More quotes by William Gurnall
God's wounds cure, sin's kisses kill.
William Gurnall
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
We fear men so much, because we fear God so little.
William Gurnall
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
The Word of God is too sacred a thing, and preaching too solemn a work, to be toyed and played with.
William Gurnall
As you love your peace, Christian, be plain-hearted with God and man, and keep the king's highway.
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
For a beggar to live at court is not so much as the King to dwell with him in his cottage.
William Gurnall
One Almighty is more than all mighties
William Gurnall
Job's friends chose the right time to visit him, but took not the right course of improving their visit had they spent the time in praying for him which they did in hot disputes with him, they would have profited him, and pleased God more.
William Gurnall
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
To forsake sin, is to leave it without any thought reserved of returning to it again.
William Gurnall
Our enemies are on every side, so must our armour be.
William Gurnall
We must not confide in the armour of God, but in the God of this armour, because all our weapons are only mighty through God.
William Gurnall
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.
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
If thou beest ever so exact in thy morals, and not a worshiper of God, then thou art an atheist.
William Gurnall
Paul was Nero's prisoner, but Nero was much more God's.
William Gurnall
Christ bears with the saints' imperfections well may the saints one with another.
William Gurnall
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.
