Image
Come, and see the victories of the cross. Christ's wounds are thy healings, His agonies thy repose, His conflicts thy conquests, His groans thy songs, His pains thine ease, His shame thy glory, His death thy life, His sufferings thy salvation.
Matthew Henry
Image
Those that have so much power over others as to be able to oppress them have seldom so much over themselves as not to oppress.
Matthew Henry
Image
Meekness is calm confidence, settled assurance, and rest of the soul. It is the tranquil stillness of a soul that is at rest in Christ. It is the place of peace. Meekness springs from a heart of humility, radiating the fragrance of Christ.

Be careful if you make a women cry, because God counts her tears. The woman came out of a man’s ribs. Not from his feet to be walked on, not from his head to be superior, but from his side to be equal, under the arm to be protected, and next to the heart to be loved.
Matthew Henry
Image
A garment that is double dyed, dipped again and again, will retain the color a great while so a truth which is the subject of meditation.

Brown bread and the Gospel is good fare.
Matthew Henry
Image
. . . when we cannot do the good we would, we must be ready to do the good we can.
