Quotes from William Gurnall

Godliness, as well as the doctrine of our faith, is a mystery.

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.

The Word of God is too sacred a thing, and preaching too solemn a work, to be toyed and played with.

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.

Humility is a necessary veil to all other graces.

Of all creatures in this visible world, light is the most glorious; of all light, the light of the sun without compare excels the rest.

We live by faith, and faith lives by exercise.

We fear men so much, because we fear God so little.

Humble souls are fearful of their own strength.

Let thy hope of heaven master thy fear of death. Why shouldst thou be afraid to die, who hopest to live by dying!
