A.W. Tozer emphasizes that many people engage in religion as if it were a game, participating in the 'game of pious words' without genuine transformation or moral commitment. He critiques the Church for having its own 'fields' and 'rules' that allow individuals to play at religion, often leading to a superficial experience devoid of real change in character or life. Tozer warns that, like athletes skillfully handling a ball, many use religious language to gain applause rather than to foster true spiritual growth. Ultimately, he laments that such activities do not lead to any lasting impact on individuals' lives, leaving them unchanged after the experience. The sermon calls for a deeper, more authentic engagement with faith that transcends mere words.
