Verse of the day

If a brother or sister is naked and lacks daily food and one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and eat your fill,” and yet you do not supply their bodily needs, what is the good of that? So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead.  
James 2:15-17

Voice of the day

Hope is like oxygen. But I don’t think that hope is enough in this conflict. We need more responsibility. We need action plans. We need strategy. We need to strategize that hope to be effective.

Ali Abu Awwad, “‘My Goal Is Not to Have a Dialogue; My Goal Is to Solve This Madness’”

Prayer of the day

Stir in us a faith that does not settle for empty hope, but rises with responsibility, strategy, and action to meet the real needs of the oppressed and build peace with our hands as well as our hearts.
