William Gurnall

"“It is impossible to sin with lively thoughts and hopes of the glory of heaven. It’s when the thoughts of heaven are long out of the Christian’s sight that he begins to set up some idol. But let heaven come in sight, and the Christian’s heart will be well warmed with thoughts of it. It is easier to persuade a king to throw his crown into a gutter, than to persuade a heaven-focused saint to sin.”"

- William Gurnall

"A minister, without boldness, is like a smooth file, a knife without an edge, a sentinel that is afraid to let off his gun. If men will be bold in sin, ministers must be bold to reprove."

- William Gurnall

"Satan cannot deny but that great wonders have been wrought by prayer. As the spirit of prayer goes up, so his kingdom goes down."
