More quotes by William Gurnall
God would not rub so hard if it were not to fetch out the dirt that is ingrained in our natures. God loves purity so well He had rather see a hole than a spot in His child's garments.
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
Thou hast no life to lose, because thou hast given it already to Christ, nor can man take away that without God's leave.
William Gurnall
The Word of God is too sacred a thing, and preaching too solemn a work, to be toyed and played with.
William Gurnall
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
Oh, it is sad for a poor Christian to stand at the door of the promise, in the dark night of affliction, afraid to draw the latch, whereas he should then come boldly for shelter as a child into his father's house.
William Gurnall
For a beggar to live at court is not so much as the King to dwell with him in his cottage.
William Gurnall
Justifying faith is not a naked assent to the truths of the gospel.
William Gurnall
All the plots of hell and commotions on earth have not so much as shaken God's hand to spoil one letter or line he has been drawing.
William Gurnall
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
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
No torment in the world is comparable to an accusing conscience.
William Gurnall
We fear men so much, because we fear God so little.
William Gurnall
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
He that loves the Word and the purity of its precepts cannot turn traitor.
William Gurnall
How can God stoop lower than to come and dwell with a poor humble soul? Which is more than if he had said, such a one should dwell with him for a beggar to live at court is not so much as the king to dwell with him in his cottage.
William Gurnall
The Christian is bred by the Word, and he must be fed by it.
William Gurnall
Paul was Nero's prisoner, but Nero was much more God's.
William Gurnall
It is one thing to know a truth, and another thing to know it by unction.
William Gurnall
We must not confide in the armour of God, but in the God of this armour, because all our weapons are only mighty through God.
