Compelled

Yesterday, at Prince of Peace, we looked at a paradox we find in the church.  We find that, although we're very concerned about church growth, we're unwilling to share the gospel with those around us.  Despite the call of God, we feel no compulsion to carry it out.  Jeremiah, on the other hand, was Compelled. Even though this wasn't a role he chose for himself, and even though he went through periods where he didn't want to carry it out, he couldn't help himself.  And this should be true of us as well.
