More quotes by William Gurnall
Blind zeal is soon put to a shameful retreat, while holy resolution, built on fast principles, lifts up its head like a rock in the midst of the waves.
William Gurnall
It is one thing to know a truth, and another thing to know it by unction.
William Gurnall
The storm may be tempestuous, but it is only temporary.
William Gurnall
Godliness, as well as the doctrine of our faith, is a mystery.
William Gurnall
He that loves the Word and the purity of its precepts cannot turn traitor.
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
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
Compare not thyself with those that have less than thyself, but look on those that have far exceeded thee.
William Gurnall
Godliness is the child of truth, and it must be nursed by its own mother.
William Gurnall
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
No torment in the world is comparable to an accusing conscience.
William Gurnall
Never venture near the door where sin dwells, lest you are dragged in.
William Gurnall
Set a strong guard about thy outward senses: these are Satan's landing places, especially the eye and the ear.
William Gurnall
Let thy hope of heaven master thy fear of death.
William Gurnall
God Himself underwrites your battle and has appointed His own Son 'the captain of your salvation'.
William Gurnall
Christ bears with the saints' imperfections well may the saints one with another.
William Gurnall
Our enemies are on every side, so must our armour be.
William Gurnall
We have peace with God as soon as we believe, but not always with ourselves. The pardon may be past the prince's hand and seal, and yet not put into the prisoner's hand.
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
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.
William Gurnall
