Image
Whatever we have of this world in our hands, our care must be to keep it out of our hearts, lest it come between us and Christ.
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
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
Seducers are more dangerous enemies to the church than persecutors.
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
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
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
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
What harrowing is after sowing, the same is meditation after hearing--it hides the word.
Matthew Henry
Image
The counsels and decrees of God do not truckle to the frail and fickle will of man.
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
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
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
Those that have so much power over others as to be able to oppress them have seldom so much over themselves as not to oppress.
Matthew Henry
Image
None are sent empty away from Christ but those who come to him full of themselves.
Matthew Henry
Image
Men may die like lambs and yet have their place forever with the goats.
Matthew Henry
Image
God is either your worst enemy or your best friend.
Matthew Henry
Image
Peace is such a precious jewel that I would give anything for it but truth.
Matthew Henry
Image
Everlasting life is a jewel of too great a value to be purchased by the wealth of this world.
Matthew Henry
Image
No sooner was the wound given than the remedy was provided and revealed.
