What labor and pains worldlings take to obtain the vain things of this life-to obtain the poor things of this world, which are but shadows and dreams, and mere nothings!
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
Thomas Brooks
Image
It is the very nature of grace to make a man strive to be most eminent in that particular grace which is most opposed to his bosom sin.
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.

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.

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].

He who stands upon his own strength will never stand.

The world and you must part, or Christ and you will never meet.
Thomas Brooks
Image
Prayer is nothing but the breathing that out before the Lord, that was first breathed into us by the Spirit of the Lord.
Thomas Brooks
Image
An implicit confession is almost as bad as an implicit faith wicked men commonly confess their sins by wholesale, We are all sinners but the true penitent confesses his sins by retail.
Thomas Brooks
Image
If God were not my friend, Satan would not be so much my enemy.
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.
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
He that will play with Satan's bait, will quickly be taken with Satan's hook.
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
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.

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