How many men and women on this earth join forces to serve great ideas like the Kingdom of God and His righteousness? Very few. You do, however, see great numbers of people waste their energies in defending all kinds of causes of lesser importance (crumbling monuments, old customs, a certain breed of dog, etc.), which in fact they then soon abandon for another, and another ... Some will say: 'But joining forces to help people who are the victims of a disaster or persecution is doing something, and at least we see results. Whereas the Kingdom of God is a utopia and will never be realized.' Well, that is of no concern to us. Jesus said: '... strive first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness, ...' and what is our concern is that we must work for its realization, because this is the only ideal worth devoting your life to. What is certain, however, is that if no-one does anything, in the belief that all efforts in this direction are useless, then of course the Kingdom of God will never be realized.
