The Compassion Commitment

Cultural customs and traditional practices must not take precedence over the biblical guidelines for human relationships. Our heavenly Father declares the value and dignity of human life. Adults and children are made in the image of God (Genesis 1:27, Psalm 139). God's Word must have the final authority in regulating compassionate treatment of every human being, including children.
