Stupid Consistency

Dad:  Did you enjoy the burrito I made for you? (looking at plate that's not been put in the sink).
Son:  Yes
Dad: Did you get enough to eat?  (no movement to put plate in sink)
Son:  Yes
Dad:  Can you put your plate in the sink? (still no movement)
Son:  Yes
Dad:  Please put your plate in the sink now.  (half distracted moves from couch, still watching cartoons, and slowly puts plate in sink)

Pastor:  Did you hear that you are a loved child of God? (seeing others who need to hear that)
Church:  Yes
Pastor:  Did you hear it enough that you believe it? (no move to share message with others)
Church:  Yes
Pastor:  Can you tell people that they are also beloved child God? (still no movement)
Church:  Yes
Pastor:  Please share this with others now. ( . . . )
