More From Matthew Henry

We do not become righteous by doing righteous deed but, having been made righteous, we do righteous deeds.
Deeds Made Righteous
Recently, one friend asked me, "how can i force myself to smile when i am filled with sorrow? it isn't natural." i told her she must be able to smile to her sorrow, because we are more than our sorrow. a human being is like a television set with millions of channels. if we turn the buddha on, we are the buddha. if we turn sorrow on then we are sorrow. if we turn a smile on, we really are the smile. we can not let just one channel dominate us. we have the seed of everything in us, and we have to seize the situation in our hand, to recover our own sovereignty.

The most extraordinary thing about the oyster is this. irritations set into his shell. he does not like them. but when he cannot get ride of them, he uses the irritation to do the loveliest thing an oyster ever has a chance to do. if there are irritations in our lives today, there is only one prescription: make a pearl. it may have to be a pearl of patience, but anyhow, make a pearl. and it takes faith and i love to do it.
Love Faith Irritation
Whatever pearl you seek, look for the pearl within the pearl!

A belief in moral absolutes should always make us more, not less, critical of both sides in any conflict. this doesn't mean that both sides are equally wrong; it means that since we all fall short of moral perfection, even the side whose cause is truly righteous may commit terrible acts of violence in defense of that cause -- and, worse, may feel quite justified in committing them. that is the difference between being righteous and being self-righteous. moral standards are absolute; but human fidelity to them is always relative.
Fall Mean Self
I always have a feeling of awe and wonder at what god can do - using me as an instrument. i believe that anyone who is fully surrendered to god's will can be used gloriously - and will really know some things - and will probably be called self-righteous. you're called self-righteous if you are self-centered enough to think you know everything - but you may also be called self-righteous by the immature if you are god-centered enough to really know some things.

It is a common error, and the greater and more mischievous for being so common, to believe that repentance best becomes and most concerns dying men. indeed, what is necessary every hour of our life is necessary in the hour of death too, and as long as one lives he will have need of repentance, and therefore it is necessary in the hour of death too; but he who hath constantly exercised himself in it in his health and vigor, will do it with less pain in his sickness and weakness; and he who hath practiced it all his life, will do it with more ease and less perplexity in the hour of his death.

No one is ready for a thing until he believes he can acquire it.

I am older than you. believe me, there is no other way to live on earth. men are not open to truth or reason. they cannot be reached by a rational argument. the mind is powerless against them. yet we have to deal with them. if we want to accomplish anything, we have to deceive them into letting us accomplish it. or force them. they understand nothing else. we cannot expect their support for any endeavor of the intellect, for any goal of the spirit. they are nothing but vicious animals. they are greedy, self-indulgent, predatory dollar-chasers

Through plato, aristotle came to believe in god; but plato never attempted to prove his reality. aristotle had to do so. plato contemplated him; aristotle produced arguments to demonstrate him. plato never defined him; but aristotle thought god through logically, and concluded with entire satisfaction to himself that he was the unmoved mover.
