“Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”

Many Christians have been taught to spend their lives worrying about how to get into heaven.

Jesus seemed far more interested in teaching people how to live as if heaven were breaking into the world around them.

He fed hungry people. He healed sick people. He welcomed those society rejected. He challenged religious and political powers that burdened the vulnerable. He spoke of a kingdom where the last would be first and where love of neighbor was inseparable from love of God.

If our faith does not move us to confront injustice, care for those who are suffering, and build communities where every person is treated with dignity, then what exactly are we preparing for?

The Gospel is not an evacuation plan. It is an invitation to participate in God's transformation of the world.

Not someday.
Now.

The prayer Jesus taught is not, "Get us out of here." It is: "Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven."

May we spend less time trying to secure our place in heaven and more time helping our neighbors experience a glimpse of it here on earth.

Happy Pride Month! 🌈

One of the most beautiful things about God's creation is that it was never designed to be monochrome.

Take a look outside: oceans, sunsets, wildflowers, birds, and even Florida's famous evening skies. Creation is full of color, diversity, and wonder. Why would humanity be any different?

This Pride Month, the Florida Conference of the United Church of Christ celebrates our LGBTQ+ siblings and gives thanks for the gifts, leadership, faith, and love they bring to our churches and communities.

We know that for many people, finding a church where they are fully welcomed has not always been easy. That's why we continue to proclaim a simple but powerful message: there is room for you here.

Not because we all look alike.
Not because we all think alike.
But because God's love is bigger than our differences and stronger than our fears.

So this June, may we celebrate the diversity of God's people, continue the work of justice and inclusion, and remember that every person is created in the image of God.

Happy Pride Month from the Florida Conference of the United Church of Christ. 🌈
