Matthew Henry
Image
The best we can say to God in prayer, is what He has said to us.
Matthew Henry
Image
A state of apostasy is worse than a state of ignorance.
Matthew Henry

Though we cannot by our prayers give God any information, yet we must by our prayers give him honor.
Matthew Henry
Image
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
None are sent empty away from Christ but those who come to him full of themselves.
Matthew Henry
Image
He rolls it under his tongue as a sweet morsel.
Matthew Henry
Image
Riches are a blessing or a curse to a man according as he has or has not a heart to make good use of them.
