A.T. Pierson wrote, "Whatever is done for God, without respect of its comparative character as related to other acts, is service, and only that is service. Service is, comprehensively speaking, doing the will of God. He is the object. All is for Him, for His sake, as unto the Lord, not as unto

The Greeks had a race in their Olympic games that was unique. Oddly enough, the winner was not the runner who finished first and fastest. It was the first runner who finished the race with his torch still lit.
