Not lost, but gone before.
Matthew Henry
Image
It is good for us to keep some account of our prayers, that we may not unsay them in our practice.
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.
Matthew Henry
Image
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
Image
Peace is such a precious jewel that I would give anything for it but truth.
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
Image
Those who teach by their doctrine must teach by their life, or else they pull down with one hand what they build up with the other.
Matthew Henry
Image
He rolls it under his tongue as a sweet morsel.
Matthew Henry
Image
We must believe that He is able to do what He will, wise to do what is best, and good, according to His promise, to do what is best for us, if we love Him, and serve Him.
Matthew Henry
Image
He that is in haste may contract much guilt in a little time. What we say or do unadvisedly when we are hot, we must unsay or undo again when we are cool, or do worse.
Matthew Henry
Image
None are sent empty away from Christ but those who come to him full of themselves.
Matthew Henry
Image
Riches are a blessing or a curse to a man according as he has or has not a heart to make good use of them.
Matthew Henry
Image
The God of Israel is sometimes a God who hides Himself, but never a God who absents Himself sometimes in the dark, but never at a distance.
Matthew Henry
Image
Scriptures were written, not to satisfy our curiosity and make us astronomers, but to lead us to God, and make us saints.
Matthew Henry
Image
Tears are a tribute to our deceased friends. When the body is sown, it must be watered. But we must not sorrow as those that have no hope for we have a good hope through grace both concerning them and concerning ourselves.
Matthew Henry
Image
They that die by famine die by inches.
Matthew Henry
Image
Christ is our temple, in whom by faith all believers meet.
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
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
Image
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
