More quotes by 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.

He that will play with Satan's bait, will quickly be taken with Satan's hook.
Thomas Brooks
Image
Ambition is a gilded misery, a secret poison, a hidden plague, the engineer of deceit, the mother of hypocrisy, the parent of envy, the original of vices, the moth of holiness, the blinder of hearts, turning medicines into maladies, and remedies into diseases.
Thomas Brooks
Image
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
Image
Self is the only oil that makes the chariot-wheels of the hypocrite move in all religious concerns.

Image
If God were not my friend, Satan would not be so much my enemy.
Thomas Brooks
Image
Every man obeys Christ as he prizes Christ, and no otherwise.

Christ is the sun, and all the watches of our lives should be set by the dial of his motion.

Fire and water may as well agree in the same vessel, as grace and sin in the same heart.
