Quotes by John Henry Jowett

God does not comfort us to make us comfortable, but to make us comforters.
John Henry Jowett

Death is not the end; it is only a new beginning. Death is not the master of the house; he is only a porter at the King’s lodge, appointed to open the gate and let the King’s guests into the realm of eternal day.
John Henry Jowett

Worldliness is a spirit, a temperament, an attitude of the soul. It is a life without high callings, life devoid of lofty ideals. It is a gaze always horizontal and never vertical.
John Henry Jowett

Tragically tearless hearts can never be heralds of the Passion of Christ.
John Henry Jowett

The ministry that costs nothing accomplishes nothing.
John Henry Jowett

As soon as we cease to bleed, we cease to be a blessing.
John Henry Jowett

I think one of the cant phrases of our day is the familiar one by which we express our permanent want of time. We repeat it so often that by the very repetition we have deceived ourselves into believing it. It is never the supremely busy men who have no time. So compact and systematic is the regulation of their day that whenever you make a demand on them, they seem to find additional corners to offer for unselfish service. I confess as a minister, that the men to whom I most hopefully look for additional service are the busiest men.
John Henry Jowett
