The Passion For Souls And Things That Matter Most
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.

John Henry Jowett was born in Halifax, England in 1864. Jowett's father had arranged for him to begin working as a clerk for a lawyer in Halifax, but the encouragement of his Sunday school teacher, Mr. Dewhirst, turned Jowett's heart toward the ministry.
After theological training at Edinburgh and Oxford, Jowett assumed the pastorate of the Saint James Congregational Church. His six effective years of ministry brought him to the attention of the Carr's Lane Church in Birmingham, England, on the death of their pastor. For the next fifteen years the church grew and prospered. Their pastor's vision led them to increase their efforts to bring people to Christ. In 1917, the mayor of Birmingham said the church had changed the town with "crime and drunkenness having decreased."
Jowett came to America for the first time in 1909 to address the Northfield Conference founded by D. L. Moody. While in America he preached twice at the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church in New York. The church immediately asked him to come as its pastor. Jowett refused, having received a petition, signed by more than 1,400 members of his church in England, begging him to stay. The Fifth Avenue Church called him again, and then a third time. Finally Jowett concluded that this was God's leading for his life. He assumed the pastorate in 1911.
Although his preaching style was not dynamic (he read all of his sermons), the depth of his knowledge, the clarity of his language, and the power of his life commanded respect. Attendance at the church which had dropped to 600 on Sunday morning rose to 1,500. Lines up to half a block long formed, waiting for unclaimed seats. Jowett began preparing his Sunday sermons on Tuesday, following a meticulously detailed schedule.
When G. Campbell Morgan resigned the Westminster Chapel in London in 1917, Dr. Jowett once again crossed the ocean to take a new church. This would be his final pastorate. Declining health forced him to give up preaching in 1922, and his death in 1923 took from the world one of its most gifted and dedicated preachers.
