of self-control to engage in an athletic contest,
but fail to develop that skill when it comes to
their spiritual life (1 Corinthians 9:27)? Why is it that so many people can read for hours
in books that are difficult to read as well as
interpret, yet neglect reading the Bible, which
was intended to be read and understood
(Ephesians 3:4; 2 Timothy 3: 15)?
Why is it that so many people can take
individuals they have hired and mold and shape
them with wisdom and understanding in a
workplace, but fail miserably in raising their
children in the discipline and instruction of the
Lord (Ephesians 6:4)?
Why is it that so many people want to take on
extra responsibility in community service
projects and social clubs, but have little or no
desire to be involved in the work of God and his
people (Titus 2: 14)?
-by Lance Cordell
Why is it that so many people are willing to
sacrifice years of their lives to stay with one
company and yet are ready to walk away (within
a few years) from the one person they chose to
spend their life with (Genesis 2:24)?
Why is it that so many people spend great
amounts of time to figure out puzzles and
