Looking for Spirit in all the Wrong Places

According to a Christian Research Institute report in 2003, more than 30 percent of Americans believed in astrology, and more than 50 percent believe in ghosts. A Harris Poll, that year, stated 60 percent of people under thirty believed in ghosts and 43 percent believed in astrology.

Nothing I have observed since then, causes me to believe those figures have gone down. If anything, the percentages have increased.

As Christian researcher Elliot Miller has written, people are looking for spiritual answers to life’s problems, they are just not interested in the ones God is offering.

Good information for those of us who are Christians, as we enter the Halloween season.
