More quotes by William Gurnall
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
Few are made better by prosperity, whom afflictions make worse.
William Gurnall
CEASE to PRAY and thou will BEGIN to SIN.
William Gurnall
Mercy should make us ashamed, wrath afraid to sin.
William Gurnall
Therefore tremble, O man, at any power thou hast, except thou usest it for God. Art thou strong in body who hath thy strength? God, or thy lusts?
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
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
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
Peace of conscience is nothing but the echo of pardoning mercy.
William Gurnall
The sins of teachers are the teachers of sin.
William Gurnall
Christ will bear no equal, and Satan no superior and therefore, hold in with both thou canst not.
William Gurnall
Many lose heaven because they are ashamed to go in a fool's coat thither.
William Gurnall
Truly, hope is the saint's covering, wherein he wraps himself, when he lays his body down to sleep in the grave: My flesh, saith David, shall rest in hope.
William Gurnall
Compare not thyself with those that have less than thyself, but look on those that have far exceeded thee.
William Gurnall
The Christian's life should put his minister's sermon in print.
William Gurnall
Prayer is nothing but the promise reversed, or God's Word formed into an argument, and retorted by faith upon God again.
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
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
One Almighty is more than all mighties
William Gurnall
The storm may be tempestuous, but it is only temporary.
