The difference between listening to a radio sermon and going to church...is almost like the difference between calling your girl on the phone and spending an evening with her.

Summary

This quote suggests that there is a significant difference between passively engaging with religious teachings, such as listening to a radio sermon, and actively participating in a church community. It compares the experience to the contrast between merely talking to someone on the phone and spending quality time with them in person. The implication is that attending church allows for a deeper sense of connection, engagement, and direct experience with spiritual teachings and community, similar to the way spending time with someone in person is more immersive and meaningful than a phone conversation.
