Preaching & Preachers: The Preacher, part 2

Chapter 6 of Lloyd-Jones book Preaching & Preachers deals with the preacher himself. The second section deals with how a church can know if a man is called to preach. It is the churches responsibility, after all, to train, ordain, and send out preachers, so there must be some way to know if a man can be a preacher. The man must:

1. Filled with the Spirit
2. Have a godly character
3. Have wisdom
4. Have patience and forbearance 
5. Have an understanding of people and human nature
6. He must have the mental ability 
7. He must have the gift of speech
