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
Image
Consider that the trials and troubles, the calamities and miseries, the crosses and losses that you meet with in this world, are all the hell that ever you shall have.
Thomas Brooks
Image
The lazy Christian has his mouth full of complaints, when the active Christian has his heart full of comforts.
Thomas Brooks
Image
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
Image
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
He that will play with Satan's bait, will quickly be taken with Satan's hook.
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.

Repentance is the vomit of the soul.
Thomas Brooks
Image
He who stands upon his own strength will never stand.
Thomas Brooks
Image
Sin is bad in the eye, worse in the tongue, worse still in the heart, but worst of all in the life.
Thomas Brooks
Image
Our sins are debts that none can pay but Christ. It is not our tears, but His blood it is not our sighs, but His sufferings, that can testify for our sins. Christ must pay all, or we are prisoners forever.
Thomas Brooks
Image
God hears no more than the heart speaks and if the heart be dumb, God will certainly be deaf.
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
Secret sins commonly lie nearest the heart.
Thomas Brooks
Image
Deliver me, O Lord, from that evil man, myself.
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
Thomas Brooks

Consider that spiritual safety comes through spiritual unity. Christians united together are difficult to separate, difficult to break, difficult to pick off and destroy. It is when you isolate yourself by disrupting or denying unity that you are most at risk.
