Image
The best we can say to God in prayer, is what He has said to us.
Matthew Henry

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
The flower of youth never appears more beautiful than when it bends toward the sun of righteousness.

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
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
That which God plants he will take care to keep watered.
Matthew Henry
Image
Though we cannot by our prayers give God any information, yet we must by our prayers give him honor.
Matthew Henry
