The earth, air and waters of our world have become very polluted by our trash.  Society around us is polluted by other kinds of trash: violence, moral decay, rage, hatred and loss of ethics.  All this, and more, pollutes the cultures in which we live.  If this rotting pollution would go away, and love reigned in its place, we would even now taste new creation before it comes.  If all would love the way Jesus taught us, heaven and earth would be coming together.  We are not to wait for the future kingdom for this to be; we are to live the present kingdom as reality in our lives and as the worldview from which we operate.

“May Your will be done on earth as in heaven.” -The Lord’s Prayer
