Cartoonology. There is great theology in cartoons and comics.
There is a lot of interest in astrology in our culture. That is nothing new. There are warnings against looking to the stars and the heavens in search of truth or meaning for life early on in the Bible. (Deuteronomy 4:19). Astrology is a form of divination, which is also forbidden by God in the scripture. The Merriam Webster Dictionary defines divination as the art or practice that seeks to foresee or foretell future events or discover hidden knowledge usually by the interpretation of omens or by the aid of supernatural powers. Horoscopes fall into this category.
Most people do not take the reading of horoscopes or the signs of the stars seriously and go unharmed by them. How many of us have opened a Chinese cookie and read our fortune? But the question still remains as to why one would take such risks when the Bible obviously warns against it. Why would anyone turn to the newspaper every day and look at their horoscope? Can dabbling in such a seemingly innocent thing do harm?
The answer to this question is yes, and the evidence is found in the scriptures. Such led Israel to stray from God. Why would we think we could be no less affected? Satan convinces us that little things don't matter knowing that we can end up getting in over our head. Eve's eating of the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden is a prime example. It is best to simply trust in God for everything and depend upon His Word. After all, your future is in His hands.
Psalm 37:3 (NKJV)
3 Trust in the Lord, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. 02-22-10
