Verse of the day

There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear; for fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not reached perfection in love.
1 John 4:18

Voice of the day

I need a love that is troubled by injustice … A love that has no tolerance for hate, no excuses for racist decisions, no contentment in the status quo. I need a love that is fierce in its resilience and sacrifice. I need a love that chooses justice.

Austin Channing Brown, “I’m Still Here: Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness” (2018)

Prayer of the day

Remind us this day that love is the answer to injustice and that perfect love, embodied by you and living in us, casts out all fear.
