Calling
Calling is a term that is often used to describe to full-time Christian ministry. There is a danger in this though as Scripture doesn't speak of calling in that way. But, if the term of calling is used it is wise to consider it in 3 parts––internal calling, external calling, and formal calling. Internal being the conviction that this is what God has laid on your heart to do. External being the confirmation of your church elders, those that should know you best, in this conviction that you have. Formal calling is the concrete opportunity to work in the field.
