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
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
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
ThanksGiving is good but ThanksLiving is better.
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
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
Wherever the fear of God rules in the heart, it will appear both in works of charity and piety, and neither will excuse us from the other.
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
Anger cannot rest in the bosom where love reigns.
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
It is good for us to keep some account of our prayers, that we may not unsay them in our practice.
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
To a good man, God gives not only wisdom and knowledge, but joy.
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
I thank Thee first because I was never robbed before second, because although they took my purse they did not take my life third, because although they took my all, it was not much and fourth because it was I who was robbed, and not I who robbed.
Matthew Henry
Image
Man takes a great deal of pains to heap up riches, and they are but like heaps of manure in the furrows of the field, good for nothing unless they be spread.
Matthew Henry
Image
The flower of youth never appears more beautiful than when it bends toward the sun of righteousness.
Matthew Henry
Image
Take Jesus for your king, and by baptism swear allegiance to him take him for your prophet, and hear him take him for your priest, to make atonement for you.
Matthew Henry
Image
God's favour is happiness.
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.
