He that puts on a religious habit abroad to gain himself a great name among men, and at the same time lives like an atheist at home, shall at the last be uncovered by God and presented before all the world for a most outrageous hypocrite.
Thomas Brooks
Image
A preacher's life should be a commentary upon his doctrine... Heavenly doctrines should always be adorned with a heavenly life.
Thomas Brooks
Image
Self is the only oil that makes the chariot-wheels of the hypocrite move in all religious concerns.
Thomas Brooks
Image
To repent of sin is as great a mark of grace as not to sin.
Thomas Brooks
Image
God hath in Himself all power to defend you, all wisdom to direct you, all mercy to pardon you, all grace to enrich you, all righteousness to clothe you, all goodness to supply you, and all happiness to crown you.
Thomas Brooks

If God were not my friend, Satan would not be so much my enemy.
Thomas Brooks
Image
There is no such way to get much grace, as to be thankful for a little grace. He who opens his mouth wide in praise, shall have his heart lled with graces. Ingratitude stops the ear of God, and shuts the hand of God, and turns away the heart of the God of grace and therefore we had need to be thankful for a little grace.

Consider that the trials and troubles, the calamities and miseries, the crosses and losses that you meet with in this world, are all the hell that ever you shall have.
Thomas Brooks
Image
Fire and water may as well agree in the same vessel, as grace and sin in the same heart.
Thomas Brooks
Image
Faith is the champion of Grace, and Love the nurse but Humility is the beauty of Grace.
Thomas Brooks
Image
Consider that spiritual safety comes through spiritual unity. Christians united together are difficult to separate, difficult to break, difficult to pick off and destroy. It is when you isolate yourself by disrupting or denying unity that you are most at risk.
Thomas Brooks
Image
Our sins are debts that none can pay but Christ. It is not our tears, but His blood it is not our sighs, but His sufferings, that can testify for our sins. Christ must pay all, or we are prisoners forever.
Thomas Brooks
Image
Christ is the sun, and all the watches of our lives should be set by the dial of his motion.
Thomas Brooks
Image
It is better to have a sore than a seared conscience.
Thomas Brooks
Image
Satan often paints sin with virtue's colors.
Thomas Brooks
Image
God's hearing of our prayers doth not depend upon sanctification, but upon Christ's intercession not upon what we are in ourselves, but what' we are in the Lord Jesus both our persons and our prayers are acceptable in the beloved [Eph 1.6].
Thomas Brooks
Image
A man's most glorious actions will at last be found to be but glorious sins, if he hath made himself, and not the glory of God, the end of those actions.
Thomas Brooks
Image
True repentance includes sorrow for sin and contrition of heart. It breaks the heart with sighs and sobs and groans.
