More quotes by Matthew Henry
Though we cannot by our prayers give God any information, yet we must by our prayers give him honor.
Matthew Henry
It is a sin against God not to pray for the Israel of God, especially for those of them that are under our charge. Good men are afraid of the guilt of omissions ( I Samuel 12).
Matthew Henry
A man that is endued with the powers of reason, by which he is capable of knowing, serving, glorifying, and enjoying his Maker, and yet lives without God in the world, is certainly the most despicable and the most miserable animal under the sun.
Matthew Henry
The grace that saves them is the free undeserved goodness and favor of God.
Matthew Henry
Whatever we have of this world in our hands, our care must be to keep it out of our hearts, lest it come between us and Christ.
Matthew Henry
For love is of God. He is the fountain, author, parent, and commander of love it is the sum of his law and gospel.
Matthew Henry
If we would be angry and not sin, we must be angry at nothing but sin and we should be more jealous for the glory of God than for any interest or reputation of our own.
Matthew Henry
They that die by famine die by inches.
Matthew Henry
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.
Matthew Henry
The better day, the worse deed.
Matthew Henry
The prayers and supplications that Christ offered up were, joined with strong cries and tears, herein setting us example not only to pray, but to be fervent and importunate in prayer. How many dry prayers, how few wet ones, do we offer up to God!
Matthew Henry
Those, and those only, can expect to be taught by God, who are ready and willing to do as they are taught... Those who go up to the house of the Lord with an expectation that He will teach them His ways, must go with a humble resolution that they will walk in His paths.
Matthew Henry
We should take heed of pride it is a sin that turned angels into devils.
Matthew Henry
Peace is such a precious jewel that I would give anything for it but truth.
Matthew Henry
He rolls it under his tongue as a sweet morsel.
Matthew Henry
Love is the root obedience is the fruit.
Matthew Henry
God's promises are to be our pleas in prayer.
Matthew Henry
Those that forget to attend God with their praises may perhaps be compelled to attend him with their prayers.
Matthew Henry
ThanksGiving is good but ThanksLiving is better.
Matthew Henry
That which is won ill, will never wear well, for there is a curse attends it, which will waste it and the same corrupt dispositions which incline men to the sinful ways of getting, will incline them to the like sinful ways of spending.
Matthew Henry
