Diwali in 23 daysFestival season

Can I celebrate Diwali as a follower of Jesus?

Festivals are when family love is most visible, and when hidden believers feel the most pressure. Here is how to honor your family and keep a clear conscience.

  1. Separate family and culture from acts of worship.
  2. Show love wherever you can: cook, serve, give gifts.
  3. Pray quietly for your family as the lamps are lit.
