Those who deceive others, deceive themselves, as they will find at last, to their cost.
Matthew Henry
Image
No creature hath the like resemblance to the divine nature, as light hath. He doth not only dwell in light, but he is light. Light is a pure, bright, clear, spiritual, unmixed substance. God is infinitely so.

Why wilt thou be so sottish, such an enemy to thyself, as to prefer puddle-water, and that poisoned too and stolen, before pure living waters out of thy own well?
Matthew Henry
Image
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
Image
The flower of youth never appears more beautiful than when it bends toward the sun of righteousness.
Matthew Henry
Image
No man will say, There is no God 'till he is so hardened in sin that it has become his interest that there should be none to call him to account.
Matthew Henry
Image
Prayer time must be kept up as duly as meal-time.
Matthew Henry
Image
He rolls it under his tongue as a sweet morsel.
Matthew Henry
Image
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

Not lost, but gone before.
