Verse and Voice of the Day from Sojourners
Verse of the Day:
Then he said to them all, “If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will save it. What does it profit them if they gain the whole world, but lose or forfeit themselves?”
- Luke 9:23-25
Voice of the Day:
We are afraid of religion because it interprets rather than just observes. Religion does not confirm that there are hungry people in the world; it interprets the hungry to be our brethren whom we allow to starve.
- Dorothee Sölle,
German theologian and writer, Death by Bread Alone (1975).
