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
God is either your worst enemy or your best friend.
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
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
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
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
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
...When we are waiting upon God to bless us, we should stir up ourselves to bless him.
Matthew Henry
Image
We best oppose error by promoting a solid knowledge of the word of truth, and the greatest kindness we can do to children, is to make them early to know the Bible.
Matthew Henry
Image
It is not enough for us to be where God is worshipped, if we do not ourselves worship him.
Matthew Henry
Image
Those that go gold into the furnace will come out no worse.

Our creature comforts
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.
Matthew Henry
Image
A man that is endued with the powers of reason, by which he is capable of knowing, serving, glorifying, and enjoying his Maker, and yet lives without God in the world, is certainly the most despicable and the most miserable animal under the sun.
Matthew Henry
Image
The anger of a meek man is like fire struck out of steel, hard to be got out, and when it is, soon gone.
Matthew Henry
Image
The prayers and supplications that Christ offered up were, joined with strong cries and tears, herein setting us example not only to pray, but to be fervent and importunate in prayer. How many dry prayers, how few wet ones, do we offer up to God!
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
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
A state of apostasy is worse than a state of ignorance.
Matthew Henry
Image
Poor people are as much in danger from an inordinate desire towards the wealth of the world as rich from an inordinate delight in it.
