Image
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
Image
Bid faith look through the key-hole of the promise, and tell thee what it sees there laid up for him that overcomes bid it listen and tell thee whether it cannot hear the shout of those crowned saints, as of those that are dividing the spoil, and receiving the reward of all their services and sufferings here on earth.
William Gurnall
Image
The regenerating Spirit is compared to the wind. His first attempts on the soul may be so secret that the creature knows not whence they come, or whither they tend but, before he hath done, the sound will be heard throughout the soul.
William Gurnall
Image
The sins of teachers are the teachers of sin.
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.

Image
The longer a soul hath neglected duty, the more ado there is to get it taken up.
William Gurnall
Image
The Word of God is too sacred a thing, and preaching too solemn a work, to be toyed and played with.
William Gurnall
Image
The storm may be tempestuous, but it is only temporary.
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
Say not that thou hast royal blood in thy veins say not that thou art born of God if thou canst not prove thy pedigree by daring to be holy!
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
Christ is the door that opens into God's presence and lets the soul into His very bosom, faith is the key that unlocks the door but the Spirit is He that makes this key.
William Gurnall
Image
Peace of conscience is nothing but the echo of pardoning mercy.
William Gurnall
Image
Least doers are the greatest boasters.
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
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
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
Image
He that loves the Word and the purity of its precepts cannot turn traitor.
William Gurnall
Image
God would not rub so hard if it were not to fetch out the dirt that is ingrained in our natures. God loves purity so well He had rather see a hole than a spot in His child's garments.
William Gurnall
Image
Pray often rather than very long at a time. It is hard to be very long in prayer, and not slacken in our affections.
