What is Jordan that I should wash in it? What is the preaching that I should attend on it, while I hear nothing but what I knew before? What are these beggarly elements of water, bread, and wine? Are not these the reasonings of a soul that forgets who appoints the means of grace?

Cease to pray and thou will begin to sin. Prayer is not only a means to prevail for mercy but also to prevent sin.

God's wounds cure, sin's kisses kill.
William Gurnall
Image
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.

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.

The longer a soul hath neglected duty, the more ado there is to get it taken up.
William Gurnall
Image
The soldier is summoned to a life of active duty and so is the Christian.
William Gurnall
Image
And while God had work for Paul, he found him friends both in court and prison. Let persecutors send saints to prison, God can provide a keeper for their turn.
William Gurnall
Image
Christ bears with the saints' imperfections well may the saints one with another.
William Gurnall
Image
Satan will be ready to help forward such thoughts as a fit medium to lift thee up , and slacken thy care in duty for the future. Such discoveries do indeed bear witness to the truth of thy grace, but not to the degree and measure of it. The weak child may be, yea, is, oftener in the lap than the strong.
William Gurnall
Image
The sins of teachers are the teachers of sin.
William Gurnall
Image
Godliness, as well as the doctrine of our faith, is a mystery.

Image
The chains of love are stronger than the chains of fear.
