The following is an excerpt from the November 2008 letter from M. Wayne Hines, of Lanexa, Virginia.
"It is early October and stores are decorated for Halloween. Churches are planning "Fall Festivals" to provide Christians with an alternative to the ancient pagan celebrations that also figure prominently in Satanism. Millions of Americans are spending money on decorations, candy, and costumes. Retail experts are estimating sales in excess of 5 billion dollars. Only Santa Claus spending surpasses Halloween. The Easter Bunny's candy only reaches about 1.6 billion per year. What amazes me is that only about 1.2 billion is spent by evangelicals on missions. The vast percentage of Christianity's financial resources are in the hands of American Christians. how does God view our stewardship of the blessings He has rained down upon us?"
