The counsels and decrees of God do not truckle to the frail and fickle will of man.
Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry
Image
Though we cannot by our prayers give God any information, yet we must by our prayers give him honor.
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

Peace is such a precious jewel that I would give anything for it but truth.
Matthew Henry
Image
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
Were we to think more of our own mistakes and offences, we should be less apt to judge other people.
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
