ALIEN INVASION

Have you heard about the Mars One Project?  This fascinating project plan is to send earthlings to Mars to set up a human colony.   Think of the irony:  for the first time in human history, earthlings will be aliens on Mars!  Did you know that the Bible refers to Christian believers as aliens?  "Dear friends, I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul.  Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us,"  I Peter 2:11-12 (NIV).  
 
One of the first things they will do upon arriving on Mars is create a new atmosphere around their habitat -- the atmosphere is not ready for human habitation.  As Christians, the cities that we inhabit should be experiencing a change in the atmosphere.   During the Great Awakening of the 18th century and the Welsh Revival at the turn of the 20th century, bars, brothel houses, and gambling joints closed down because they didn't have any customers!  Church, it's time for revival!  "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in Heaven,"  Matthew 5:16.  Entire communities will rejoice and be changed because of the "alien invasion"...Christians moving in!
