More quotes by William Gurnall
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
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
Peace of conscience is nothing but the echo of pardoning mercy.
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
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 no policy to let thy lusts have arms, which are sure to rise and declare against thee when thine enemy comes.
William Gurnall
The mightier any is in the word, the more mighty he will be in prayer.
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
We fear men so much, because we fear God so little.
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.
William Gurnall
One Almighty is more than all mighties
William Gurnall
Godliness is the child of truth, and it must be nursed by its own mother.
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
God's wounds cure, sin's kisses kill.
William Gurnall
The soldier is summoned to a life of active duty and so is the Christian.
William Gurnall
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
The longer a soul hath neglected duty, the more ado there is to get it taken up.
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
Mercy should make us ashamed, wrath afraid to sin.
William Gurnall
Humble souls are fearful of their own strength.
