![“The problem with Christian culture is we think of love as a commodity. We use it like money. [...] If something is doing something for us, offering us something, be it gifts, time, popularity, or what have you, we feel they have value, we feel they are worth something to us. I could see it so…” quote by Donald Miller](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/827/donald-miller-607_christianity_the-problem-with-christian-culture-is-we_273082.jpg)
