Do Right

Proverbs 21:3 To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.
Doing what is right and fair is more acceptable to The Lord than offering sacrifice.
Samuel put it this way:
1 Samuel 15:22 And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord ? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.
Sacrificing our time, money and talents is wonderful but if we fail to do that which is right and fair towards others then we aren't obeying The Lord.
Bob Jones senior said  "It's never right to do wrong in order to get a chance to do right." Do Right in our Talk, Do Right in our walk for The Lord, Do Right in our business with our Customers, why should one pay more just because they can for the same service or product we sale or do for less to those who can't afford it. What would be the goal for doing such an act?  Would it be right to rob a bank if you gave all the money to a needy work for The Lord? No that's doing wrong in order to a chance to do good. I do service work therefore when the cost of the work is more than the base price. I must be careful not to price the work higher because of what I see the customer has. It's better to be fair and do right.
Luke 6:31 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
Rule "how do I want others to treat me?" "Then I must treat others with the same respect and attitude."
