A faithful christian in Lean environment

How some of the contents in the Lean philosophy could be so much similar to the teachings in the Bible?

Actually i don't intend to compare a management tool from Toyota's invention to a religion teaching....but there is a desire within me to share this message since i'm associated to both school of thoughts.

Today, a church sermon was delivered that was so much relevant to the world happenings now. Taken from Luke 5: 37-39. Lots of people refuse to change once they are happy (or lazy to change) when they are in the comfort zone. Sometimes, these people also fear in changes, inflexible to change, no long term vision to change, etc.

Change...a very powerful word in today's world as we see many people lost or swayed aside from their good old days but these people still remain the same in their lifestyle. Lost of career, lost of incomes, etc. But they are still overspending and remain in their old lifestyle. Why?

As Lean change agents, sometimes we also encounter resistance from people (especially old timers) to change in the business process, the working culture and the way of working. Cost cutting, business improvement or organisation restructuring...all these are towards changes as well.

In a nutshell, changes are coming from inside a person's heart and not forced by external factors.
