More quotes by Matthew Henry

Image
He rolls it under his tongue as a sweet morsel.
Matthew Henry
Image
What God requires of us he himself works in us, or it is not done. He that commands faith, holiness, and love, creates them by the power of his grace going along with his word, that he may have all the praise.
Matthew Henry
Image
Pure Christianity and serious godliness fear not the scrutiny of a free thought, but despise the impotent malice of a prejudiced one.
Matthew Henry
Image
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
Image
The first lesson in Christ's school is self-denial.

Blushing is the colour of virtue.
Matthew Henry

None are sent empty away from Christ but those who come to him full of themselves.
Matthew Henry
Image
Shallows where a lamb could wade and depths where an elephant would drown.
Matthew Henry
Image
It is not enough for us to be where God is worshipped, if we do not ourselves worship him.
Matthew Henry
Image
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
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.
Matthew Henry
Image
The kingdom of heaven was never intended to indulge the ease of triflers, but to the rest of them that labor.
Matthew Henry
Image
Christ died. He left a will in which He gave His soul to His Father, His body to Joseph of Arimathea, His clothes to the soldiers, and His mother to John. But to His disciples, who had left all to follow Him, He left not silver or gold, but something far better-His PEACE!
Matthew Henry
Image
It is good for us to keep some account of our prayers, that we may not unsay them in our practice.
