Better to bear than to swear, and to die than to lie.
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.

When God's hand is on thy back, let thy hand be on thy mouth, for though the affliction be sharp it shall be but short.
Thomas Brooks

Secret sins commonly lie nearest the heart.
Thomas Brooks
Image
Self is the only oil that makes the chariot-wheels of the hypocrite move in all religious concerns.
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.
Thomas Brooks
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
Ah, believer, it is only Heaven that is above all winds, storms, and tempests God did not cast man out of Paradise that he might find another paradise in this world.
Thomas Brooks
Image
Till men have faith in Christ, their best services are but glorious sins.
Thomas Brooks
Image
The only ground of God's love is his love.

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