Culture warriors of the 20th/21st centuries would have us believe they are seeking the kingdom of God/Heaven.
Are they?
Historically, very time "the c[C]hurch" has attempted to build any kind of kingdom it has been just like every other kind of kingdom - short sighted, power-hungry, arbitrary, insensitive and corrupt (to name a few flaws).
So what is to be hungered/thirsted for today? Maybe simply believers who will prayerfully read scripture, understand what it teaches (yes, the doctrines), accept the grace of God though faith in Jesus and the atoning work he has done, repent of our sins (especially our self-reliant self-righteousness), deny ourselves and our ways, take up our individual crosses daily, and follow Jesus in all he has commanded.
