Peace is such a precious jewel that I would give anything for it but truth.
Matthew Henry

It is not enough for us to be where God is worshipped, if we do not ourselves worship him.
Matthew Henry
Image
That which is won ill, will never wear well, for there is a curse attends it, which will waste it and the same corrupt dispositions which incline men to the sinful ways of getting, will incline them to the like sinful ways of spending.
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

Matthew Henry
Image
Holy joy will be oil to the wheels of our obedience.
Matthew Henry
Image
Those that go gold into the furnace will come out no worse.
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
Image
Man takes a great deal of pains to heap up riches, and they are but like heaps of manure in the furrows of the field, good for nothing unless they be spread.
Matthew Henry
Image
Brotherly love is still the distinguishing badge of every true Christian.
Matthew Henry
Image
Their own second and sober thoughts.
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
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
Christ is our temple, in whom by faith all believers meet.
Matthew Henry
Image
Why wilt thou be so sottish, such an enemy to thyself, as to prefer puddle-water, and that poisoned too and stolen, before pure living waters out of thy own well?
Matthew Henry
