Celebrating Holidays and Feasts

Wow! We had an interesting and thought provoking discussion last night which sent me home pondering...

• Should Christians celebrate Halloween? How should we "celebrate" it?
• Should Christians even celebrate Christmas and Easter?
• Should Christians, living under grace, celebrate the feasts and festivals as God commanded in the Old Testament as a picture to His chosen people of the coming Messiah and fufilled by Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in the New Testament? 
• How can our celebrations worship the Lord while serving others? 
• Can/how should we use these celebrations to share the love of Christ with the world?
  

I couldn't sleep last night. It was exciting to be in the midst of a group of women so eager to obey Yeshua's command to: "... love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.”
