We fear men so much, because we fear God so little.
William Gurnall
Image
Oh, it is sad for a poor Christian to stand at the door of the promise, in the dark night of affliction, afraid to draw the latch, whereas he should then come boldly for shelter as a child into his father's house.
William Gurnall
Image
The longer a soul hath neglected duty, the more ado there is to get it taken up.
William Gurnall
