More quotes by William Gurnall
Let thy hope of heaven master thy fear of death.
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.
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
It is not only our duty to pray for others, but also to desire the prayers of others for ourselves.
William Gurnall
The Christian must stand fixed to his principles, and not change his habit but freely show what countryman he is by his holy constancy in the truth.
William Gurnall

Godliness, as well as the doctrine of our faith, is a mystery.
William Gurnall
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
Godliness is the child of truth, and it must be nursed by its own mother.
William Gurnall
We need not borrow and take up sorrows upon use of the morrow, to make up our present load as we read of daily bread, so of a daily cross, Luke ix. M, which we are bid to take, not to make.
William Gurnall
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
Humility is a necessary veil to all other graces.
William Gurnall
Compare Scripture with Scripture. False doctrines, like false witnesses, agree not among themselves.
William Gurnall
Christ hath told us He will come, but not when, that we might never put off our clothes, or put out the candle.
William Gurnall
To forsake sin, is to leave it without any thought reserved of returning to it again.
William Gurnall
The mightier any is in the word, the more mighty he will be in prayer.
William Gurnall
God Himself underwrites your battle and has appointed His own Son 'the captain of your salvation'.
William Gurnall
Humble souls are fearful of their own strength.
William Gurnall
We fear men so much, because we fear God so little.
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.
