More quotes by William Gurnall
God loves the saints as the purchase of his Son's blood. They cost him dear, and that which is so hardly got shall not be easily lost. He that was willing to expend his Son's blood to gain them, will not deny his power to keep them.
William Gurnall
To forsake sin, is to leave it without any thought reserved of returning to it again.
William Gurnall
The longer a soul hath neglected duty, the more ado there is to get it taken up.
William Gurnall
The Word of God is too sacred a thing, and preaching too solemn a work, to be toyed and played with.
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
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
It is one thing to know a truth, and another thing to know it by unction.
William Gurnall
Least doers are the greatest boasters.
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
The soldier is summoned to a life of active duty and so is the Christian.
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
Godliness, as well as the doctrine of our faith, is a mystery.
William Gurnall
The mightier any is in the word, the more mighty he will be in prayer.
William Gurnall
The sins of teachers are the teachers of sin.
William Gurnall
Pride of gifts robs us of God's blessing in the use of them.
William Gurnall
God is almighty to pardon, but He will not use His power for a shameless sinner. He is able to save and help in time of need, but if you have not repented, how can you expect His aid? The same power God expends on the believer's salvation will be spent on your damnation, for He has bound Himself under oath to destroy every impenitent soul.
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
CEASE to PRAY and thou will BEGIN to SIN.
William Gurnall
Our enemies are on every side, so must our armour be.
William Gurnall
Christ will bear no equal, and Satan no superior and therefore, hold in with both thou canst not.
