When love of one’s people becomes an absolute, it turns into racism. When love of equality turns into a supreme thing, it can result in hatred and violence toward anyone who has led a privileged life. It is the settled tendency of human societies to turn good political causes into counterfeit gods.
TIMOTHY KELLER- Generosity is not only about money. There is more than one currency. Let your generosity be pervasive in life.
