Verse of the day
So the last will be first, and the first will be last.
Matthew 20:16 (NIV)
Voice of the day
For faith communities, reparations must not be only an effort to compensate for past harms, they must also chart a pathway to a just future. Otherwise, reparations become little more than a salve for white guilt while the sin of white supremacy continues to thrive.
Prayer of the day
God, we pray that you would stir up faith communities who have benefitted from an unjust inheritance of wealth in this country to be a public witness against injustice in this world, and to actionably lead toward a just future where all of your children are valued.
