Mercy should make us ashamed, wrath afraid to sin.
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
Humility is a necessary veil to all other graces.
William Gurnall
Image
Let thy hope of heaven master thy fear of death.
William Gurnall
Image
Weak faith will as surely land the Christian in heaven as strong faith, for it is impossible the least dram of true grace should perish
William Gurnall
Image
Never venture near the door where sin dwells, lest you are dragged in.
William Gurnall
Image
To forsake sin, is to leave it without any thought reserved of returning to it again.
William Gurnall
Image
God hath made it a debt which one saint owes to another to carry their names to a throne of grace.
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
The regenerating Spirit is compared to the wind. His first attempts on the soul may be so secret that the creature knows not whence they come, or whither they tend but, before he hath done, the sound will be heard throughout the soul.
William Gurnall
Image
Praying is the same to the new creature as crying is to the natural. The child is not learned by art or example to cry, but instructed by nature it comes into the world crying. Praying is not a lesson got by forms and rules of art, but flowing from principles of new life itself.
William Gurnall
Image
If thou beest ever so exact in thy morals, and not a worshiper of God, then thou art an atheist.
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
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.
William Gurnall
Image
God is almighty to pardon, but He will not use His power for a shameless sinner. He is able to save and help in time of need, but if you have not repented, how can you expect His aid? The same power God expends on the believer's salvation will be spent on your damnation, for He has bound Himself under oath to destroy every impenitent soul.
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.
William Gurnall
Image
Pride of gifts robs us of God's blessing in the use of them.
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
Christ will bear no equal, and Satan no superior and therefore, hold in with both thou canst not.
