It is good for us to keep some account of our prayers, that we may not unsay them in our practice.
Matthew Henry
Image
A man that is endued with the powers of reason, by which he is capable of knowing, serving, glorifying, and enjoying his Maker, and yet lives without God in the world, is certainly the most despicable and the most miserable animal under the sun.
Matthew Henry
Image
If therefore our houses be houses of the Lord, we shall for that reason love home, reckoning our daily devotion the sweetest of our daily delights, and our family worship the most valuable of our family comforts. This will sanctify to us all the conveniences of our houses, and reconcile us to the inconveniences of it.
Matthew Henry
Image
None shall be saved by Christ but those only who work out their own salvation while God is working in them by His truth and His Holy Spirit. We cannot do without God and God will not do without us.
Matthew Henry
Image
God is either your worst enemy or your best friend.
Matthew Henry

Were we to think more of our own mistakes and offences, we should be less apt to judge other people.
Matthew Henry
Image
As if men did not die fast enough, they are ingenious at finding out ways to destroy one another.
Matthew Henry

God's promises are to be our pleas in prayer.
Matthew Henry

None can know their election but by their conformity to the image of Christ for all that are chosen are chosen to sanctification.
Matthew Henry

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
None so blind as those who will not see.
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
The more reverence we have for the Word of God, the more joy we shall find in it.
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
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
The flower of youth never appears more beautiful than when it bends toward the sun of righteousness.
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
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
...When we are waiting upon God to bless us, we should stir up ourselves to bless him.
Matthew Henry
Image
The grace that saves them is the free undeserved goodness and favor of God.
