The Heart and Head calls are internal. The next confirmation is External.Skill Confirmation.
Sometimes the bar is set too low. You see this happen when someone is so outgoing, over the top passionate, about sharing Jesus, developing that persons character and skill is overlooked. This plays out when churches or people say to this guy, "man, you just need to preach!"
But sometimes the bar is too high and unreachable. Some churches will not even consider a called man unless he has a Masters degree. The problem of no character development still could be a issue here.
Darrin Patrick lists some questions that one needs to consider.
From the Skill Perspective:
Does he have a working knowledge of the whole scripture?
Can he articulate the gospel story throughout Scripture?
Does he understand controversial verses that have caused division in church history (Calvinism vs. Arminianism)?
Can he explain the Christ-centered nature of Christian theology?
From a Character Perspective:
Can he inspire the church for mission?
Can he cast vision for the church and inspire people to pursue that vision with him?
Can he organize the church to reach its goals?
Can he set up systems and structures that run apart from his direct influence?
From Jim Collin's analogy, the job of the leader is to get the right people on the bus, the wrong people off the bus and the right people in the right seats.
Be Blessed,
Pastor Tim
