It is all a disguised quest for power. The &#8220;civil rights&#8221; movement was just a cover for carnal people to grasp for power. The &#8220;equal rights for women&#8221; movement was just a cover for carnal people to grasp for power. This whole world is motivated by talk and rumor. Equality in this world will never exist, least of all for God&#8217;s people. Know who your family is. It is the family of God. We are ambassadors from a foreign country, a heavenly one. All hope for anything in this world is vain. We are not liberals or conservatives; we are for Jesus &#8211; he is the only one who is truly impartial. Our only hope is Jesus. Our only desire is Jesus. This world is damned, and it is going to be destroyed.&#8221;<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">All these thoughts remind me of what Grandma Edna used to ask Bro.
