Verse of the day

Jesus said, “Make the people sit down.” Now there was a great deal of grass in the place, so they sat down, about five thousand in all. Then Jesus took the loaves, and when he had given thanks he distributed them to those who were seated; so also the fish, as much as they wanted.
John 6:10-11

Voice of the day

[Christ] seems to have come to carry religion out of the temples into the fields and sheep pastures, onto the roadsides and the banks of the rivers, into the houses of sinners and publicans, into the town and the wilderness, toward the membership of all that is here.

Wendell Berry, “Jayber Crow” (2000)

Prayer of the day

Jesus, you meet us where we are. Help us have an active faith, one that goes out and is evident in the world.
