More quotes by Matthew Henry
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
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
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
What we count the ills of life are often blessings in disguise, resulting in good to us in the end. Though for the present not joyous but grievous, yet, if received in a right spirit, they work out fruits of righteousness for us at last.
Matthew Henry
God's promises are to be our pleas in prayer.
Matthew Henry
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
Men may die like lambs and yet have their place forever with the goats.
Matthew Henry
Nature is content with little grace with less but lust with nothing.
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
That which God plants he will take care to keep watered.
Matthew Henry
Every tear of sorrow sown by the righteous springs up a pearl.
Matthew Henry
God's Word must be the guide of your desires and the ground of your expectations in prayer.
Matthew Henry
Those who deceive others, deceive themselves, as they will find at last, to their cost.
Matthew Henry
Not lost, but gone before.
Matthew Henry
Men of polite learning and a liberal education.
Matthew Henry
The best we can say to God in prayer, is what He has said to us.
Matthew Henry
The better day, the worse deed.
Matthew Henry
Blushing is the colour of virtue.
Matthew Henry
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
I thank Thee first because I was never robbed before second, because although they took my purse they did not take my life third, because although they took my all, it was not much and fourth because it was I who was robbed, and not I who robbed.
Matthew Henry
