Humility is a necessary veil to all other graces.
William Gurnall
Image
Paul was Nero's prisoner, but Nero was much more God's.
William Gurnall
Image
How many, alas, of the precious saints of God must we shut out from being believers, if there is no faith but what amounts to assurance.... shall we say their faith went away in the departure of their assurance?
William Gurnall
Image
Godliness, as well as the doctrine of our faith, is a mystery.
William Gurnall
Image
We have peace with God as soon as we believe, but not always with ourselves. The pardon may be past the prince's hand and seal, and yet not put into the prisoner's hand.
William Gurnall
Image
We fear men so much, because we fear God so little.
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
It is the saint's duty, and should be their care, not only to believe that God is Almighty, but also to strongly believe that His almighty power is engaged for our defense and help in all of our straits and temptations.
William Gurnall
Image
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.
William Gurnall
Image
He that loves the Word and the purity of its precepts cannot turn traitor.
William Gurnall
Image
Many lose heaven because they are ashamed to go in a fool's coat thither.
William Gurnall
Image
Let thy hope of heaven master thy fear of death. Why shouldst thou be afraid to die, who hopest to live by dying!
William Gurnall
Image
The mightier any is in the word, the more mighty he will be in prayer.
William Gurnall
Image
And while God had work for Paul, he found him friends both in court and prison. Let persecutors send saints to prison, God can provide a keeper for their turn.
William Gurnall
Image
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
Image
The chains of love are stronger than the chains of fear.
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
What is Jordan that I should wash in it? What is the preaching that I should attend on it, while I hear nothing but what I knew before? What are these beggarly elements of water, bread, and wine? Are not these the reasonings of a soul that forgets who appoints the means of grace?
William Gurnall
Image
It is no policy to let thy lusts have arms, which are sure to rise and declare against thee when thine enemy comes.
William Gurnall
Image
The grace thou hast will soon be less, if thou addest not more to it.
