I even want to do that. Even if it is impossible and we can’t leave things “better,” we can at least try really hard not to leave them any worse. But for better or worse, for richer or poorer, before you can make things better, you need to be sure what you are doing won’t make them worse. And the only way you can do that is to know what its “best version” would look like. For instance, take the church. If we want to make our church better, we first need to know what a healthy church looks like. And then, with that as our target, we can strive to make that picture our reality. Aye, but there’s the rub. What does a healthy church look like? That’s what this series is all about; ascertaining the marks of a healthy church. It is step one to leave things better than we found them, even if we are not leaving anytime soon.
