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

William Gurnall
Image
The chains of love are stronger than the chains of fear.
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.
