Image
None are sent empty away from Christ but those who come to him full of themselves.
Matthew Henry
Image
When we are calling to God to turn the eye of His favor towards us He is calling to us to turn the eye of our obedience towards Him.
Matthew Henry
Image
Prayer is the midwife of mercy, that helps to bring it forth.
Matthew Henry
Image
What harrowing is after sowing, the same is meditation after hearing--it hides the word.
Matthew Henry
Image
Brotherly love is still the distinguishing badge of every true Christian.
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
Do nothing till thou hast well considered the end of it.
Matthew Henry
Image
Those who have a heart to do good, never need complain for want of opportunity.
Matthew Henry
Image
To a good man, God gives not only wisdom and knowledge, but joy.
Matthew Henry
Image
The counsels and decrees of God do not truckle to the frail and fickle will of man.
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
In all God's providences, it is good to compare His word and His works together for we shall find a beautiful harmony between them, and that they mutually illustrate each other.
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
None so blind as those who will not see.
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
No creature hath the like resemblance to the divine nature, as light hath. He doth not only dwell in light, but he is light. Light is a pure, bright, clear, spiritual, unmixed substance. God is infinitely so.
Matthew Henry
Image
Eve was not taken out of Adam's head to top him, neither out of his feet to be trampled on by him, but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected by him, and near his heart to be loved by him.
Matthew Henry
Image
He rolls it under his tongue as a sweet morsel.
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 kingdom of heaven was never intended to indulge the ease of triflers, but to the rest of them that labor.
