More quotes by 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
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
Were we to think more of our own mistakes and offences, we should be less apt to judge other people.
Matthew Henry
Image
The service of sin is perfect slavery.
Matthew Henry
Image
Esther came to a proud imperious man we come to the God of love and grace.
Matthew Henry
Image
The grace that saves them is the free undeserved goodness and favor of God.
Matthew Henry
Image
No creature hath the like resemblance to the divine nature, as light hath. He doth not only dwell in light, but he is light. Light is a pure, bright, clear, spiritual, unmixed substance. God is infinitely so.
Matthew Henry
Image
None are sent empty away from Christ but those who come to him full of themselves.
Matthew Henry
Image
It is a sin against God not to pray for the Israel of God, especially for those of them that are under our charge. Good men are afraid of the guilt of omissions ( I Samuel 12).
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
The better day, the worse deed.
Matthew Henry
Image
Be careful if you make a women cry, because God counts her tears. The woman came out of a man’s ribs. Not from his feet to be walked on, not from his head to be superior, but from his side to be equal, under the arm to be protected, and next to the heart to be loved.
Matthew Henry
Image
The riches we impart are the only wealth we shall always retain.
Matthew Henry
Image
Many a dangerous temptation comes to us in gay, fine colours, that are but skin-deep.
Matthew Henry
Image
ThanksGiving is good but ThanksLiving is better.
Matthew Henry
Image
The more reverence we have for the Word of God, the more joy we shall find in it.
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
Anger cannot rest in the bosom where love reigns.
Matthew Henry
Image
None so blind as those who will not see.
Matthew Henry
Image
Men cannot expect to do ill and fare well, but to find that done to them which they did to others.
Matthew Henry
