Better to bear than to swear, and to die than to lie.
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
The only ground of God's love is his love.
Thomas Brooks
Image
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
Image
In a storm there is no shelter like the wings of God.
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.
Thomas Brooks

Deliver me, O Lord, from that evil man, myself.

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.

Image
Prayer is nothing but the breathing that out before the Lord, that was first breathed into us by the Spirit of the Lord.
Thomas Brooks
Image
Faith is the champion of Grace, and Love the nurse but Humility is the beauty of Grace.
Thomas Brooks
Image
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
Image
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
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
Every man obeys Christ as he prizes Christ, and no otherwise.
Thomas Brooks
Image
Saints spring and thrive most internally, when they are most externally afflicted. Afflictions are the mother of virtue.
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
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
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
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.

Man’s holiness is now his greatest happiness, and in heaven man’s greatest happiness will be his perfect holiness.
