Proverbs 27:12 (NIV)
12 The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it.
Improving the health of a church requires that leaders be prudent.

Mit einem Verständnis sowohl Ihrer hellen als auch Ihrer dunklen Seiten sollten Sie sich jetzt Ihrem zukünftigen Wachstum zuwenden, indem Sie die Frage stellen: „Was ist derzeit am Wichtigsten?" Ganz allgemein bedeutet dies, Energie dafür einzusetzen, im Bereich Ihrer am schwächsten entwickelten Frucht Fortschritte zu machen. Konkreter heißt es, dass Sie sich für einen einfachen Plan entscheiden müssen, der Ihnen dabei hilft zu lernen, sich in diesem Bereich in Zukunft anders zu verhalten.
With an understanding of both the bright and dim aspects of your reflection of love, you need to look at your future growth by asking the question, "What is most important now?” This means focusing some energy on your least developed Fruit of the Spirit. More specifically, it involves deciding on a simple plan of action for you to begin practicing that which will help you to act differently in your lowest fruit area.

"The final chord rings out and you feel so completely overwhelmed by the presence of God that you simply do not want to move. Or perhaps it is that you can't move. Either way, that final song, that sense of unified worship, the place of God in the words of the final verse… you sense that this song could take your home congregation to a new place. After the service the next weekend you ask a few members of your worship team to stay back a while as you play for them this new found gem.
