More quotes by William Gurnall
Justifying faith is not a naked assent to the truths of the gospel.
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
If thou beest ever so exact in thy morals, and not a worshiper of God, then thou art an atheist.
William Gurnall
One Almighty is more than all mighties
William Gurnall
The sins of teachers are the teachers of sin.
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
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
It is no policy to let thy lusts have arms, which are sure to rise and declare against thee when thine enemy comes.
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
Our enemies are on every side, so must our armour be.
William Gurnall
It is not only our duty to pray for others, but also to desire the prayers of others for ourselves.
William Gurnall
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
All the plots of hell and commotions on earth have not so much as shaken God's hand to spoil one letter or line he has been drawing.
William Gurnall
We live by faith, and faith lives by exercise.
William Gurnall
Cowards never won heaven. Do not claim that you are begotten of God and you have His royal blood running in your veins unless you can prove your lineage by His heroic spirit: to dare to be holy in spite of men and devils.
William Gurnall
No torment in the world is comparable to an accusing conscience.
William Gurnall
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
When people do not mind what God speaks to them in His word, God doth as little mind what they say to Him in prayer.
William Gurnall
Weak faith will as surely land the Christian in heaven as strong faith, for it is impossible the least dram of true grace should perish
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.
