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
Image
God Himself underwrites your battle and has appointed His own Son 'the captain of your salvation'.
William Gurnall
Image
Few are made better by prosperity, whom afflictions make worse.
William Gurnall
Image
Nothing is more contrary to a heavenly hope than an earthly heart.
William Gurnall
Image
In heaven we shall appear, not in armour, but in robes of glory. But here these are to be worn night and day we must walk, work, and sleep in them, or else we are not true soldiers of Christ.
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
Godliness is the child of truth, and it must be nursed by its own mother.
William Gurnall
Image
Christ bears with the saints' imperfections well may the saints one with another.
William Gurnall
Image
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
Image
Least doers are the greatest boasters.
William Gurnall
Image
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
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 are justified, not by giving anything to God,--what we do,--but by receiving from God, what Christ hath done for us.
William Gurnall
Image
CEASE to PRAY and thou will BEGIN to SIN.
William Gurnall
Image
Can Christ be in thou heart and thou not know it? Can one king be dethroned and another crowned in thy soul and thou hear no scuffle?
William Gurnall
Image
We fear men so much, because we fear God so little.
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
The Christian is bred by the Word, and he must be fed by it.
William Gurnall
Image
Compare Scripture with Scripture. False doctrines, like false witnesses, agree not among themselves.
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.
