Image
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.
Thomas Brooks
Image
Prayer crowns God with the honor and glory due to His name, and God crowns prayer with assurance and comfort. The most praying souls are the most assured souls.

Image
Though there is nothing more dangerous, yet there is nothing more ordinary, than for weak saints to make their sense and feeling the judge of their condition. We must strive to walk by faith.
Thomas Brooks
Image
It is not he who knows most, nor he who hears most, nor yet he who talks most, but he who exercises grace most, who has most communion with God.

Man’s holiness is now his greatest happiness, and in heaven man’s greatest happiness will be his perfect holiness.
Thomas Brooks
Image
It is not the bee's touching of the flower that gathers honey, but her abiding for a time upon the flower that draws out the sweet. It is not he that reads most, but he that meditates most, that will prove the choicest, sweetest, wisest and strongest Christian.
Thomas Brooks
Image
Secret sins commonly lie nearest the heart.
Thomas Brooks
Image
When afflictions arrest us, we shall murmur and grumble and struggle until we see that it is God that strikes.
Thomas Brooks
Image
There are no souls in the world that are so fearful to judge others as those that do most judge themselves, nor so careful to make a righteous judgment of men or things as those that are most careful to judge themselves.
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
True repentance includes sorrow for sin and contrition of heart. It breaks the heart with sighs and sobs and groans.
Thomas Brooks
Image
Your life is short, your duties many, your assistance great, and your reward sure therefore faint not, hold on and hold up, in ways of well-doing, and heaven shall make amends for all

A preacher's life should be a commentary upon his doctrine... Heavenly doctrines should always be adorned with a heavenly life.
