More quotes by William Gurnall
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

William Gurnall
Weak faith will as surely land the Christian in heaven as strong faith, for it is impossible the least dram of true grace should perish
William Gurnall

William Gurnall
Never venture near the door where sin dwells, lest you are dragged in.
William Gurnall
The sins of teachers are the teachers of sin.

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

William Gurnall
It is not only our duty to pray for others, but also to desire the prayers of others for ourselves.

William Gurnall
Let thy hope of heaven master thy fear of death.
William Gurnall

William Gurnall
Pride of gifts robs us of God's blessing in the use of them.
William Gurnall
The regenerating Spirit is compared to the wind. His first attempts on the soul may be so secret that the creature knows not whence they come, or whither they tend but, before he hath done, the sound will be heard throughout the soul.
William Gurnall
The longer a soul hath neglected duty, the more ado there is to get it taken up.
William Gurnall
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.
William Gurnall
No torment in the world is comparable to an accusing conscience.
William Gurnall
