Divination

Divination

Author: A Word Fitly Spoken October 29, 2020 Duration: 1:04:43
The Lord tells us to avoid mediums and necromancers, but many throughout history until today turn to them. Is there a real danger, or is it simply fake and harmless? How should the Christian view fortune telling or other ways of trying to influence the future? Come along with us through the Bible, the weirdness of Renaissance magic, the surprising people involved in the Reformation, and even Houdini going to Congress, as we discuss divination in all its forms.

There’s a particular richness that comes from seeing the whole story, from tracing a thread through centuries and discovering it’s still holding strong today. That’s the journey offered by A Word Fitly Spoken Podcast. Rather than offering quick takes, each episode settles into a deliberate and thoughtful exploration of the Bible, treating Scripture with both reverence and intellectual curiosity. The focus remains fixed on presenting Jesus Christ in his complete character and work, drawing directly from the biblical text. What makes this podcast distinct is how it consistently connects this deep scriptural study to the lived experience of faith across time. You’ll hear how the truths of God’s Word have been understood, defended, and have borne tangible fruit throughout the broad sweep of church history. This approach provides listeners with a grounded, historical perspective that deepens contemporary faith. The conversations and teachings here are for anyone weary of fragmented spirituality, offering instead a cohesive vision of Christianity that is both ancient and urgently relevant. Tuning in feels less like consuming content and more like joining a thoughtful, ongoing discussion about the foundations that have sustained believers for generations.
