Lucifer Is Coming
"As I scrolled through my news feed this morning, I stumbled across an item trending on Twitter: #LuciferisComing. No Adventist could resist investigating a line like that. The hashtag quickly led me to a flurry of posts, 85% of which were written by concerned Christians upset about a new television show on Fox slated to premiere on January 25. The series stars actor Tom Ellis as Lucifer - the tall, dark and handsome-and misunderstood--fallen archangel now in "the city of angels"-Los Angeles.

"Communications specialists sometimes argue 'that there's no such thing as bad publicity.' Fox may secretly be reveling in the controversy. But I'm guessing this may be a 'one and done' series--that 'Lucifer is Coming' could shortly be followed by 'Lucifer Has Left the Building.'

"So I decided to hijack a headline to underline an important truth.
The truth is--Lucifer has been misunderstood by many."
