Image
Christ is the door that opens into God's presence and lets the soul into His very bosom, faith is the key that unlocks the door but the Spirit is He that makes this key.
William Gurnall
Image
As you love your peace, Christian, be plain-hearted with God and man, and keep the king's highway.
William Gurnall
Image
We are justified, not by giving anything to God,--what we do,--but by receiving from God, what Christ hath done for us.
William Gurnall
Image
In heaven we shall appear, not in armour, but in robes of glory. But here these are to be worn night and day we must walk, work, and sleep in them, or else we are not true soldiers of Christ.
William Gurnall
Image
Pride of gifts robs us of God's blessing in the use of them.
William Gurnall
Image
He that is impatient, and cannot wait on God for a mercy, will not easily submit to Him in a denial.

Image
It is the saint's duty, and should be their care, not only to believe that God is Almighty, but also to strongly believe that His almighty power is engaged for our defense and help in all of our straits and temptations.
William Gurnall
Image
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.

Image
Never was a faithful prayer lost. Some prayers have a longer voyage than others, but then they return with their richer lading at last, so that the praying soul is a gainer by waiting for an answer.
William Gurnall
Image
Godliness is the child of truth, and it must be nursed by its own mother.
William Gurnall
Image
Christ will bear no equal, and Satan no superior and therefore, hold in with both thou canst not.
William Gurnall
Image
He that loves the Word and the purity of its precepts cannot turn traitor.
William Gurnall
Image
The mightier any is in the word, the more mighty he will be in prayer.
William Gurnall
Image
We must come to good works by faith, and not to faith by good works.
William Gurnall
Image
We live by faith, and faith lives by exercise.
William Gurnall
Image
Never venture near the door where sin dwells, lest you are dragged in.
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
The devil had as good have let Paul alone, for he no sooner comes into prison but he falls a preaching, at which the gates of Satan's prison fly open, and poor sinners come forth.
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.

One Almighty is more than all mighties
