More quotes by 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
So great was the extremity of his pain and anguish, that he did not only sigh but roar.
Matthew Henry
Image
If we would be angry and not sin, we must be angry at nothing but sin and we should be more jealous for the glory of God than for any interest or reputation of our own.
Matthew Henry

Our creature comforts
Matthew Henry
Image
Love is the root obedience is the fruit.
Matthew Henry

The kingdom of heaven was never intended to indulge the ease of triflers, but to the rest of them that labor.
Matthew Henry
Image
Why wilt thou be so sottish, such an enemy to thyself, as to prefer puddle-water, and that poisoned too and stolen, before pure living waters out of thy own well?
Matthew Henry

He that is in haste may contract much guilt in a little time. What we say or do unadvisedly when we are hot, we must unsay or undo again when we are cool, or do worse.
Matthew Henry
Image
Eve was not taken out of Adam's head to top him, neither out of his feet to be trampled on by him, but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected by him, and near his heart to be loved by him.
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
Prayer time must be kept up as duly as meal-time.
Matthew Henry

The flower of youth never appears more beautiful than when it bends toward the sun of righteousness.
Matthew Henry
Image
Christ teaches by the Spirit of wisdom in the heart, opening the understanding to the Spirit of revelation in the word.
Matthew Henry
Image
Shallows where a lamb could wade and depths where an elephant would drown.
Matthew Henry
Image
We have a cunning adversary, who watches to do mischief, and will promote errors, even by the words of scripture.
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
Those that forget to attend God with their praises may perhaps be compelled to attend him with their prayers.
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
Those, and those only, can expect to be taught by God, who are ready and willing to do as they are taught... Those who go up to the house of the Lord with an expectation that He will teach them His ways, must go with a humble resolution that they will walk in His paths.
Matthew Henry
Image
...When we are waiting upon God to bless us, we should stir up ourselves to bless him.
Matthew Henry
