QUOTE OF THE DAY:
Hospitality is a test for godliness because those who are selfish do not like strangers (especially needy ones) to intrude upon their private lives. They prefer their own friends who share their life-style. Only the humble have the necessary resources to give of themselves to those who could never give of themselves in return. Erwin W. Lutzer (1941- ) [Draper's Book of Quotations for the Christian World]
