LIFE QUOTE – “Over and over again, throughout the Old Testament, we read the words: ‘Beget!’ ‘Descendants!’
‘Families!’ ‘Genealogies!’ ‘Generations!’ These are words of life! God’s hands have not stopped creating! Each new
human life bears witness of His amazing and faithful love--even for fallen, sinful creatures. Life continues!”
