SOJOURNERS VERSE AND VOICE 23AUG24

 

THIS speaks directly to me and I admit I need to do better.... From Sojourners

Verse of the day Those who say, “I love God,” and hate a brother or sister are liars, for those who do not love a brother or sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. The commandment we have from him is this: those who love God must love their brothers and sisters also. - 1 John 4:20-21 Voice of the day When what we offer folks is a restricted diet of love and do not provide an equal portion of justice, we are only talking about a partial gospel — not a whole one. - Emilie Townes, In a Blaze of Glory (1995) Prayer of the day God of love and justice, may we love each other fully, in a way that provides justice to our brothers, sisters, and siblings in Christ.
