Further, whereas Mosser envisions the kingdom of God as being brought about
by God's unilateral power, Latter-day Saints expect the kingdom of God
to be brought about through our love for God. Only when we truly do the will
of God freely will his kingdom reign. The kingdom is not brought about by coercive
power, but by loving persuasion. The kingdom of God is not found in the sky
but inside of us. If the kingdom is not drawn from our loving hearts and our
willingness to do God's will on earth as it is done in heaven, his kingdom
cannot come.

What else could you expect from humans?
This is the message I hear ad nauseam every Sunday in the pacifist church I've been going to. The pacifist part I struggled with but not this message.
