More quotes by William Gurnall
Never venture near the door where sin dwells, lest you are dragged in.
William Gurnall
The Christian is to proclaim and prosecute an irreconcilable war against his bosom sins those sins which have lain nearest his heart, must now be trampled under his feet.
William Gurnall
Christ will bear no equal, and Satan no superior and therefore, hold in with both thou canst not.
William Gurnall
CEASE to PRAY and thou will BEGIN to SIN.
William Gurnall
The Christian in prayer comes up close to God, with a humble boldness of faith, and takes hold of him, wrestles with him yea, will not let him go without a blessing... They are only a few noble-spirited souls, who dare take heaven by force, that are fit for this calling.
William Gurnall
A minister, without boldness, is like a smooth file, a knife without an edge, a sentinel that is afraid to let off his gun. If men will be bold in sin, ministers must be bold to reprove.
William Gurnall
To forsake sin, is to leave it without any thought reserved of returning to it again.
William Gurnall
The Christian's life should put his minister's sermon in print.
William Gurnall
The Christian is bred by the Word, and he must be fed by it.
William Gurnall
Prayer is nothing but the promise reversed, or God's Word formed into an argument, and retorted by faith upon God again.
William Gurnall
One Almighty is more than all mighties
William Gurnall
God would not rub so hard if it were not to fetch out the dirt that is ingrained in our natures. God loves purity so well He had rather see a hole than a spot in His child's garments.
William Gurnall
Humble souls are fearful of their own strength.
William Gurnall
Justifying faith is not a naked assent to the truths of the gospel.
William Gurnall
Sometimes, perhaps, thou hearest another pray with much freedom and fluency, whilst thou canst hardly get out a few broken words. Hence thou art ready to accuse thyself and admire him, as if the gilding of the key made it open the door the better.
William Gurnall
Hope fills the afflicted soul with such inward joy and consolation, that it can laugh while tears are in the eye, sigh and sing all in a breath it is called the rejoicing of hope (Hebrews 3:6).
William Gurnall
We fear men so much, because we fear God so little.
William Gurnall
The soldier is summoned to a life of active duty and so is the Christian.
William Gurnall
No torment in the world is comparable to an accusing conscience.
William Gurnall
Godliness, as well as the doctrine of our faith, is a mystery.
