Watch Out for the Child Snatchers (4 of 6)
Love, Marriage, and a Baby Carriage

How many do we have today who would be in the
Children's Division of our Sunday School? That would
be grades 1-5. I want you to stand and be recognized

the service this morning.
We do not know her name. We know that she came from a

child snatcher. Some children are snatched from their
mother's womb and do not even have the privilege of a
life. Almost 40 million in America have been aborted
before they are even allowed to exist.

He had abducted the child and set the child on fire.
He said, "If I couldn't have the child, I didn't want
her to have the child either."
There are some children who are going through self-
abuse. Have you read about huffing? That's the latest
thing that's going among young children. That is,
