Sojourners Verse and Voice – 2 September 2025
Verse of the day
But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than any human authority.”
– Acts 5:29
Voice of the day
Wars will be stopped only when soldiers refuse to fight, when workers refuse to load weapons onto ships and aircraft, when people boycott the economic outposts of Empire that are strung across the globe.
– Arundhati Roy, “Public Power in the Age of Empire”
Prayer of the day
God of justice and courage, strengthen our hearts to obey you above all earthly powers, that we may refuse to fuel the engines of war and instead labor for peace.
Pastor Michael Moore's Blog
