More quotes by William Gurnall
Pride of gifts robs us of God's blessing in the use of them.
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
It is no policy to let thy lusts have arms, which are sure to rise and declare against thee when thine enemy comes.
William Gurnall
Godliness is the child of truth, and it must be nursed by its own mother.
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
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
Mercy should make us ashamed, wrath afraid to sin.
William Gurnall
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
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
The Christian's life should put his minister's sermon in print.
William Gurnall
Compare Scripture with Scripture. False doctrines, like false witnesses, agree not among themselves.
William Gurnall
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
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
How many, alas, of the precious saints of God must we shut out from being believers, if there is no faith but what amounts to assurance.... shall we say their faith went away in the departure of their assurance?
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
The Christian is bred by the Word, and he must be fed by it.
William Gurnall
Paul was Nero's prisoner, but Nero was much more God's.
William Gurnall
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
Pray often rather than very long at a time. It is hard to be very long in prayer, and not slacken in our affections.
William Gurnall
As you love your peace, Christian, be plain-hearted with God and man, and keep the king's highway.
