All the plots of hell and commotions on earth have not so much as shaken God's hand to spoil one letter or line he has been drawing.

More quotes by William Gurnall
As you love your peace, Christian, be plain-hearted with God and man, and keep the king's highway.
William Gurnall
One Almighty is more than all mighties
William Gurnall
God is almighty to pardon, but He will not use His power for a shameless sinner. He is able to save and help in time of need, but if you have not repented, how can you expect His aid? The same power God expends on the believer's salvation will be spent on your damnation, for He has bound Himself under oath to destroy every impenitent soul.
William Gurnall
Few are made better by prosperity, whom afflictions make worse.
William Gurnall
Pray often rather than very long at a time. It is hard to be very long in prayer, and not slacken in our affections.
William Gurnall
God hath made it a debt which one saint owes to another to carry their names to a throne of grace.
William Gurnall
We live by faith, and faith lives by exercise.
William Gurnall
Christ will bear no equal, and Satan no superior and therefore, hold in with both thou canst not.
William Gurnall
The Christian's life should put his minister's sermon in print.
William Gurnall
Weak faith will as surely land the Christian in heaven as strong faith, for it is impossible the least dram of true grace should perish
William Gurnall
Oh, it is sad for a poor Christian to stand at the door of the promise, in the dark night of affliction, afraid to draw the latch, whereas he should then come boldly for shelter as a child into his father's house.
William Gurnall
If thou beest ever so exact in thy morals, and not a worshiper of God, then thou art an atheist.
William Gurnall
How many, alas, of the precious saints of God must we shut out from being believers, if there is no faith but what amounts to assurance.... shall we say their faith went away in the departure of their assurance?
William Gurnall
Nothing is more contrary to a heavenly hope than an earthly heart.
William Gurnall
Compare Scripture with Scripture. False doctrines, like false witnesses, agree not among themselves.
William Gurnall
For a beggar to live at court is not so much as the King to dwell with him in his cottage.
William Gurnall
How can God stoop lower than to come and dwell with a poor humble soul? Which is more than if he had said, such a one should dwell with him for a beggar to live at court is not so much as the king to dwell with him in his cottage.
William Gurnall
Of all creatures in this visible world, light is the most glorious of all light, the light of the sun without compare excels the rest.
William Gurnall
God loves the saints as the purchase of his Son's blood. They cost him dear, and that which is so hardly got shall not be easily lost. He that was willing to expend his Son's blood to gain them, will not deny his power to keep them.
William Gurnall
The Christian, like a chalice without a base, cannot stand on his own nor hold what he has received any longer that God holds him in His strong hands.
