As you love your peace, Christian, be plain-hearted with God and man, and keep the king's highway.
William Gurnall
Image
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
Image
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
Image
For a beggar to live at court is not so much as the King to dwell with him in his cottage.
William Gurnall
Image
Our enemies are on every side, so must our armour be.
William Gurnall
Image
Indeed all the saints are taught the same lesson - to renounce their own strength, and rely on the power of God their own policy, and cast themselves on the wisdom of God their own righteousness, and expect all from the pure mercy of God in Christ, which act of faith is so pleasing to God, that such a soul shall never be ashamed.
William Gurnall
Image
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
Image
Pray often rather than very long at a time. It is hard to be very long in prayer, and not slacken in our affections.
William Gurnall
Image
It is not only our duty to pray for others, but also to desire the prayers of others for ourselves.
William Gurnall
Image
Christ is the door that opens into God's presence and lets the soul into His very bosom, faith is the key that unlocks the door but the Spirit is He that makes this key.
William Gurnall
Image
The devil had as good have let Paul alone, for he no sooner comes into prison but he falls a preaching, at which the gates of Satan's prison fly open, and poor sinners come forth.
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
God's wounds cure, sin's kisses kill.
William Gurnall
Image
There is no such way to be even with the devil and his instruments, for all their spite against us, as by doing what good we can wherever we be come.
William Gurnall
Image
Godliness, as well as the doctrine of our faith, is a mystery.
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
The chains of love are stronger than the chains of fear.
William Gurnall
Image
Cowards never won heaven. Do not claim that you are begotten of God and you have His royal blood running in your veins unless you can prove your lineage by His heroic spirit: to dare to be holy in spite of men and devils.
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
To forsake sin, is to leave it without any thought reserved of returning to it again.
