The Internal and External "Call"

"This is not the place to go into detail about the 'call to ministry'. Suffice to say that the preacher should have two calls--the one internal and the other external. . . . The external call is the church's confirmation of the internal call and involves the church's examination of the preacher's motives, gifts, character and Christian experience" (David Murray, How Sermons Work, 12).
