More quotes by William Gurnall
Compare not thyself with those that have less than thyself, but look on those that have far exceeded thee.
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
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
The Christian is bred by the Word, and he must be fed by it.
William Gurnall
One Almighty is more than all mighties
William Gurnall
Never venture near the door where sin dwells, lest you are dragged in.
William Gurnall
Cease to pray and thou will begin to sin. Prayer is not only a means to prevail for mercy but also to prevent sin.
William Gurnall
He that loves the Word and the purity of its precepts cannot turn traitor.
William Gurnall
Therefore tremble, O man, at any power thou hast, except thou usest it for God. Art thou strong in body who hath thy strength? God, or thy lusts?
William Gurnall
The storm may be tempestuous, but it is only temporary.
William Gurnall
Let thy hope of heaven master thy fear of death. Why shouldst thou be afraid to die, who hopest to live by dying!
William Gurnall
Our enemies are on every side, so must our armour be.
William Gurnall
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
How can God stoop lower than to come and dwell with a poor humble soul? Which is more than if he had said, such a one should dwell with him for a beggar to live at court is not so much as the king to dwell with him in his cottage.
William Gurnall
The grace thou hast will soon be less, if thou addest not more to it.
William Gurnall
It is the image of God reflected in you that so enrages hell it is this at which the demons hurl their mightiest weapons.
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
A minister, without boldness, is like a smooth file, a knife without an edge, a sentinel that is afraid to let off his gun. If men will be bold in sin, ministers must be bold to reprove.
William Gurnall
The longer a soul hath neglected duty, the more ado there is to get it taken up.
William Gurnall
Humility is a necessary veil to all other graces.
William Gurnall
