Matthew Henry
Image
Conscience is that candle of the Lord which was not quite put out.
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

Image
Our creature comforts
Matthew Henry
Image
That which is won ill, will never wear well, for there is a curse attends it, which will waste it and the same corrupt dispositions which incline men to the sinful ways of getting, will incline them to the like sinful ways of spending.
Matthew Henry
Image
The Bible is a letter God has sent to us prayer is a letter we send to him.
