The kingdom of heaven was never intended to indulge the ease of triflers, but to the rest of them that labor.
Matthew Henry
Image

A state of apostasy is worse than a state of ignorance.
Matthew Henry

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

There is one death bed repentance recorded in the Bible (the thief on the cross), so that no one despair, but there is ONLY one, so that no one will presume.
Matthew Henry
Image
Pure Christianity and serious godliness fear not the scrutiny of a free thought, but despise the impotent malice of a prejudiced one.
Matthew Henry
Image
...When we are waiting upon God to bless us, we should stir up ourselves to bless him.
Matthew Henry
Image
We must believe that He is able to do what He will, wise to do what is best, and good, according to His promise, to do what is best for us, if we love Him, and serve Him.
Matthew Henry
Image
The grace that saves them is the free undeserved goodness and favor of God.
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
. . . when we cannot do the good we would, we must be ready to do the good we can.
Matthew Henry
Image
Esther came to a proud imperious man we come to the God of love and grace.
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.
