More quotes by William Gurnall
Nothing is more contrary to a heavenly hope than an earthly heart.
William Gurnall
Pride of gifts robs us of God's blessing in the use of them.
William Gurnall
The chains of love are stronger than the chains of fear.
William Gurnall
Mercy should make us ashamed, wrath afraid to sin.
William Gurnall
The grace thou hast will soon be less, if thou addest not more to it.
William Gurnall
The sins of teachers are the teachers of sin.
William Gurnall
One Almighty is more than all mighties
William Gurnall
Sometimes, perhaps, thou hearest another pray with much freedom and fluency, whilst thou canst hardly get out a few broken words. Hence thou art ready to accuse thyself and admire him, as if the gilding of the key made it open the door the better.
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
He that is impatient, and cannot wait on God for a mercy, will not easily submit to Him in a denial.
William Gurnall
God Himself underwrites your battle and has appointed His own Son 'the captain of your salvation'.
William Gurnall
How many, alas, of the precious saints of God must we shut out from being believers, if there is no faith but what amounts to assurance.... shall we say their faith went away in the departure of their assurance?
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
The Christian in prayer comes up close to God, with a humble boldness of faith, and takes hold of him, wrestles with him yea, will not let him go without a blessing... They are only a few noble-spirited souls, who dare take heaven by force, that are fit for this calling.
William Gurnall
Christ hath told us He will come, but not when, that we might never put off our clothes, or put out the candle.
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
The Christian's life should put his minister's sermon in print.
William Gurnall
The mightier any is in the word, the more mighty he will be in prayer.
William Gurnall
We have peace with God as soon as we believe, but not always with ourselves. The pardon may be past the prince's hand and seal, and yet not put into the prisoner's hand.
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.
