More quotes by Matthew Henry

Image
What we count the ills of life are often blessings in disguise, resulting in good to us in the end. Though for the present not joyous but grievous, yet, if received in a right spirit, they work out fruits of righteousness for us at last.
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
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
When God is about to give His people the expected good, He pours out a Spirit of prayer, and it is a good sign that He is coming towards them in mercy.
Matthew Henry
Image
We have no sufficient strength of our own. All our sufficiency is of God. We should stir up ourselves to resist temptations in a reliance upon God's all-sufficiency and the omnipotence of his might.
Matthew Henry

Anger cannot rest in the bosom where love reigns.
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
The best we can say to God in prayer, is what He has said to us.
Matthew Henry
Image
Love is the root obedience is the fruit.
Matthew Henry
Image
Poor people are as much in danger from an inordinate desire towards the wealth of the world as rich from an inordinate delight in it.
Matthew Henry
Image
To a good man, God gives not only wisdom and knowledge, but joy.
Matthew Henry
Image
Christ is our temple, in whom by faith all believers meet.
Matthew Henry
Image
That which God plants he will take care to keep watered.
Matthew Henry
Image
As if men did not die fast enough, they are ingenious at finding out ways to destroy one another.
Matthew Henry
Image
Come, and see the victories of the cross. Christ's wounds are thy healings, His agonies thy repose, His conflicts thy conquests, His groans thy songs, His pains thine ease, His shame thy glory, His death thy life, His sufferings thy salvation.
Matthew Henry

Their own second and sober thoughts.

The Bible is a letter God has sent to us prayer is a letter we send to him.
