Members of the church, now more than at any time, need to have clear ways to discern proper leadership. Without it, there's very little oversight into who becomes a leader, paid or volunter, within a church. Failures can be immediately dramatic. But more likely, there is the "Leaven Effect": the slow, at first imperceptible, erosion of the Gospel. Yet, why is the risk high? It's very easy to accept on faith decisions made by the leadership as "annointings." But in the same way that companies have boards of directors that turn the other way because they have been appointed by the CEO, churches can lack accountability because a clear vector for qualification is missing. This is how wolves enter leadership. Most people think wolves are easily discernible for overtly bad behavior. But Jesus doesn't take that view. In fact, he believes they can be very difficult to detect. As Scriptural literacy continues to fall within the church, evasion, including self-deception by the well-intended, is easy. Meaning: a wolf may not even know he is one due to self-deception and prideful Scriptural illiteracy.
