As believers navigate the world of entertainment, they are called to discernment, fixing their thoughts on what is true and honorable, as Philippians 4:8 instructs. The Bible warns against involvement with occult practices, such as magic, citing Leviticus 19:31, which prohibits seeking out mediums and spiritists. Satan often disguises himself as an angel of light, as 2 Corinthians 11:14 notes, and 1 Peter 5:8 cautions believers to be alert to his schemes, including those presented in movies. Ephesians 5:11 encourages believers to expose the darkness, rather than participating in it, promoting a lifestyle of wisdom and discernment in all aspects of life, including entertainment choices.

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think on these things.
You must not turn to mediums or spiritists; do not seek them out, or you will be defiled by them. I am the LORD your God.
Be sober-minded and alert. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God. For many false prophets have gone out into the world.
Whoever turns to mediums or spiritists to prostitute himself with them, I will also set My face against that person and cut him off from his people.
