Science and spirituality have been at odds for centuries. While some say modern day discoveries have rendered God obsolete, common sense dictates that everything that exists in the universe is a manifestation of the Creator.
Almost daily we are besieged by stories about UFO's and aliens. They come from all over the world. For decades television shows such as The X Files, Stargate, Star Trek and Ancient Aliens topped the charts. Hundreds of movies and documentaries have made many millions of dollars at the box office. The public is utterly enthralled - fascinated - with stories about life beyond planet Earth and what it might mean. While there are many points of view, some say the existence of alien life is proof that God does not exist. Dan Corner, Director of Evangelical Outreach had this to say:
Can a belief in both God and aliens be maintained? Is a belief in aliens compatible with Christianity? Many credible witnesses from around the globe claim sightings of UFOs. Some of the major sightings are: the Phoenix Lights flying saucer incident, the Westall, Australia Mass UFO in 1966, and the 1995 occurrence in Zimbabwe where 62 children saw a UFO and a couple of aliens.
There have been numerous, corroborated reports of intricately designed crop circles around the world, bloodless cattle mutilations with surgical precision as well as human abductions and mutilations. Some examples, among many, that have leaked out of UFO news are: an unidentified Brazilian man in 1988; Jonathan Lovette from White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico in 1956, and Todd Sees from Pennsylvania who was abducted by a UFO and murdered in 2002 and whose boot was found in the top of a tree! Another was the Russian Dyatlov Pass event, where the Soviet authorities reported the horribly mutilated bodies of skiers to be the result of an “unknown compelling force”. If the reports of these horrifically gruesome mutilations are true, then at least some aliens visiting our planet are dangerously hostile to mankind.
Furthermore, if intelligent alien life were verified, nothing about the Biblical message would change. Jesus of Nazareth remains the Lord of Lords. His redemptive death on the cross is still the only hope to be freed from sin addictions and the sole way for mankind to find peace with God.
Nonetheless, John Lear (son of the inventor of the Lear Jet) conjectured as to what the government, if it divulged its information, would reveal about aliens, when he made the following comments:
“We found out that we (humans) are the experiment or product, if you will, of an alien race, who we never met ……..” and ... ‘At this point it became apparent to all involved that there was no such thing as a God, at least as the public perceives God. Certainly some kind of computer recorder stores information, and an occasional miracle is displayed by the aliens to influence a religious event’.
Yet, others have notions about aliens intervening and saving the world from a future nuclear holocaust, thereby making extraterrestrials the "savior of mankind."
Such spiritual conjecture, by the likes of John Lear, Erich Von Daniken and others in the UFO community, is spiritual poison. I had a conversation with a man who told me a belief in aliens and UFO’s refutes the Bible. When I asked him why, he had no answer. He must have taken at face value what he heard from government “experts” or others without question. I assured him the Bible does allow for the possibility of intelligent life on another planet (Rev. 10:6).
False religious doctrines, which attack Christian beliefs, have been mixed in with general information about UFOs and aliens to our spiritual harm. The devil is active in deceiving people spiritually.
The father of lies (Jn. 8:44) can masquerade as an angel of God (2 Cor. 11:14) and even perform miracles (Ex. 7:10-11; 2 Thess. 2:9-10; Rev. 16:14). The devil can also come as an alien to deceive people.
The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. (2 Thess. 2:9-10)
Following are some notions of the “alien gospel”: the human race was designed and created by aliens; earth is an alien laboratory; the giants of Noah’s day in Genesis 6 were really the offspring of aliens and humans; Ezekiel's wheel was a UFO; evolution and Darwin are highly spoken of; Jesus' ascension was really him being beamed up into a spaceship; God is not a person but a force or energy, aliens know our thoughts and communicate with humans via telepathy; miracles are from aliens, not God, and finally, God doesn’t exist.
The alien gospel is disproven by God's Word: God is our protecter (Psa. 5:11-12; 18:2,3; 116:6; Prov. 2:6-8; Rom 8:31; etc.), not aliens; souls don't transfer from person to person -- they go to fiery torment or Paradise after death based on heart purity through faith in Jesus Christ (Jn. 5:29; Mt. 7:13,14; Rom. 2:6-11; 1 Cor. 6:9-11; Rev. 21:1-8 cf. Mt. 5:8; Acts 15:9,11); God knows our motives and deepest thoughts (Psa. 94:11; 1 Cor. 4:5; etc.) -- not aliens. Furthermore, the Lord Jesus Christ and his apostles endorsed Adam's creation, as cited in Genesis, thereby refuting this poisonous alien gospel: The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven (1 Cor. 15:47) and, “For Adam was formed first, then Eve” (1 Tim 2:13).
How then should we view Gen. 3:20 where it says Eve is the mother of all the living? All that verse is saying is that Eve is the mother of humanity without mentioning life on other planets.
Related Bible verses against the dangerous alien gospel: You are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among the peoples (Psa. 77:14). Does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you because you observe the law, or because you believe what you heard? (Gal 3:5).
IF aliens do exist and are reporting false religious information, they are either lying or just mistaken; there is no reason to accept them as moral or factual creatures just because they may be more intelligent and advanced than we are.
IF aliens do exist, then God created them too: "And he swore by him [God] who lives for ever and ever, who created the heavens and all that is in them, the earth and all that is in it, and the sea and all that is in it..." (Rev. 10:6).
Finally, UFOlogists have concealed the many testimonies of "aliens" which have disappeared upon being resisted and rebuked in Jesus' name.

Leadership Training Is A Strategic Investment Says Rocky Romanella Of 3SIXTY Management Services LLC
Some of us believe that we must be born with leadership qualities. Others believe leadership skills can be trained. Rocky Romanella believes that nearly all of us hold the characteristics of a leader within, and that often the qualities of a good leader need only be revealed. While there is no shortage of leadership theories or leadership training programs, Romanella and his team at 3SIXTY Management Services LLC have turned Leadership Training into an art form.
"Great leaders rise to the top, but all need development and leadership training along the way," Romanella stated. "The objective of 'Balanced Leadership' training offered by 3SIXTY is to recognize that the balance between customers, people and stakeholders is a strategic process that requires constant calibration. Our leadership training program explores the concepts of Balanced Leadership and how optimizing processes through this lens helps optimize the entire team for performance.
"The context of our leadership training program includes a road map in five key areas:
"Thinking like a customer by approaching each challenge as a true solutions provider. We’ll emphasize how your actions influence your people and how you can help them better understand your business from the eyes of the customer and use this new insight to guide their decisions and actions.
"Feeling like a valuable contributor by believing your work and your team’s contributions matter, while never compromising on safety and values. When you feel valued, you are empowered. You make smart decisions. By fostering this mindset, you create an uncompromising culture of integrity, honesty, respect and service.
"Acting like an owner with a true understanding of the organizations business objectives and competitive environment and the critical role of each contributor in what leads to success. When you treat your job as if it is your business, you pay careful attention to your customers and people – and more.
"Understanding the "Big 8", key drivers of a successful business roadmap, and how to use them to connect performance to business results.
"Driving employee engagements through a well-defined communications strategy."
Rocky speaks from experience. With over 40 years of “boots on the ground” leadership experience, he is one of the best keynote motivational speakers in the country and internationally.

Many of the Balanced Leadership principles in the book also serve as keystone concepts in his engaging and highly entertaining keynote presentations and breakout sessions.
3SIXTY donates one dollar to the Jimmy V Fund to find the cure for cancer for each copy of 'Tighten The Lug Nuts' sold.
In addition to 'Tighten The Lug Nuts', Romanella offers a wealth of information at the company's website, all at no charge. These include a dedicated podcast resource page and a new video library.

Award Winning Author Donna Fletcher Crow Announces New Jane Austen Centre Newsletter Featured Article, New Re-Release Of 'Where Love Illumines'
Author Donna Fletcher Crow recently made a number of exciting announcements for Jane Austen fans and for readers of historical fiction.
Jane Austen fans hold a deep and abiding love for everything Jane Austen. Donna Fletcher Crow is a multi-award winning author and a traveling researcher who engages people and places from Britain's past and present, drawing comparisons and contrasts between past and present for today's reader. She too has a special place in her heart for Jane Austen and has recently begun a series of articles based on Austen's seaside travels. As part of that series, she recently posted an extensive, personally researched article entitled "Worthing as Jane Austen's Sanditon, Then and Now."
The article, an in-depth exploration of Jane Austen's connection to Worthing currently available at her website, was featured in the Jane Austen Centre newsletter July 2019 edition. Readers can access the collection of articles on the Jane Austen tour at her site. She also offers selected no-charge books for those who sign up for her monthly newsletter.
Crow also announced that 'Where Love Illumines', Book 2 in the 'Where There Is Love' series was released on July 22. In the storyline of the book, Mary Tudway is forced to choose between two worlds: the pleasurable life of her high society friends Sarah Child, heiress of Osterley Park, and the Bishop of Raphoe and his dashing Nephew, Roger; or the life of faith and service represented by the Countess of Huntingdon, her lovely daughter Selina and the witty but devout Rowland Hill. The story moves through the fashionable worlds of London and Bath as the death of one friend, the elopement of another and the startling unveiling of the Highwayman of Hampstead Heath play their parts in Mary's finally making a choice of lasting value.
Donna Fletcher Crow is the author of 45 books, mostly novels of British history. The award-winning 'Glastonbury' is her best-known work, which received the prestigious First Place, Historical Novel, award from the National Federation of Press Women. Readers and reviewers have raved about 'Glastonbury', calling it "The best of its kind," "richly fascinating," "beautifully researched,", "gloriously evocative," and "panoramic." One Amazon reader said, "WHAT a work! Every reader can be enveloped in the sheer scope and quality, every historian be constantly nodding at the precise detail and accuracy, and every Christian can rejoice in the fullness of scripture. For me it is simply beyond descriptive praise. I would urge all who value truth to treat themselves to a feast."
The Daughters of Courage, 'Kathryn', 'Elizabeth' and 'Stephanie' is a pioneer family saga based on the stories of Crow's own family and other Idaho pioneers in the Kuna, Nampa and Boise area. Her current short story “A Nostalgic Fourth of July” is based on a scene from ‘Kathryn: Days of Loss and Hope'.
The Elizabeth & Richard Mysteries is a literary suspense series using literary figures as background: Rudyard Kipling in 'The Flame Ignites', Dorothy L Sayers in 'The Shadow of Reality', Shakespeare in 'A Midsummer Eve's Nightmare', and Jane Austen in both 'A Jane Austen Encounter' and 'A Most Singular Venture'. Watch for 'A Prodigious Sum of Corpses: Seeking Sanditon at Jane Austen’s Seashore', which will take the reader to the sites featured in Donna’s current blog series, following the steps of a murderer.
The Lord Danvers Victorian true-crime series is an Amazon bestseller in the British Detectives category. Books in the series include 'A Lethal Spectre', 'A Most Inconvenient Death', 'Grave Matters', 'To Dust You Shall Return' and 'A Tincture of Murder'. Donna provides a no-charge download of 'A Tincture of Murder' for those who sign up for her newsletter. More information is available at her website.
The Monastery Murder Series features atmospheric contemporary crimes with their roots buried deep in the middle ages. Books in the series include 'A Very Private Grave', 'A Darkly Hidden Truth', 'An Unholy Communion', 'A Newly Crimsoned Reliquary' and 'An All-Consuming Fire'.
Where There is Love, a 6-book series of the enduring legacy of love and faith, featuring historic people and events of the 18th and 19th centuries. Where Love Begins, book 1, has just been released in print for the first time. It is the story of Catherine Peronnet whose world is in tatters. Charles Wesley is engaged to another, her brother beaten by an angry mob, and her favorite pupil forced to leave school. Catherine endures the terrors of a circuit-ride, a threatened French invasion and the Great London Earthquake before finding happiness.
