Christians Should Shun Astrology and Palm Reading
Billy Graham answers a reader about Christians engaging in astrology and palm reading. He cites Deuteronomy 18:12 and Romans 8:39 to argue future should be in God’s hands, warns of fraud and satanic influence, and recalls Acts 19:19 where converts burned magic books. He urges turning away from occult practices entirely.
