Quote

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.

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
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
Those that go gold into the furnace will come out no worse.
Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry

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

Matthew Henry
Image
So great was the extremity of his pain and anguish, that he did not only sigh but roar.
Matthew Henry
Image
Tears are a tribute to our deceased friends. When the body is sown, it must be watered. But we must not sorrow as those that have no hope for we have a good hope through grace both concerning them and concerning ourselves.
Matthew Henry
Image
Nothing can make a man truly great but being truly good, and partaking of God's holiness.
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
We have no sufficient strength of our own. All our sufficiency is of God. We should stir up ourselves to resist temptations in a reliance upon God's all-sufficiency and the omnipotence of his might.
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
Every tear of sorrow sown by the righteous springs up a pearl.
Matthew Henry
Image
Days of trouble must be days of prayer.
Matthew Henry
Image
The counsels and decrees of God do not truckle to the frail and fickle will of man.
Matthew Henry
Image
The more reverence we have for the Word of God, the more joy we shall find in it.
Matthew Henry
