We cannot and will not advance the Kingdom of God by our angry rhetoric. We have not been alone enough with Messiah to catch His Spirit. The Kingdom of God advances through love, peacemaking, meekness, and humility, as taught in the Sermon on the Mount. This sermon is the spiritual warfare strategy for the Kingdom of God. It is the way that we live counter-culturally. We must be so saturated with the virtues of the Kingdom of God that we will not negatively reflect on our Lord, the Prince of Peace.
”For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?” Matthew 5:46 (NASB)
