God's wounds cure, sin's kisses kill.

Image
One Almighty is more than all mighties
William Gurnall
Image
The Christian in prayer comes up close to God, with a humble boldness of faith, and takes hold of him, wrestles with him yea, will not let him go without a blessing... They are only a few noble-spirited souls, who dare take heaven by force, that are fit for this calling.
William Gurnall
Image
Pride of gifts robs us of God's blessing in the use of them.
William Gurnall
Image
Thou hast no life to lose, because thou hast given it already to Christ, nor can man take away that without God's leave.

Paul was Nero's prisoner, but Nero was much more God's.
William Gurnall
Image
Satan will be ready to help forward such thoughts as a fit medium to lift thee up , and slacken thy care in duty for the future. Such discoveries do indeed bear witness to the truth of thy grace, but not to the degree and measure of it. The weak child may be, yea, is, oftener in the lap than the strong.
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
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
Image
The Christian is bred by the Word, and he must be fed by it.
William Gurnall
Image
The mightier any is in the word, the more mighty he will be in prayer.

Compare Scripture with Scripture. False doctrines, like false witnesses, agree not among themselves.
William Gurnall
Image
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
Image
As you love your peace, Christian, be plain-hearted with God and man, and keep the king's highway.
William Gurnall
Image
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
Image
It is one thing to know a truth, and another thing to know it by unction.
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
We live by faith, and faith lives by exercise.
William Gurnall
Image
Humble souls are fearful of their own strength.
William Gurnall
Image
Godliness is the child of truth, and it must be nursed by its own mother.
