Verse of the day

Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; steadfast love and faithfulness go before you.
Psalm 89:14

Voice of the day

The good news, that you can see all around now, is that the spirit is moving among us. It is the spirit of Jesus. And Jesus is that great voice of otherwise, who saw the contradictions of the gospel to the Roman Empire and who acted out an alternative.

Walter Brueggemann

Prayer of the day

Dear God, form us into a peculiar people who live differently because we have been transformed by you. May the courage of the early Christians teach us to laugh at fear, to starve greed, and to live with the winsome freedom of the lilies and the sparrows. Amen. 
Common Prayer: A Liturgy for Ordinary Radicals
