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.

More quotes by 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
We must come to good works by faith, and not to faith by good works.
William Gurnall
The Christian must stand fixed to his principles, and not change his habit but freely show what countryman he is by his holy constancy in the truth.
William Gurnall
Cease to pray and thou will begin to sin. Prayer is not only a means to prevail for mercy but also to prevent sin.
William Gurnall
Satan will be ready to help forward such thoughts as a fit medium to lift thee up , and slacken thy care in duty for the future. Such discoveries do indeed bear witness to the truth of thy grace, but not to the degree and measure of it. The weak child may be, yea, is, oftener in the lap than the strong.
William Gurnall
The sins of teachers are the teachers of sin.
William Gurnall
To forsake sin, is to leave it without any thought reserved of returning to it again.
William Gurnall
Justifying faith is not a naked assent to the truths of the gospel.
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
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
The Christian, like a chalice without a base, cannot stand on his own nor hold what he has received any longer that God holds him in His strong hands.
William Gurnall
The Christian must trust in a withdrawing God.
William Gurnall
God Himself underwrites your battle and has appointed His own Son 'the captain of your salvation'.
William Gurnall
CEASE to PRAY and thou will BEGIN to SIN.
William Gurnall
God loves the saints as the purchase of his Son's blood. They cost him dear, and that which is so hardly got shall not be easily lost. He that was willing to expend his Son's blood to gain them, will not deny his power to keep them.
William Gurnall
Many lose heaven because they are ashamed to go in a fool's coat thither.
William Gurnall
Compare Scripture with Scripture. False doctrines, like false witnesses, agree not among themselves.
William Gurnall
Godliness, as well as the doctrine of our faith, is a mystery.
William Gurnall
The longer a soul hath neglected duty, the more ado there is to get it taken up.
William Gurnall
The soldier is summoned to a life of active duty and so is the Christian.
William Gurnall
