Never was a faithful prayer lost. Some prayers have a longer voyage than others, but then they return with their richer lading at last, so that the praying soul is a gainer by waiting for an answer.
William Gurnall
Image
We must come to good works by faith, and not to faith by good works.

Image
Nothing is more contrary to a heavenly hope than an earthly heart.
William Gurnall
Image
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
Image
God hath made it a debt which one saint owes to another to carry their names to a throne of grace.
William Gurnall
Image
Can Christ be in thou heart and thou not know it? Can one king be dethroned and another crowned in thy soul and thou hear no scuffle?
William Gurnall
Image
Let thy hope of heaven master thy fear of death. Why shouldst thou be afraid to die, who hopest to live by dying!

Compare Scripture with Scripture. False doctrines, like false witnesses, agree not among themselves.
William Gurnall
Image
Christ is the door that opens into God's presence and lets the soul into His very bosom, faith is the key that unlocks the door but the Spirit is He that makes this key.

William Gurnall
Image
The Christian must trust in a withdrawing God.
William Gurnall
Image
We fear men so much, because we fear God so little.
William Gurnall
Image
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
Image
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
Job's friends chose the right time to visit him, but took not the right course of improving their visit had they spent the time in praying for him which they did in hot disputes with him, they would have profited him, and pleased God more.
William Gurnall
Image
Bid faith look through the key-hole of the promise, and tell thee what it sees there laid up for him that overcomes bid it listen and tell thee whether it cannot hear the shout of those crowned saints, as of those that are dividing the spoil, and receiving the reward of all their services and sufferings here on earth.
William Gurnall
Image
In heaven we shall appear, not in armour, but in robes of glory. But here these are to be worn night and day we must walk, work, and sleep in them, or else we are not true soldiers of Christ.
William Gurnall
Image
Justifying faith is not a naked assent to the truths of the gospel.
