More quotes by Thomas Brooks
Christ is the sun, and all the watches of our lives should be set by the dial of his motion.
Thomas Brooks
Till men have faith in Christ, their best services are but glorious sins.
Thomas Brooks
The least sin should humble the soul, but certainly the greatest sin should never discourage the soul, much less should it work the soul to despair. Despairing Judas perished, whereas the murderers of Christ, believing on Him, were saved.
Thomas Brooks
Pleasures seem solid in their pursuit but are mere clouds in the enjoyment.
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
Those sins that seem most sweet in life, will prove most bitter in death
Thomas Brooks
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
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
He is the best preacher, not that tickles the ear, but that breaks the heart.
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.
Thomas Brooks
Humility makes a man richer than other men, and it makes a man judge himself the poorest among men.
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
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
Satan often paints sin with virtue's colors.
Thomas Brooks
There are no souls in the world that are so fearful to judge others as those that do most judge themselves, nor so careful to make a righteous judgment of men or things as those that are most careful to judge themselves.
Thomas Brooks
To repent of sin is as great a mark of grace as not to sin.
Thomas Brooks
The lazy Christian has his mouth full of complaints, when the active Christian has his heart full of comforts.
Thomas Brooks
An humble soul looks upon Christ's righteousness as his only crown.
Thomas Brooks
Repentance is the vomit of the soul.
Thomas Brooks
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.
