When I decide to stay up late and play video games or surf the

                    POPULATION CONTROL STATS
The God of Israel stood apart in the ancient world as the One and Only God who cares about even the most helpless little infant.  Exodus 1:20 says that God rewarded these brave midwives by giving them families of their own.  You see, our God sees babies as blessings!

                    WHEN CHRIST IS IN CONTROL
Martin Luther was often very graphic in his description of the activities of the Devil.  Asked one time how he overcame the Devil, he replied, "Well, when he comes knocking upon the door of my heart, and asks 'Who lives here?' the dear Lord Jesus goes to the door and
