More quotes by Thomas Brooks
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
Truth is mighty and will prevail
Thomas Brooks
The world and you must part, or Christ and you will never meet.
Thomas Brooks
He who stands upon his own strength will never stand.
Thomas Brooks
Fire and water may as well agree in the same vessel, as grace and sin in the same heart.
Thomas Brooks
The sovereignty of God is that golden sceptre in his hand by which he will make all bow, either by his word or by his works, by his mercies or by his judgements.
Thomas Brooks
Every man obeys Christ as he prizes Christ, and no otherwise.
Thomas Brooks
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.
Thomas Brooks
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
Better to bear than to swear, and to die than to lie.
Thomas Brooks
Pleasures seem solid in their pursuit but are mere clouds in the enjoyment.
Thomas Brooks
Those sins that seem most sweet in life, will prove most bitter in death
Thomas Brooks
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.
Thomas Brooks
He is the best preacher, not that tickles the ear, but that breaks the heart.
Thomas Brooks
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
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
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
Deliver me, O Lord, from that evil man, myself.
Thomas Brooks
God looks not at the oratory of your prayers, how elegant they may be nor at the geometry of your prayers, how long they may be nor at the arithmetic of your prayers, how many they may be not at logic of your prayers, how methodical they may be but the sincerity of them he looks at.
Thomas Brooks
Secret sins commonly lie nearest the heart.
