Oouch!!!! - Matthew Henry

Posted 11-13-2009 at 10:58 AM by Joshua (Reformers, Puritans, and a Geek)

[T]hose that truly repent of sin will resolve, in the strength of God's grace, to mortify sin and to destroy it, and so to undo what they have done amiss. We do but mock God in saying that we are sorry for our sin, and that it grieves us to the heart, if we continue to indulge it. In vain do we pretend a change of our mind if we do not evidence it by a change of our way.

A Message to the People of America, et al. - Matthew Henry

Posted 11-13-2009 at 10:58 AM by Joshua (Reformers, Puritans, and a Geek)

The wickedness of a people is great indeed when the most notorious sinners are men of renown among them. Things are bad when bad men are not only honoured notwithstanding their wickedness, but honoured for their wickedness, and the vilest men exalted. Wickedness is then great when great men are wicked.

Grace Not Given on Basis of Geneology - Matthew Henry

Posted 11-13-2009 at 10:57 AM by Joshua (Reformers, Puritans, and a Geek)

Grace does not run in the blood, but corruption does. A sinner begets a sinner, but a saint does not beget a saint.

Fear and Sin - Matthew Henry

Posted 11-13-2009 at 10:57 AM by Joshua (Reformers, Puritans, and a Geek)

Note, Unpardoned guilt fills men with continual terrors, Prov. xxviii. 1; Job xv. 20, 21; Ps. liii. 5. It is better to fear and not sin than to sin and then fear.

On Complains of God's Just Judgments - Matthew Henry

Posted 11-13-2009 at 10:57 AM by Joshua (Reformers, Puritans, and a Geek)

Impenitent unhumbled hearts are therefore not reclaimed by God's rebukes because they think themselves wronged by them; and it is an evidence of great hardness to be more concerned about our sufferings than about our sins.
