Verse of the day

Listen! The wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out, and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts. You have lived on the earth in luxury and in pleasure; you have nourished your hearts in a day of slaughter.
James 5:4-5

Voice of the day

God hears workers crying out for justice against an exploitative boss, and it’s time for Christians to listen up too. 

Matt Bernico, “Christians, It's Time To Make Wage Thieves Weep”

Prayer of the day

Today we honor all the laborers. Bring justice to those who have been exploited by bosses and systems that do not see workers as humans full of life and dignity. May we hear the cries of all the workers.
