Sojourners Verse and Voice – 5 June 2026
Verse of the day
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
– Matthew 5:6
Voice of the day
I am all for churches being a part of the nonviolent marches and protests that have happened in the wake of violent killings, but these protests happen only after a tragic event has taken place. I want the church to be what prevents these acts from ever happening. I want the church to be the community that is so dedicated to loving our neighbors, to caring for the poor and neglected, and to living out true reconciliation that these killings do not even take place.
– John M. Perkins
Prayer of the day
Redeemer and righteous one, set our hearts ablaze as we go out into the world to avert harm and care for each other.
MT 5:6 should have special meaning in our world today. And hopefully motivation for some.
