Aliens!

Alien-differing in nature or character typically to the point of incompatibility (Merriam-Webster).

     So that's the definition of an Alien. In a way, somebody who is different from the normal. For our purposes, this is a full on Christian truly dedicated to serving the Lord. The whole Bible contains plenty of information on these people. 1 Peter 2:11-12 states, "Dear friends, as aliens and strangers in this world,I urge you to abstain from sinful desires that war against your soul." Here Paul states that we are aliens or strangers to this world. we're not from here, it's just a temporary living place. So act like your different.

     The alien is going to have been through the other two stages as well. At one point he would've been a skeptic, even if he was "born in the church."  He would've found himself as a Zombie Alien due to apathy, unbelief, or something else. A true Alien lives by Luke 9:23 which states, "Then he said to them all: 'Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.'" This verse has a lot more to it than you think, but for right now, think about it and what it means.

     For more information on Aliens (and some Zombie Aliens) I recommend reading Not a Fan by Kyle Idleman, it's an awesome book.
