More quotes by Thomas Brooks
An implicit confession is almost as bad as an implicit faith wicked men commonly confess their sins by wholesale, We are all sinners but the true penitent confesses his sins by retail.
Thomas Brooks
It is better to have a sore than a seared conscience.
Thomas Brooks
Man’s holiness is now his greatest happiness, and in heaven man’s greatest happiness will be his perfect holiness.
Thomas Brooks
Sin is bad in the eye, worse in the tongue, worse still in the heart, but worst of all in the life.
Thomas Brooks
The lazy Christian has his mouth full of complaints, when the active Christian has his heart full of comforts.
Thomas Brooks
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
Weak Christians are afraid of the shadow of the cross.
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
An humble soul looks upon Christ's righteousness as his only crown.
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
He who stands upon his own strength will never stand.
Thomas Brooks
Faith is the champion of Grace, and Love the nurse but Humility is the beauty of Grace.
Thomas Brooks
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
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
Those sins that seem most sweet in life, will prove most bitter in death
Thomas Brooks
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
Saints spring and thrive most internally, when they are most externally afflicted. Afflictions are the mother of virtue.
Thomas Brooks
The world and you must part, or Christ and you will never meet.
Thomas Brooks
A preacher's life should be a commentary upon his doctrine... Heavenly doctrines should always be adorned with a heavenly life.
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.
