GOD'S Wounds Cure-- Sin's Kisses Kill.

Choice gems from William Gurnall

  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~

The gospel is GOD'S heart in print!

  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~

That book must be worth reading--

that has GOD for the author!

  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~

Do not say that  you love CHRIST, so long 

as you can lay those sins in your bosom--

which plucked HIS heart out of HIS bosom! 

It were strange if a child should keep, 

and delight to use, no other knife but that 

with which his mother was stabbed to death!

  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~

The pleasures of sin must needs be 

short, because life cannot be long--

and they both end together.

  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~

Cease to pray--

and you will begin to sin.

Prayer is not only a means 

to prevail for mercy--

but also to prevent sin.

  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~

To forsake sin, is to leave it 

without any thought reserved 

of returning to it again.

  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~

The sheep may fall into a ditch--

but it is the swine that wallows in it!

Take heed of deliberate sins! 

  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~

"He who is his own teacher, 

is sure to have a fool for a master!"

  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~

Of all men out of Hell, none more 

to be pitied than he who hangs over 

the mouth of it, and yet is fearless 

of his danger.

  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~

A Christian should deny himself 

of the world's carnal joys and delights, 

lest the ungodly say, "These Christians 

draw their joy out of our cistern!"

  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~

He who has GOD'S heart--

cannot lack HIS arm!

  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~

It is impossible for an evil heart, 

to think well of an afflicting GOD.

  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~

"Faithful are the wounds of a friend--
but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful." 
Proverbs 27:6 

GOD'S wounds cure--

sin's kisses kill.
