From the Secret Message of Jesus, here is a quick excerpt on the topic of God's Kingdom and Christ's message. I'm using this book as part of a series on discipleship. Some evangelicals might throw me under the bus for that, but I'll repent on my death bed so it's all good.....

....Jesus says again and again, this kingdom advances with neither violence nor bloodshed, with neither hatred nor revenge.

Tell that to all the 'Christians' in America who picket against homosexuals or abortion with signs like, "God hates fags". Actually, God hates intolerant white people with racists signage. God also does not stamps his name next to America because they solve their problems in a very pagan way....

No, this kingdom advances slowly, quietly, under the surface--like yeast in dough....:when people believe it is true, it becomes true. And it advances with reconciling, forgiving love: when people love strangers and enemies, the kingdom gains ground. (pg 32.)

Emphasis mine, some food for thought.
