After a storm comes a calm.
Matthew Henry
Image
What God requires of us he himself works in us, or it is not done. He that commands faith, holiness, and love, creates them by the power of his grace going along with his word, that he may have all the praise.
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
Nothing can make a man truly great but being truly good, and partaking of God's holiness.
Matthew Henry
Image
What harrowing is after sowing, the same is meditation after hearing--it hides the word.
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
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
We have no sufficient strength of our own. All our sufficiency is of God. We should stir up ourselves to resist temptations in a reliance upon God's all-sufficiency and the omnipotence of his might.
Matthew Henry
Image
The more reverence we have for the Word of God, the more joy we shall find in it.
Matthew Henry
Image
All this and heaven too.
Matthew Henry
Image
The kingdom of heaven was never intended to indulge the ease of triflers, but to the rest of them that labor.
Matthew Henry
Image
A garment that is double dyed, dipped again and again, will retain the color a great while so a truth which is the subject of meditation.
Matthew Henry
Image
Prayer time must be kept up as duly as meal-time.
Matthew Henry
Image
The meek are those who quietly submit themselves to God, to His Word and to His rod, who follow His directions, and comply with His designs, and are gentle toward all men.
Matthew Henry
Image
Blushing is the colour of virtue.
Matthew Henry
Image
There is a burden of care in getting riches fear in keeping them temptation in using them guilt in abusing them sorrow in losing them and a burden of account at last to be given concerning them.
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
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
Scriptures were written, not to satisfy our curiosity and make us astronomers, but to lead us to God, and make us saints.
Matthew Henry
Image
ThanksGiving is good but ThanksLiving is better.
