View all Matthew Henry Quotes

Those may justly be reckoned void of understanding that do not bless and praise God; nor do men ever rightly use their reason till they begin to be religious, nor live as men till they live to the glory of God. As reason is the substratum or subject of religion (so that creatures which have no reason are not capable of religion), so religion is the crown and glory of reason, and we have our reason in vain, and shall one day wish we had never had it, if we do not glorify God with it.

Matthew Henry

It is easy to be religious when religion is in fashion; but it is an evidence of strong faith and resolution to swim against a stream to heaven, and to appear for God when no one else appears for Him.

Matthew Henry

Nothing exposes religion more to the reproach of its enemies than the worldliness and half-heartedness of the professors of it.

Matthew Henry

All obedience begins in the affections, and nothing in religion is done right, that is not done there first.
