William Gurnall
Image
We must come to good works by faith, and not to faith by good works.
William Gurnall
Image
As the eye of the body once put out, can never be restored by the creature's art, so neither can the spiritual eye lost by Adam's sin be restored by the teaching of men or angels. It is one of the diseases which Christ came to cure.
William Gurnall
Image
The chains of love are stronger than the chains of fear.
William Gurnall
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.
William Gurnall
Image
God Himself underwrites your battle and has appointed His own Son 'the captain of your salvation'.
William Gurnall
Image
It is no policy to let thy lusts have arms, which are sure to rise and declare against thee when thine enemy comes.
William Gurnall
Image
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.
