UFO Cults Vs Christians

Tuesday, July 17, 2018

At a meeting in Oregon a man claiming to represent beings from another planet contended that soon, selected people from earth would be taken to this planet. But, in order to prepare for their departure in a UFO, they would have to sell all their worldly goods. About twenty people were convinced, sold everything and followed the man out of their town. Every so often a cult leader comes along speaking of some apocalyptic event, and people give up everything to follow a lie. And yet the followers of the true Messiah are often the least likely to give up their comforts to follow Him. We of all people have something so great that letting go of anything else should be an easy thing. The Lord never called us to be foolish or crazy. But He does call us to give up our hold on what is only temporary. So let go of that thing you're holding on to. Give to the poor, and those in need, because you have a sure hope and a real destination... and you don't need a UFO to get there.
