Is the bar too low?

I am beginning to like the term "trials of ordination." The idea behind trying someone is that the presbytery would determine whether or not God has indeed called/gifted/qualified this man to serve as a pastor within the church. So, when the presbytery comes together, it is tasked with putting the man through a series of written and oral tests to make this determination. I have recently been surprised by what I have heard men say (or their silence) when they were being "tried" (examined).

Being in the ministry is difficult enough as it is without the nagging question in the back of your mind as to whether or not God has truly called you to serve as a pastor. There will certainly come a time when you will begin to wonder whether or not you are in the right place. And if you don't know if you are called to serve as a pastor, then you will quite easily jump ship and forsake your ordination vows for some other position.

My concern here is that we have lowered the bar so low that even those who are uncertain of their calling are entering the pulpits of the church and yet they don't know if that is their place. These men are standing in a position where they are to proclaim the truth of God's Word with clarity, specificity and application. But the bar is so low that I wonder if they are doing any of the above.

Maybe this is God's way of disciplining His people for their sin: "I will give you leaders who do not lead; pastors who can not pastor; shepherds who will not shepherd."
