Verse of the day

See, the day is coming, burning like an oven, when all the arrogant and all evildoers will be stubble; the day that comes shall burn them up, says the Lord of hosts, so that it will leave them neither root nor branch.
Malachi 4:1

Voice of the day

Womanism is the gardener who pulls up the weeds by the root. She knows that it is simply not enough to pluck the weeds that we see on the surface; rather, to truly eradicate the weed, she must grab it by the roots that have taken hold of the Earth, growing where it is not wanted, so that her soil will be fertile and her other plants will not be choked by the invasive intruder.

Lauren W. Reliford “The Liberating Theology That Transformed My Understanding of God”

Prayer of the day

May the righteous stand tall in your garden, Lord. Tend to us, that we may not be hindered by the weeds that seek to choke out goodness.
