<p>In the movie <em>Chariots of Fire</em>, Rev. J.D. Liddell advised his son, Eric Liddell, future 1924 Olympic gold medalist and missionary to China, “You can praise God by peeling a spud if you peel it to perfection. Don’t compromise. Compromise is a language of the devil. Run in God’s name and let the world stand back and wonder.”</p>
