Feng shui seeks harmony through aligning with energy flows but its foundations conflict with biblical principles. Christians find true order and peace by building their lives and homes on God—the ultimate source of harmony.
Feng shui is built on a dualistic worldview based on Taoist principles and should be avoided.
Feng shui seeks harmony and balance, including in people’s homes, but there is no need to use this system to organize or decorate one’s home.
We are to depend on God, not on feng shui, for harmony and blessing.
How do you currently seek harmony and peace in your home? Are those methods rooted in God's principles?
Are there any influences or habits in your life that might subtly replace your trust in God's sovereignty?
How can you better align your home and lifestyle with the peace and order that comes from relying on Christ?
In the culture of the West and in the United States, most people associate feng shui with a pseudo-science that relates to interior design—deciding how to arrange furniture and such. However, we must remember that it is connected to a pseudo-religion upon which many people base their lives. Many of the principles in feng shui are based on Taoist philosophy. There are multiple forms and methods of feng shui. Those who adhere to New Age thinking have adopted feng shui philosophy and use it to order their lives to differing degrees. Those who use feng shui for home décor use the idea of the "I Ching" to determine which parts of the home are positive/negative and how to arrange furniture and décor. How can we encourage others to depend on God's sovereignty rather than cultural practices like feng shui?
What does Psalm 127:1 teach us about the foundation of a blessed and harmonious home?
How can we differentiate between thoughtful stewardship of our homes and adopting practices rooted in unbiblical philosophies?
Feng shui is a pseudo-religion upon which many people base their lives. Feng shui, which means "wind-water" in Chinese, has as its foundation an attempt to identify and line up with "qi" or an energy flow. This is done using laws of heaven (astronomy) and earth (geography). While we can seek harmony and organization in our homes, feng shui is not a practice that aligns with biblical principles. God is the one who can bring order and peace into our homes, and we must build our homes and our lives on Him.
As Christians, we are called to trust in God's sovereignty and provision rather than seeking harmony or success through practices rooted in pseudo-religious systems like feng shui. While it is good to organize and steward our living spaces thoughtfully, our motivation should be to glorify God and cultivate an environment that reflects His peace and order, not to manipulate unseen forces for personal gain. The Bible reminds us that all blessing and well-being come from the Lord (Psalm 127:1) and that He alone is our source of security. We should focus our hearts and homes with God’s character and design instead of relying on practices that attribute power to anything other than Him. In this way, we live with confidence in Christ, knowing that He is the foundation of all we build.
He is a cross pendant.
He is engraved with a unique Number.
He will mail it out from Jerusalem.
He will be sent to your Side.
Emmanuel
