The Making of a Preacher
From the first lecture:
But let me say right here this preacher must be God's man-called of God to this business, saying, "This ONE thing I do"; "Woe is me if I preach not the Gospel"; conferring not with flesh and blood, but inquiring, "What wilt Thou have me to do?" and knowing by the Holy Ghost that he is a chosen vessel of God; the answer of the entire being is "Here am I; send me."
God alone can call a man to the ministry. This is a Divine prerogative. No sovereign would allow another to appoint his ministers. The Sovereign of the universe calls whom He will. Christ is the head of the Church, and He makes known to the Church that waits for guidance, whom He designates by the Holy Spirit. "Casting lots" or an apostle never was God's method. Jeroboam dared to make priests of others than Levites, and took of the lowest of the people for this high office, but it meant the doom of Israel and ruin for himself. No man taketh this honor unto himself but he that is called of God. Listen to the Word, "I have given your priest's office unto you as a service of gift, and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death." "The prophet which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, shall die." "Behold, I am against the prophets that steal my words." "Woe unto the foolish prophets, that have followed their own spirit, and have seen nothing." "The Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work WHEREUNTO I HAVE CALLED THEM." When God gave the plan of the Tabernacle to even the most minute detail, He also "called Bezaleel and filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom and understanding and in all manner of workmanship, to devise cunning work, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in cutting of stones, to set them, and in cutting of timber to work in all manner of workmanship," and it may be granted He would not have men to enter on the greatest work to which a mortal can be called, without the leading, inspiration and equipment of the Holy Spirit.
