More quotes by William Gurnall

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
God hath made it a debt which one saint owes to another to carry their names to a throne of grace.
William Gurnall
The Christian's life should put his minister's sermon in print.
William Gurnall
The grace thou hast will soon be less, if thou addest not more to it.
William Gurnall
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
Whoever hath a seed time of grace pass over his soul, shall have his harvest time also of joy.
William Gurnall
Pride of gifts robs us of God's blessing in the use of them.
William Gurnall
Never venture near the door where sin dwells, lest you are dragged in.
William Gurnall
He that loves the Word and the purity of its precepts cannot turn traitor.
William Gurnall
The Christian is to proclaim and prosecute an irreconcilable war against his bosom sins those sins which have lain nearest his heart, must now be trampled under his feet.
