More quotes by Thomas Brooks
Cold prayers always freeze before they reach heaven .
Thomas Brooks
If God were not my friend, Satan would not be so much my enemy.
Thomas Brooks
Faith is the champion of Grace, and Love the nurse but Humility is the beauty of Grace.
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
Saints spring and thrive most internally, when they are most externally afflicted. Afflictions are the mother of virtue.
Thomas Brooks
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
Humility makes a man richer than other men, and it makes a man judge himself the poorest among men.
Thomas Brooks
He is the best preacher, not that tickles the ear, but that breaks the heart.
Thomas Brooks
To repent of sin is as great a mark of grace as not to sin.
Thomas Brooks
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.
Thomas Brooks
Christ is the sun, and all the watches of our lives should be set by the dial of his motion.
Thomas Brooks
Weak Christians are afraid of the shadow of the cross.
Thomas Brooks
That sorrow for sin that keeps the soul from looking towards the mercy seat is a sinful sorrow.
Thomas Brooks
God hath in Himself all power to defend you, all wisdom to direct you, all mercy to pardon you, all grace to enrich you, all righteousness to clothe you, all goodness to supply you, and all happiness to crown you.
Thomas Brooks
Though our private desires are ever so confused, though our private requests are ever so broken, and though our private groanings are ever so hidden from men, yet God eyes them, records them, and puts them upon the file of heaven, and will one day crown them with glorious answers and returns.
Thomas Brooks
Fire and water may as well agree in the same vessel, as grace and sin in the same heart.
Thomas Brooks
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
Deliver me, O Lord, from that evil man, myself.
Thomas Brooks
When afflictions arrest us, we shall murmur and grumble and struggle until we see that it is God that strikes.
Thomas Brooks
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.
