Compassion by Command

Compassion by Command is an innovative resource for churches to explore the issues of poverty and delve into Biblical directives related to the poor. Although the words compassion and command seem contradictory, the Bible leaves no wiggle room on the Church’s responsibility to the poor. Proverbs 14:31 says, “He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for their maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God.”

           Compassion by Command is a Bible study package, a training tool that shows the real life stories of those in poverty and provides practical steps for churches to make a difference in their communities. It also makes creative use of a gripping made-for-TV film, God Bless the Child.

           First produced on video in 2002, a greatly-expanded version is now available on DVD.
