Halloween has its roots in ancient pagan celebrations. Today, many people see it as harmless fun, but as Christians, it’s worth thinking about what we celebrate and what the Bible teaches us about it.

Ephesians 5:11 says: “Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.”

This passage invites us to examine our decisions in light of God’s Word, including popular traditions and what we pass on to our children.

At Foundations by ICM you can study the entire Bible for free and go deeper into its teachings to apply them to your life. 👇

“Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.”

Solomon had wealth, wisdom, power, and pleasure. He experienced almost everything, and in the end, he understood that none of it could give his life lasting meaning without God.

Jesus asked a question that still matters today: “What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?” (Mark 8:36).
It’s worth pausing to think about where we’re putting our effort and what we’re building our lives on.

The book of Ecclesiastes admits it openly: sometimes life just isn’t fair.

The corrupt prosper, the liar climbs the ladder, the one who does wrong sleeps peacefully while you, trying to live right, carry consequences you didn’t deserve.
But right there, in the middle of that brutal honesty, Solomon lands on something that shifts the whole perspective: “Wisdom is better than folly, just as light is better than darkness. The wise have eyes in their heads, while the fool walks in the darkness.” Ecclesiastes 2:13-14

We’re not called to live well because it guarantees us prosperity. We’re called to be people of wisdom and truth because that’s who we are, regardless of what’s happening around us.

The wise person sees clearly even when the fool prospers beside them. They walk in light even when everything around them is dark. And that, even when it doesn’t translate into immediate success, is the only thing that holds real value when everything else fades.

In the book of Judges, Israel forgets God, makes selfish decisions, and falls into the hands of their enemies. How many times have we repeated that same cycle in our own lives? Drifting from God when things are going well. Remembering Him when everything falls apart. Receiving His mercy. And forgetting it all over again.

Today Israel, as a nation, remains one of the most persecuted peoples in history. Centuries of suffering, war, and displacement. And many people wonder why.

But the Bible doesn’t present Israel’s suffering as a mystery without an answer. It presents it as the most documented account of what happens to a people that consistently chooses its own way over God’s… and of the mercy that remains available when they decide to return.

Israel’s story is a mirror. And it’s worth looking into it honestly.

here's a tension almost no couple talks about openly before getting married, and that many face without knowing how to navigate it: the in-laws.

When God designed marriage, He made something very clear: "Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh." Genesis 2:24

Leave doesn't mean abandon your family. It means marriage has a priority that no other relationship can replace. And when that priority gets blurred, everything that follows gets complicated.

The book of Ruth is one of the most beautiful examples in the Bible of how family relationships, when they're in the right place, can strengthen a marriage instead of tearing it apart. And it's right at the heart of Judges to Esther.

💬 Do you think in-laws tend to unite or complicate marriages today? 👇

Consider others more important than yourselves. That's the leadership model Jesus demonstrated on the cross.

The book of Hebrews unpacks this with a depth that few New Testament letters reach: Jesus, being God, humbled himself. And that humility is exactly what makes him the high priest who can intercede for us.

Study it with us. 👇

Anxiety lies. It tells you everything depends on you, that if you let go of control something will go wrong, that worrying is the only way to stay prepared.
But there is Someone who knows every detail of your situation, who never sleeps or rests, and who cares for you like a father.

Anxiety doesn't disappear when the problems disappear. It disappears when you trust the One who already holds them in His hands.

The name of God is not explicitly mentioned in the book of Esther. And yet, His providence can be seen throughout the entire story.

Esther finds herself in the right place at the right time, Mordecai uncovers a conspiracy, the king loses sleep at just the right moment, and Haman ends up facing the consequences of his own plan.

Esther reminds us that even when God may not be visible in the scene, He is still at work and remains in control of the story. 🙏

And as you study the Bible, you begin to see how His hand is at work in your own life as well. 👇

Some decisions seem responsible, productive, even spiritual.

But at some point, without even realizing it, a person can get so busy doing "good" things that they miss the best of what God has for them.

The Bible is full of people who chose something good and lost something better. Is there something good in your life that's keeping you from God's best? 🙏
