William Gurnall
Image
Our enemies are on every side, so must our armour be.
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.

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
CEASE to PRAY and thou will BEGIN to SIN.
William Gurnall
Image
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
Image
The chains of love are stronger than the chains of fear.
William Gurnall
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
Hope fills the afflicted soul with such inward joy and consolation, that it can laugh while tears are in the eye, sigh and sing all in a breath it is called the rejoicing of hope (Hebrews 3:6).
William Gurnall
Image
Compare Scripture with Scripture. False doctrines, like false witnesses, agree not among themselves.
William Gurnall
Image
God Himself underwrites your battle and has appointed His own Son 'the captain of your salvation'.
William Gurnall
Image
No torment in the world is comparable to an accusing conscience.
William Gurnall
Image
Mercy should make us ashamed, wrath afraid to sin.
