I don’t know how you think about surveys, because we all know how they can be manipulated to a desired outcome depending on those conducting the questionnaires. However, there was one survey that was taken recently that, if nothing else, reveals the mindset of some folks around the world. According to twenty percent of people polled in a global survey aliens exist and they are living among us disguised as humans. The Reuters Ipsos poll of 23,000 adults in 22 countries showed that more than 40 percent of people from India and China believe that aliens walk among us disguised as humans, while those least likely to believe in this are from Belgium, Sweden and the Netherlands. More men than women -- 22 percent verses 17 percent -believe that alien beings are on earth. Most of those believers are under the age of 35, and across all income classes, the survey showed. Of those who do not believe, most are women.

Are you an alien? I am! This is not my world; not my home. I am from another kingdom. Okay, you already know where this is going. Jesus said that His kingdom was not of this world, and as a follow of Christ my kingdom is His kingdom and therefore I am not of this world. Yet, I still live here and have a mission to complete while I do so. My King has given me and you the task of making more “residents” of the kingdom of Christ. This assignment can only be carried out if we live as Christ and speak out the Good News about Jesus. If we are in the world and disguised to fit into world; looking and acting just like all other humans – we will accomplish only a failed mission. Failure in accomplishing our charge to make disciples will produce two things; sorrow and disappointment for the Lord, plus more lost souls destined to eternity in hell’s fire. Let each of us “aliens” life out in the open where humans can see the Lord living in us by the way we live our life and the eagerness to share the Good News about our Savior, Lord, and King.
