The chains of love are stronger than the chains of fear.
William Gurnall
Image
The mightier any is in the word, the more mighty he will be in prayer.
William Gurnall
Image
Pride of gifts robs us of God's blessing in the use of them.
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
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
Of all creatures in this visible world, light is the most glorious of all light, the light of the sun without compare excels the rest.
William Gurnall

God hath made it a debt which one saint owes to another to carry their names to a throne of grace.
William Gurnall
Image
It is not only our duty to pray for others, but also to desire the prayers of others for ourselves.
William Gurnall
Image
Godliness is the child of truth, and it must be nursed by its own mother.
William Gurnall
Image
Bid faith look through the key-hole of the promise, and tell thee what it sees there laid up for him that overcomes bid it listen and tell thee whether it cannot hear the shout of those crowned saints, as of those that are dividing the spoil, and receiving the reward of all their services and sufferings here on earth.
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.
William Gurnall
Image
Compare not thyself with those that have less than thyself, but look on those that have far exceeded thee.
William Gurnall
Image
Christ will bear no equal, and Satan no superior and therefore, hold in with both thou canst not.
William Gurnall
Image
Indeed all the saints are taught the same lesson - to renounce their own strength, and rely on the power of God their own policy, and cast themselves on the wisdom of God their own righteousness, and expect all from the pure mercy of God in Christ, which act of faith is so pleasing to God, that such a soul shall never be ashamed.
William Gurnall
Image
It is one thing to know a truth, and another thing to know it by unction.
William Gurnall
Image
CEASE to PRAY and thou will BEGIN to SIN.
William Gurnall
Image
Thou hast no life to lose, because thou hast given it already to Christ, nor can man take away that without God's leave.
William Gurnall
Image
Never venture near the door where sin dwells, lest you are dragged in.
William Gurnall
Image
Pray often rather than very long at a time. It is hard to be very long in prayer, and not slacken in our affections.
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.
