In a storm there is no shelter like the wings of God.
Thomas Brooks
Image
There is no such way to attain to greater measures of grace, as for a man to live up to that little grace he has.

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

If you would have a clear evidence that little love, that little faith, that little zeal, you have is true? Then live up to that love, live up to that faith, live up to that zeal that you have and this will be evidence beyond all contradiction.
Thomas Brooks
Image
Deliver me, O Lord, from that evil man, myself.
Thomas Brooks

Satan often paints sin with virtue's colors.
Thomas Brooks
Image
Better to bear than to swear, and to die than to lie.
Thomas Brooks
Image
He that puts on a religious habit abroad to gain himself a great name among men, and at the same time lives like an atheist at home, shall at the last be uncovered by God and presented before all the world for a most outrageous hypocrite.
Thomas Brooks
Image
Nothing humbles and breaks the heart of a sinner like mercy and love. Souls that converse much with sin and wrath, may be much terrified but souls that converse much with grace and mercy, will be much humbled.
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

He who stands upon his own strength will never stand.
