Image
The longer a soul hath neglected duty, the more ado there is to get it taken up.
William Gurnall
Image
Pride of gifts robs us of God's blessing in the use of them.

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

William Gurnall
Image
Christ hath told us He will come, but not when, that we might never put off our clothes, or put out the candle.

Image
Compare Scripture with Scripture. False doctrines, like false witnesses, agree not among themselves.
William Gurnall
Image
We are justified, not by giving anything to God,--what we do,--but by receiving from God, what Christ hath done for us.
William Gurnall
Image
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
Image
The Christian is bred by the Word, and he must be fed by it.
William Gurnall
Image
Least doers are the greatest boasters.
William Gurnall
Image
Our enemies are on every side, so must our armour be.
William Gurnall
Image
Of all creatures in this visible world, light is the most glorious of all light, the light of the sun without compare excels the rest.
William Gurnall
Image
Nothing is more contrary to a heavenly hope than an earthly heart.
William Gurnall
Image
Whoever hath a seed time of grace pass over his soul, shall have his harvest time also of joy.
