A study was done in the last several years that reveal that nine of ten people who are told by doctors to "change or die" cannot do so. In other words, they are told to stop smoking, lose weight, or quit drinking in order to survive, and nine of ten die rather than change. Churches are similar. Are we personally similar?
Conversely, do we tell people what they want to hear or what they need to hear? Fox News has a story about what doctor would like to say, but will not or cannot because of legal issues.
I see the two similar in that we don't listen to advice and we are unwilling to give loving straight forward advice.
