" The most significant competitor of devotion to Jesus is service for Him. It is easier to serve than to be entangled in the things of the world, but we must take note that the one aim of the call of God is the satisfaction of God, not a call to do something for Him. We are not sent to battle for God but to be used by God in His battling’s. "
