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
Prayer is the midwife of mercy, that helps to bring it forth.
Matthew Henry
Image
They that pray in the family do well they that pray and read the Scriptures do better but they that pray, and read, and sing do best of all.
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
So great was the extremity of his pain and anguish, that he did not only sigh but roar.

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
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
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
Prayer time must be kept up as duly as meal-time.
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
No sooner was the wound given than the remedy was provided and revealed.
Matthew Henry
Image
Those who have a heart to do good, never need complain for want of opportunity.
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
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.

Men of polite learning and a liberal education.
