Retreat.

Whatever storm cometh, you will find His bosom the surest place of retreat.

[Thomas Manton]

In His Keeping

By God all things exist, therefore He can hear all prayers, relieve us in all our straits, supply us in all wants, and preserve us in all dangers.

Our whole life is in His keeping, and upheld by His intimate presence with us. Our days cannot be longer nor shorter than He pleases.


[Thomas Manton]



1 Peter 1:5 ... Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Manton Quotes

The more affected we are with our sinful misery, the fitter we are for Christ's marvelous mercy.


God has a bottle for all the tears of His people and a book wherein He records all their sorrows!



If Christ shall be precious to you, then you must be vile in your own eyes!



It is easy for Him who made all things out of nothing to help His redeemed children.  The Almighty Creator, ruler, and governor of the world, what can He not do?


A man's greatest care should be for that place where He dwells longest; therefore eternity should be in his scope!



By the same divine power by which Christ made all things, He preserves and sustains all things.  All creatures owe their continuance and preservation to Him.


Hell and damnation are no vain scarecrows!


It is a hard matter to enjoy the world, without being entangled with its cares and pleasures!



A man who is satisfied with his own righteousness, does not prize Christ.


Sin is sweet in commission, but bitter in its wages.


Excess in food and drink clouds the mind, chokes good affections, and provokes lust. Many a man digs his own grave with his teeth! 



Christ does not save us because we are holy but that we may be holy!


[Thomas Manton]
