Image
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
Image
God hath made it a debt which one saint owes to another to carry their names to a throne of grace.
William Gurnall
Image
The chains of love are stronger than the chains of fear.
William Gurnall
Image
And while God had work for Paul, he found him friends both in court and prison. Let persecutors send saints to prison, God can provide a keeper for their turn.
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 devil had as good have let Paul alone, for he no sooner comes into prison but he falls a preaching, at which the gates of Satan's prison fly open, and poor sinners come forth.
William Gurnall
Image
Nothing is more contrary to a heavenly hope than an earthly heart.
William Gurnall
Image
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
Image
Never venture near the door where sin dwells, lest you are dragged in.
William Gurnall
Image
Thou hast no life to lose, because thou hast given it already to Christ, nor can man take away that without God's leave.
William Gurnall
Image
The soldier is summoned to a life of active duty and so is the Christian.
William Gurnall
Image
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
Image
It is the saint's duty, and should be their care, not only to believe that God is Almighty, but also to strongly believe that His almighty power is engaged for our defense and help in all of our straits and temptations.
William Gurnall
Image
We must come to good works by faith, and not to faith by good works.
William Gurnall
Image
Our enemies are on every side, so must our armour be.
William Gurnall
Image
In heaven we shall appear, not in armour, but in robes of glory. But here these are to be worn night and day we must walk, work, and sleep in them, or else we are not true soldiers of Christ.
William Gurnall
Image
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
Image
He that loves the Word and the purity of its precepts cannot turn traitor.
William Gurnall
Image
Set a strong guard about thy outward senses: these are Satan's landing places, especially the eye and the ear.
William Gurnall
Image
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
