God had made perfectly clear in the Scriptures what his will was for the past, present, and future, and also what he required of human beings.
Consulting horoscopes, astrology, palm reading, interpretation of omens and lots, the phenomena of clairvoyance, and recourse to mediums all conceal a desire for power over time, history, and, in the last analysis, other human beings, as well as a wish to conciliate hidden powers. They contradict the honor, respect, and loving fear that we owe to God alone.
The bottom line is that Christians should trust God, pray to God for answers, search the Scriptures for answers, and ask questions of mature and wise Christians. We live by faith
Not a seremon, just a thought
