More quotes by William Gurnall
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
For a beggar to live at court is not so much as the King to dwell with him in his cottage.
William Gurnall
CEASE to PRAY and thou will BEGIN to SIN.
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
The Christian, like a chalice without a base, cannot stand on his own nor hold what he has received any longer that God holds him in His strong hands.
William Gurnall
The soldier is summoned to a life of active duty and so is the Christian.
William Gurnall
God's wounds cure, sin's kisses kill.
William Gurnall
As you love your peace, Christian, be plain-hearted with God and man, and keep the king's highway.
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
The mightier any is in the word, the more mighty he will be in prayer.
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
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
The Christian in prayer comes up close to God, with a humble boldness of faith, and takes hold of him, wrestles with him yea, will not let him go without a blessing... They are only a few noble-spirited souls, who dare take heaven by force, that are fit for this calling.
William Gurnall
Godliness is the child of truth, and it must be nursed by its own mother.
William Gurnall
Peace of conscience is nothing but the echo of pardoning mercy.
William Gurnall
Praying is the same to the new creature as crying is to the natural. The child is not learned by art or example to cry, but instructed by nature it comes into the world crying. Praying is not a lesson got by forms and rules of art, but flowing from principles of new life itself.
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
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
Godliness, as well as the doctrine of our faith, is a mystery.
William Gurnall
Job's friends chose the right time to visit him, but took not the right course of improving their visit had they spent the time in praying for him which they did in hot disputes with him, they would have profited him, and pleased God more.
