The Passion for Souls John Jowett

Publisher Marketing: If you are like most "Christians" you keep seeking how to get ahead in the money realm. A bigger nicer house, better cars, more stuff for the kids. To amass more for your future retirement. Yes it's also for your family. But what about the family next door? The dad and mom next door that do not know Christ. You know they are on their way to Hell. Both the parents and the children. Or the fellow student at school or your fellow worker at work. What about them? You know God gives you life so that He can get to those other people through you. By your love and witness of your life in Christ. Of course first repent of all sin, live fully for Christ and then seek earnestly to get your neighbor saved. How? By praying for them. And then looking for opportunities to share the gospel with your neighbor. As earnestly as you seek to amass money, and retirement funds, and material goods. If you just did the same and put forth the same effort and time into reaching your neighbors for Christ you would then have treasures and eternal gratefulness from all those who came to Christ because of your witness. You have a choice: Live for and amass a little money here on the earth - which evaporates when you die. Or live for and seek to get others saved and safe in Christ and see them for an eternity in heaven when you die - an eternally precious desire that God seeks and desires. Contributor Bio:  Jowett, John From Christian Classics Ethereal Library: John Henry Jowett was one of the most beloved preachers of the early 20th century. His sermons boasted a fine balance of practicality, expressiveness, and depth of knowledge; Jowett had a rare ability to relate to almost every congregant from his pulpit. The 1907 issue of British Weekly, after surveying its readership, ranked Jowett as Britain's "most appealing preacher," over and above even F. B. Meyer, G. Campbell Morgan, and others. In 1913, Jowett published "Things That Matter Most," a collection of short devotionals. "In these days of incessant movement," his preface reads, it serves us well "that we have interludes when the soul can correct her conscious and unconscious wanderings by the contemplation of the serene and majestic things of God." Meditating on sin, grace, redemption, and developing the Christian life, "Things That Matter Most" gives readers a place to pause and listen for God's voice.
