Prayer is nothing but the promise reversed, or God's Word formed into an argument, and retorted by faith upon God again.
William Gurnall
Image
Let thy hope of heaven master thy fear of death. Why shouldst thou be afraid to die, who hopest to live by dying!
William Gurnall
Image
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.

Image
Whoever hath a seed time of grace pass over his soul, shall have his harvest time also of joy.

Job's friends chose the right time to visit him, but took not the right course of improving their visit had they spent the time in praying for him which they did in hot disputes with him, they would have profited him, and pleased God more.

We are justified, not by giving anything to God,--what we do,--but by receiving from God, what Christ hath done for us.

Image
He that loves the Word and the purity of its precepts cannot turn traitor.

Image
Truly, hope is the saint's covering, wherein he wraps himself, when he lays his body down to sleep in the grave: My flesh, saith David, shall rest in hope.

The chains of love are stronger than the chains of fear.
William Gurnall
Image
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.
William Gurnall
Image
We have peace with God as soon as we believe, but not always with ourselves. The pardon may be past the prince's hand and seal, and yet not put into the prisoner's hand.
William Gurnall
Image
He that is impatient, and cannot wait on God for a mercy, will not easily submit to Him in a denial.
William Gurnall
Image
Cowards never won heaven. Do not claim that you are begotten of God and you have His royal blood running in your veins unless you can prove your lineage by His heroic spirit: to dare to be holy in spite of men and devils.
William Gurnall
Image
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.

One Almighty is more than all mighties

God Himself underwrites your battle and has appointed His own Son 'the captain of your salvation'.

Image
Our enemies are on every side, so must our armour be.
William Gurnall
Image
The Christian must trust in a withdrawing God.
William Gurnall
Image
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.

Set a strong guard about thy outward senses: these are Satan's landing places, especially the eye and the ear.
