Are aliens demons?
Is this the conversation the Christians should even be having?
In the Reformed and conservative Calvinistic world, we don't talk about this.
It is foolish.
People say that these are myths, genealogies, silly talk.
But our culture isn't there.
Our culture is embracing it.
And I think a lot of people are questioning their faith.
And there are people who are definitely leaving the faith because, well, it doesn't seem like Christians are willing and ready to have a conversation about aliens.
And today we're going to review a video that is having this very conversation.
And I think it would be healthy to listen to this video and then respond to it from a biblical perspective.
How should we, as those who love scripture and love the gospel, be thinking about this conversation in our culture so that we can help the lost find Christ and bring rest to those who are weary and distracted by
this conversation?
So stay tuned.
Ever read the Bible and walk away feeling like you're failing?
No matter how hard you try, you're never measuring up.
That's not a motivation problem, that's a reading problem.
Most people have never been taught how to read the Bible the way Jesus taught it.
So when they hear things like, be perfect, deny yourself, take up your cross, they assume it's all about trying harder.
But what if that's not what Jesus was doing at all.
