Matthew Henry

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
Many a dangerous temptation comes to us in gay, fine colours, that are but skin-deep.
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
Their own second and sober thoughts.

Those that set God always before them and walk before him with all their hearts, shall find him as good as his word and better he will both keep covenant with them and show mercy to them.
