More quotes by William Gurnall
One Almighty is more than all mighties
William Gurnall
Many lose heaven because they are ashamed to go in a fool's coat thither.
William Gurnall
We must come to good works by faith, and not to faith by good works.
William Gurnall
The Christian must trust in a withdrawing God.
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
Blind zeal is soon put to a shameful retreat, while holy resolution, built on fast principles, lifts up its head like a rock in the midst of the waves.
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
The soldier is summoned to a life of active duty and so is the Christian.
William Gurnall
Never venture near the door where sin dwells, lest you are dragged in.
William Gurnall
And while God had work for Paul, he found him friends both in court and prison. Let persecutors send saints to prison, God can provide a keeper for their turn.
William Gurnall
Justifying faith is not a naked assent to the truths of the gospel.
William Gurnall
Godliness is the child of truth, and it must be nursed by its own mother.
William Gurnall
Humility is a necessary veil to all other graces.
William Gurnall
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
Oh, it is sad for a poor Christian to stand at the door of the promise, in the dark night of affliction, afraid to draw the latch, whereas he should then come boldly for shelter as a child into his father's house.
William Gurnall
Satan will be ready to help forward such thoughts as a fit medium to lift thee up , and slacken thy care in duty for the future. Such discoveries do indeed bear witness to the truth of thy grace, but not to the degree and measure of it. The weak child may be, yea, is, oftener in the lap than the strong.
William Gurnall
We need not borrow and take up sorrows upon use of the morrow, to make up our present load as we read of daily bread, so of a daily cross, Luke ix. M, which we are bid to take, not to make.
William Gurnall
Praying is the same to the new creature as crying is to the natural. The child is not learned by art or example to cry, but instructed by nature it comes into the world crying. Praying is not a lesson got by forms and rules of art, but flowing from principles of new life itself.
William Gurnall
God's wounds cure, sin's kisses kill.
William Gurnall
The chains of love are stronger than the chains of fear.
William Gurnall
