Image
God's promises are to be our pleas in prayer.
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
None live so easily, so pleasantly, as those that live by faith.
Matthew Henry
Image
Those who have a heart to do good, never need complain for want of opportunity.
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
Anger cannot rest in the bosom where love reigns.
Matthew Henry
Image
Blushing is the colour of virtue.
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
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
Those who will not deliver themselves into the hand of God's mercy cannot be delivered out of the hand of His justice.
Matthew Henry
Image
What harrowing is after sowing, the same is meditation after hearing--it hides the word.
Matthew Henry
Image
Esther came to a proud imperious man we come to the God of love and grace.
Matthew Henry
Image
None so blind as those who will not see.
Matthew Henry
Image
What God requires of us he himself works in us, or it is not done. He that commands faith, holiness, and love, creates them by the power of his grace going along with his word, that he may have all the praise.
Matthew Henry
Image
All this and heaven too.
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
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
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
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
Were we to think more of our own mistakes and offences, we should be less apt to judge other people.
Matthew Henry
