Piety Without Philanthropy is Unreal
Topic: Social GospelBible expositor Bonar Law once said that love to man is truly love only when it is rooted and governed by love to God. Piety without philanthropy is unreal; philanthropy without piety is either immoral or impotent. Thats a sobering statement. There are lots of humanitarians who are doing good things, but if they are doing them without any relationship to God, the ultimate result is failure.
