HUMILITY 1.1 Another element of a call is a deep and abiding sense of personal weakness and unworthiness. He who feels aright in view of the difficulties and responsibilities of the work, must with Paul say, "Who is sufficient for these things ?" (21/28-29) There is reason to think that it was this sense or unworthiness before God which was one of the ultimate obstacles to his clear conviction that he was indeed being called to the ministry of the gospel. And the final resolution of that difficulty was not the removal of his sense of unworthiness, but the persuasion that God loved him, and had saved him, in spite of all that he deserved. Salvation is bestowed wholly apart from any human merit. No words explain better than the above what took Dr. Lloyd-Jones into the ministry. As well as knowing conviction of sin and a profound sense of unworthiness, he drank at the fountain head of redeeming love. Speaking of what that love meant to him in the critical years 1925-26 he testified at the end of his life: I must say that in that little study at our home in Regency Street, and in my research room next to the post-mortem room at Barts, I had some remarkable experiences. It was entirely Gods doing. I have known what it is to be really filled with a joy unspeakable and full of glory (9/101) 2. BURDEN 2.1 By the time he [John Murray] graduated in 1923 his mind was decisively made up, captured by the conviction that he considered an essential part of the call to the Christian ministry. Woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel. (5/12) More important still, behind this advice there is the basic truth that God always give a clear call to those whom He has chosen for the ministry so that when that call comes they can do nothing other than respond to it. They will not be able to say no to it. It follows that if someone thinks he may be called to the ministry but is not absolutely certain, then he should wait until he is sure. God does not give uncertain calls. (20/16) It is by no means unknown that those who become ministers of the gospel should have a sense of that calling given to them before they are converted. Not now in the sense of an occasional premonition but with a compulsion from which he could scarcely escape. (9/81) To make such about Gods call we must define our terms. By call we mean the unmistakable conviction an individual possesses that God wants him to do a specific task. (20/14) 3. LOVE 3.1 Reading Mrs. Judsons Life, I felt as if I could willingly labour as a missionary, or do anything to save one soul. (12/9) Happy in my work as I [Paton] felt, and successful by the blessing of God, yet I continually heardthe wail of the perishing Heathen in the South Seas; and I saw that few were caring for them, while I well know that many would be ready to take up my work in Calton, and carry it forward perhaps with more efficiency than myself. Without revealing the state of my mind to any person, this was the supreme subject of my daily meditation and prayer; and this also led me to enter upon those medical studies, in which I purposed taking the full course; (6/52) 4. NEED 4.1 Billy had the inestimable benefit of rubbing the shoulders (or at least wiping the boots) of the great. He listened attentively as they discoursed on the decline of religion in America - church budgets low, church buildings emptying, church preaching blunted and confused. These old stalwarts who had seen the fires die down had one theme: We need a prophet. We need a man to call America back to God. A "tremendous burden" began to weigh on Billy Graham. (11/23) Lack of other qualified men: The Lord kept saying within me, Since none better qualified can be got, rise and offer yourself! Almost overpowering was the impulse to answer aloud, Here I am, send me (6/53) A remark of my brother Horace [Bonar] went far to satisfy me about missionary labour. He spoke about the need of labourers and ministers at home, and the witness for Christs Second Coming borne by few in this land. That may be part of our work. (12/30) The wail and the claims of the Heathen were constantly sounding in my ears. I saw them perishing for lack of the knowledge of the true God and His Son Jesus, while my Green Street people had the open Bible and all the means of grace within easy reach, which, if they rejected, they did so willfully and at their own peril. (6/53-54) 5. ENTHUSIASM 5.1 In 1 Timothy 3:1 the apostle Paul has written, "If any man aspires to the office of overseer, it is a fine work he desires to do." The word translated "aspires" is (oregomai), a word occurring only three times in the New Testament. It means "to stretch oneself out in order to touch or to grasp something, to reach after or desire something."" It pictures a runner lunging for the finish line. The second time the word appears is in 1 Timothy 6:10 where it is translated "longing" related to money, which is the object of so much love as to make it the very foundation for "all sorts of evil." The third usage is in Hebrews 11:16 where it is rendered "desire," with the object of desire being a "better country." So each context determines how legitimate the stretching and reaching is. The second word speaking of inner compulsion in 1 Timothy 3:1 is (epithume), a verb meaning "to set one's heart upon, desire, lust after, covet. ,16 The noun form of this verb usually has a bad sense, but the verb has primarily a good or neutral sense, which expresses a particularly strong desire. This aspiration for the ministry is therefore an inward impulse that releases itself in outward desire. Sanders noted that it is not the office but the work that is the object desired." It must be a desire for service, not for position, fame, or fortune. So this aspiration is good as long as it is for the right reasons. (18/89,90) I am deeply conscious of the great responsibility that now rests upon me and will rest upon me in the future, to maintain with undiminished energy and vigour, the work which I have begun. (9/83) John Ryle a nineteenth century Bishop of Liverpool had no early sense of call, and when he shared his decision to enter the ministry it came as a complete surprise to everyone. His explanation was I felt shut up to do it and saw no other course of life open to me. And thus it has ever been. Such advice makes good sense about any employment. Where possible we should enjoy what we do. In life, and engage in it with enthusiasm. Few make any impact for good upon others if they work half-heartedly. The ministry demands much of a man and his family. (20/15) Kindred to the foregoing is a high estimate of the office itself, and of its appropriate labors, pleasures, and consolations. He is not fit for the ministry who cannot find in its peculiar duties and enjoyments a satisfaction which he cannot find in any other employment. Paul says the ministry is " a good work." (21/30) 6. PRAYER 6.1 He usually concluded his prayers with the supplication that he should be suitably prepared to enter into the "Gospel-Ministry" to which his mother had dedicated him." (13/7) But I [Paton] was dreadfully afraid of mistaking my mere human emotions for the will of God. So I resolved to make it a subject of close deliberation and prayer for a few days longer, and to look at the proposals from every possible aspect. (6/53-54) He was convinced that, being shy, he did not relate easily or naturally to other people. In particular, he felt (as he still feels) acute difficulty in speaking to children. This, he argued to himself, was inevitably going to cause him difficulties in ministry. Yet he was convinced that whatever the difficulties he wanted to minister to the people of God. Finally, during his third year at Oxford, in 1946, Packer spent a long Sunday afternoon thinking and praying about his future. (7/30) I set apart this day for fasting, and prayer to God for his grace; especially to prepare me for the work of the ministry, to give me divine aid and direction in my preparations for that great work, and in his own time to send me into his harvest. I especially gave up myself to him renewed in the work of the ministry. And this I did by divine grace, I hope, without any exception or reserve; not in the least shrinking back from any difficulties that might attend this great and blessed work. . (10/80; 10/196) 7. PROVIDENCE 7.1 Nevertheless, the people continued to press their gratitude upon him until finally he reportedly offered this solution: "I will tell you what must be done with the moneyThere is a very promising young man, now studying divinity to the North; whose parents are very hard scuffed, and find great difficulty in supporting him at his studies. I will take this money, and it shall be given him to help him throughand when he is licensed, he shall come and be your preacher." This young man, of course, was Samuel Davies, and the money solved his financial problems, making it possible for him to devote himself fully to his studies. (13/9) To the foregoing must be added those headings of Providence which throw light on Scripture as well as receive light from it. These are many. They differ vastly in various cases. But commonly they relate to the removal of entangling hindrances in our way, to hedging up our way in other courses, to sending afflictions, which off from pursuits which seemed to be proper, and to giving the means and opportunity of gaining the know Skill, and experience requisite to the right performs the duties of the ministry. (21/34) 7.2 By June 1926 the struggle was over. He knew what the future must be. It was almost as though the decision was made for him and he could resist it no longer: Whatever authority I may have as a preacher is not the result of any decision on my part. It was Gods hand that laid hold of me, and drew me out and separated me to this work. (9/101) 8. GIFTING 8.1 William Gordon Blaikie also ministered in London about the same time as Spurgeon. He too saw the importance of a call to the ministry and gave six criteria for evaluating a call: salvation, desire to serve, desire to live a life conducive to service, intellectual ability, physical qualifications, and social elements. (18/82,83) Newton found three indications of a call to the ministry: desire, competence, and the providence of God. He termed the third indication "a correspondent opening in providence, by a gradual train of circumstances pointing out the means, the time, the place, of actually entering upon the work." (18/85) Many a man has thought himself a prime candidate for the ministry, because he loved God and was the debate champion in college. As important as these assets are, unless God has selectively gifted the man for the ministry, he labors in vain who builds the house (Ps. 127:1). Besides the speaking gifts of preaching and teaching, usually considered essential for the ministry, Spurgeon also suggested several other qualifications: I should not complete this point if I did not add, that mere ability to edify, and aptness to teach is not enough; there must be other talents to complete the pastoral character. Sound judgment and solid experience must instruct you; gentle manners and loving affections must sway you; firmness and courage must be manifest and tenderness and sympathy must not be lacking. Gifts administrative in ruling well will be as requisite as gifts instructive in teaching well." (18/87) 8.2 None seemed prepared for the Heathen field; many were capable and ready for the Calton service. My medical studies as well as my literary and divinity training, had specially qualified me in some ways for the Foreign field, and from every aspect at which I could look the whole facts in the face, the voice within me sounded like a voice from God. (6/53-54) Some conversation with friends has led me to think much of being a missionary, and my aptitude to learn languages has struck me as a qualification. (12/9) 9. PRIORITIES 9.1 Awful struggle in my soul. In reading Henry Martyn, saw that I must give up all earthly friends, the most loved even, if I should be called by God to such work as he in other lands. Have not been much tempted with the love of friends of late: nor have I had that great sorrow that I once had. I feel sometime quite willing to give up all things and go to the heathen, if the Lord call me. I think this state of mind is in answer to a time of special prayer which I observed, asking the Lord to enable me when here to spend my time profitably. (12/17) I [MLJ] was with Bethan. I really think that she is now about as determined about Wales as I am leuan, she almost makes a vital difference to me and yet when she asked me the other day whether she or Wales came first, I had to say that Wales came first. That was certainly the most awful question I have yet been asked during my life. She was great enough to say that she thought still more of me for saying that. (9/82-83) 10. DETERMINATION 10.1 We shall have a hard struggle all the resources of Hell will be against us, but, if I mistake not, and the last few days have given me some experience of it, the effect of the persecution will be to make us feel that what we are now prepared to live for, we shall then be prepared to die for. Is it not a glorious thing to be able to feel that we are fighting in the Great Cause, in the Great Crusade and that ultimately we shall triumph? (9/83) 10.2 When it became known that I was preparing to go abroad as Missionary, nearly all were dead against the proposal, except Dr. Bates and my fellow-student. My dear father and mother, however, when I consulted them, characteristically replied that they had long since given me away to the Lord, and in this matter also would leave me to Gods disposal There were arguments that Green Street Church was doubtless the sphere for which God had given me peculiar qualifications, and in which He had so largely blessed my labours; that if I left those now attending my Classes and Meetings, they might be scattered, and many of them would probably fall away; that I was leaving certainty for uncertainty work in which God had made me greatly useful, for work in which I might fail to be useful, an only throw away my life amongst Cannibals. I replied that my mind was finally resolved; that though I loved my work and my people, yet I felt that I could leave them to the care of Jesus, who would soon provide them a better pastor that I; and that, with regard to my life amongst the Cannibals, as I Had only once to die, I was content to leave the time and place and means in the hand of God, who had already marvelously preserved me when visiting cholera patients and the fever-stricken poor; on that score I had positively no further concern, having left it all absolutely to the Lord, whom I sought to serve and honour, whether in life or by death. Amongst many who sought to deter me, was one dear old Christian gentleman, whose crowning argument always was, The Cannibals! You will be eaten by Cannibals! At last I replied, Mr. Dickson, you are advanced in years now, and your own prospect is soon to be laid in the grave, there to be eaten by worms; I confess to you, that if I can but live and die serving and honouring the Lord Jesus, it will make no difference to me whether I am eaten by Cannibals or by worms; and in the Great Day my resurrection body will arise as fair as yours in the likeness of our risen Redeemer. The old gentleman, raising his hands in a deprecating attitude, left the room exclaiming, After that I have nothing more to say! (6/55-57) 10.3 Although Packer had spent rather longer at Wycliffe Hall than he had originally intended, he had not lost sight of his primary goal. He wanted to be an ordained minister in the Church of England. (7/59) 10.4 The criticisms that appeared in yesterdays paper have naturally served to strengthen my belief in what I have done and what I propose to do. (9/82) 10.5 Why is it so necessary that a person experience internal and external compulsion to ministry? In his classic volume on ministry, Bridges has stated the reason why a call is so important: To labour in the dark, without an assured commission, greatly obscures the warrant of faith in the Divine engagements; and the Minister, unable to avail himself of heavenly support, feels his "hands hang down, and his knees feeble" in his work. On the other hand, the confidence that he is acting in obedience to the call of Godthat he is in His work, and in His waynerves him in the midst of all difficulty, and under a sense of his responsible obligations, with almighty strength.' As Bridges has stated so eloquently, the issue is with the man himself and with his confidence before God. The man is confident that God has commissioned him for a task that only the power of God can sustain. Criswell spoke of this confidence: "The first and foremost of all the inward strengths of the pastor is the conviction, deep as life itself, that God has called him to the ministry. If this persuasion is unshakable, all other elements of the pastor's life will fall into beautiful order and place."' Answering the question, "How important is the assurance of a special call?" Sugden and Wiersbe said, "The work of the ministry is too demanding and difficult for a man to enter it without a sense of divine calling. Men enter and then leave the ministry usually because they lack a sense of divine urgencyLutzer has spoken of the difficulty of ministry as follows: I don't see how anyone could survive in the ministry if he felt it was just his own choice. Some ministers scarcely have two good days back to back. They are sustained by the knowledge that God has placed them where they are. Ministers without such a conviction often lack courage and carry their resignation letter in their coat pocket. At the slightest hint of difficulty, they're gone." (18/83,84) 11. CONFIDENCE 11.1 One part of a call is a comfortable persuasion that weak and unworthy as we are, we may yet hope for needed grace and strength. So God said to the weeping prophet. (21/30) 12. CONFIRMATION 12.1 There was now a prophetic, authoritave element in his mode of speech which led these hearers to wonder whether the hospital and Harley Street were the right place for him. They did not know that Martyn Lloyd-Jones had already reached a decision upon that subject. A pull far more powerful than that of Medicine had entered his life. God had become real to him. The truth which now thrilled him he had rarely heard preached and yet he knew that the same grace which had come to him could bring people everywhere to real Christianity. (9/77) Oh, how Dr. Bates did rejoice and even weep for joy, when I called on him, and offered myself for the New Hebrides Mission! I returned to my lodging with a lighter heart than I had for some time enjoyed, feeling that nothing so clears the vision and lifts up the life, as a decision to move forward in what you know to be entirely the will of the Lord. Next morning Dr. Bates called upon us early, and after a long conversation, commended us and our future work to the Lord God in fervent prayer. (6/54) 12.2 Besides asking if there is confirmation from God, the man seeking to know whether he has the call must ask himself several practical questions: Do others recognize my gifts and leadership abilities? Do they ask me to serve in a leadership capacity? Am I asked to communicate the truths of God through teaching or preaching? Are there those who have suggested that I should consider the ministry? Answers to these questions come only through active involvement in a local church ministry. Receiving public confirmation requires public ministry. This public ministry involves the use of gifts and abilities that others can identify, help develop, and encourage. Without these abilities, confirmation m will be missing. So abilities are an integral part in the process of determining the call. (18/86) 13. TRAINING 13.1 If genuine the desire to be a shepherd and teacher will be nurtured. There will be a desire for preparation and training, since one of the evidences of a call is the possession of the qualifications for it. An obvious example is the knowledge of the Scriptures, and anyone with a call from God will make the most of every opportunity to study them. Opportunities for sharing in the care of others and of teaching and preaching will be seized. These tasks will never be irksome, but sheer joy. As opportunities are taken, people will become aware of the gifts of pastoral care and preaching and will comment on them. Such encouragements will fire the desire to pursue Gods call all the more. (20/20) Another part of a call to the ministry is the possession of the necessary learning and power of explaining and enforcing truth, or the means and desire of acquiring them, No man is called to teach what he does not know, and cannot or will not learn. To pretend the contrary is unreasonable. (21/32) 14. POTENTIAL DISQUALIFICATIONS 14.1 Underwood introduced Billy, whose knees knocked and palms and brow were sticky. Billy began loud and fast, and worked through all four sermons in eight minutes. But Underwood noted that "his delivery was impressive, even that first sermon, because of his sincerity." (11/22) 14.2 He [Graham] believed he would not be a preacher: He was too poorly educated. Yet he began to sense an unmistakable call. Praying aloud as he walked the empty countryside, he answered that call in Moses' words at the burning bush: "They will not believe me, nor harken unto my voice .... I am not eloquent." During the walks at night, he struggled with excuses. His indifferent background might indeed keep him a mediocre preacher "somewhere out in the sticks." Yet any sacrifice appeared trivial beside Christ's sufferings or the world's needs. As for eloquence, the Lord had told Moses, "Go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say." Billy hesitated because for him the call was absolute. If he accepted, he must henceforth have no other ambition, no other occupation but the proclaiming of God's message, everywhere, to everybody, always. The tension snapped. "I remember getting on my knees and saying, 'O God, if you want me to preach, I will do it.'" (11/23) 14.3 God can over-rule wrong motives in deciding to enter the ministry: It was this week that I resolved to enter upon the study of divinity. My chief motive was the indistinct hope and belief that thereby I should be more likely to find salvation, being much taken up, as I thought I must be, with the pursuit of divine things. For I felt myself unsaved, and felt a secret expectation that in the course of my studies in divinity I might be brought to the truth. My inclination for Biblical Criticism, too, and fondness for languages, had much weight, I suspect, in the determination, rather than higher motives. (12/3) God may (very rarely) call a person to the ministry before they are converted: I am to delay entering the Hall, chiefly because I am not yet in a state of grace, though I put it also on the ground of wishing to study more; which I also do wish, but which would not have prevented me going on, had I felt true conversion. I should labour first to be taught of the Spirit myself, before I learn how to teach other men.
