Discernment is the ability to perceive, understand, and judge things clearly, especially those that are not obvious or straightforward.
I love those pastors that have the ability to preach and serve correctly. I can immediately tell when there’s a pastor that controls not just the church, but it’s members and everything that is happening in the church. example, if the pastor of the church knows which members are tithing and which ones are not, this is a flag. Another example if you attend the church members meeting and they ask you to vote for something, but your vote really doesn’t count, for the decision was already made. This is a flag. The biggest example will pprobably be those members that are chosen or there’s favoritism on their behalf from the leader, for the members that are yes sir, away, even if it is not correct. These are blind Christians, with no discernment. A good pastor can not be a show off, but humble, and he admits that he’s not perfect and counts on the body of Christ, for their assistance. there’s some good news. There are many good pastors out there, but the bad ones are rapidly catching up.
