Verse of the day

Anyone, then, who knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, commits sin.
James 4:17

Voice of the day

If justice sleeps in this land, let it not be because we have helped to lull it to sleep by our silence, our indifference; let it not be from lack of effort on our part to arouse it from its slumbers.

Francis J. Grimké, "Equality of Rights for All Citizens, Black and White, Alike" (1909)

Prayer of the day

Lord, we trust that your holy spirit will give us the wisdom to know what is right. We ask that you grant us courage and perseverance as we pursue justice for all that bear your image.  May we continue to remain faithful in our efforts to be reconciled to one another in your holy name.
