More quotes by 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
It is not enough for us to be where God is worshipped, if we do not ourselves worship him.
Matthew Henry
Image
Seducers are more dangerous enemies to the church than persecutors.
Matthew Henry
Image
The anger of a meek man is like fire struck out of steel, hard to be got out, and when it is, soon gone.
Matthew Henry
Image
It is common for those that are farthest from God, to boast themselves most of their being near to the Church.
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
Those who deceive others, deceive themselves, as they will find at last, to their cost.
Matthew Henry
Image
The Bible is a letter God has sent to us prayer is a letter we send to him.
Matthew Henry
Image
Men cannot expect to do ill and fare well, but to find that done to them which they did to others.
Matthew Henry
Image
The flower of youth never appears more beautiful than when it bends toward the sun of righteousness.
Matthew Henry
Image
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.
Matthew Henry
Image
Brotherly love is still the distinguishing badge of every true Christian.
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
All this and heaven too.
Matthew Henry
Image
If we would be angry and not sin, we must be angry at nothing but sin and we should be more jealous for the glory of God than for any interest or reputation of our own.
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
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
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
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
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
