Quote

Cold prayers shall never have any warm answers. God will suit His returns to our requests. Lifeless, services shall have lifeless answers. When men are dull, God will be dumb.

Better to bear than to swear, and to die than to lie.
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
There are three things that earthly riches can never do they can never satisfy divine justice, they can never pacify divine wrath, nor can they every quiet a guilty conscience. And till these things are done man is undone.
Thomas Brooks
Image
Carnal reason is an enemy to faith: it is ever crossing and contradicting it. It will never be well with thee, Christian, so long as thou art swayed by carnal reason, and you rely more upon thy five senses, than upon the four Evangelists. As the body lives by breathing, so the soul lives by believing.
Thomas Brooks

Faith is the champion of Grace, and Love the nurse but Humility is the beauty of Grace.

Those sins that seem most sweet in life, will prove most bitter in death
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
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.

Satan often paints sin with virtue's colors.
Thomas Brooks
Image
Satan promises the best, but pays with the worst he promises honor, and pays with disgrace he promises pleasure, and pays with pain he promises profit, and pays with loss, he promises life, and pays with death. But God pays as he promises all his payments are made in pure gold.

Image
The world and you must part, or Christ and you will never meet.
Thomas Brooks
Image
Man’s holiness is now his greatest happiness, and in heaven man’s greatest happiness will be his perfect holiness.

It is better to have a sore than a seared conscience.

Image
Weak Christians are afraid of the shadow of the cross.

Image
Repentance is the vomit of the soul.

Self is the only oil that makes the chariot-wheels of the hypocrite move in all religious concerns.
Thomas Brooks
Image
Every thing that a man leans upon but God, will be a dart that will certainly pierce his heart through and through. He who leans only upon Christ, lives the highest, choicest, safest, and sweetest life.
