Cymbala shares in his book, "Fresh Power":

"But just as there are people who watch from the bleachers and never know the challenge of competing on the court, we have millions of churchgoers who sit in pews every week without ever entering the game. They sacrifice nothing, strain toward no ministry goals, never agonize in prayer for one soul, but pass judgment on how well the contest of faith is being played. Often they act as if 'they know.' It looks easy from where they're sitting, but then again, they have never really attempted much for God." (Page 140, 141)
