Verse of the day
But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are all brothers and sisters. And call no one your father on earth, for you have one [God], the one in heaven. Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one instructor, the Messiah. The greatest among you will be your servant. All who exalt themselves will be humbled, and all who humble themselves will be exalted.
Matthew 23:8-12
Voice of the day
When we elevate leaders to a separate, higher orbit, it is dangerous for their souls, and it is dangerous for our communities.
Prayer of the day
God, keep us humble and united, guarding us from the dangers of elevating leaders above the call to serve, especially in times of division and uncertainty.
