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
Godliness, as well as the doctrine of our faith, is a mystery.
William Gurnall
Image
We are justified, not by giving anything to God,--what we do,--but by receiving from God, what Christ hath done for us.
William Gurnall
Image
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
Image
He that is impatient, and cannot wait on God for a mercy, will not easily submit to Him in a denial.
William Gurnall
Image
Christ bears with the saints' imperfections well may the saints one with another.
William Gurnall
Image
The sins of teachers are the teachers of sin.

For a beggar to live at court is not so much as the King to dwell with him in his cottage.
William Gurnall
Image
It is one thing to know a truth, and another thing to know it by unction.
William Gurnall

When people do not mind what God speaks to them in His word, God doth as little mind what they say to Him in prayer.
