In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1

For decades theological liberals and revisionist theologians have sought to speak of God’s kingdom as something we can engineer through human efforts and good works. In this conception of the kingdom, God is little more than a cheerleader encouraging our own efforts. He is not infinitely sovereign, but instead just someone who is infinitely resourceful. His kingdom makes no demands on our lives because, as king, he is merely an impotent monarch who simply encourages humanity to live up to its full potential. Here is what God has to say about that: “I am the Lord your God, that is My name; and My glory I will not give to another.” Isaiah 42:8 NKJV
