Message: We understand how vulnerable children are from the moment they are born. They are dependent on the care and protection of someone who loves them. And they are especially precious to God because they represent His life-giving power. For these reasons, God has always valued children and expected His people to protect them. Jesus was known for welcoming, loving, and honoring children even when others wouldn't. And His people must untangle this issue from all of its political trappings of our day and embrace God's heart for the youngest among us, who are made in God's image.
