Image
Paul was Nero's prisoner, but Nero was much more God's.
William Gurnall
Image
The chains of love are stronger than the chains of fear.
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
Image
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
Image
We live by faith, and faith lives by exercise.
William Gurnall
Image
Weak faith will as surely land the Christian in heaven as strong faith, for it is impossible the least dram of true grace should perish
