Charles Spurgeon · 1 Peter 5:7
A cure for care
Spurgeon treats excessive worry as a form of distrust rather than a mood, and prescribes something to do about it instead of asking you to feel differently.
A Cure for Care · 12 January 1862
Charles Spurgeon · Matthew 11:28
The two rests
Spurgeon finds two different rests in the same passage, one received at once and one that takes years, and argues that confusing them is why many people think it did not work for them.
Rest, Rest · 8 January 1871
Charles Spurgeon · Romans 8:28
All things work together
Spurgeon takes the verse apart word by word and stops on two: that it says we know and not we believe, and that things work together, not each one on its own.
The True Christian's Blessedness · 18 October 1857
D. L. Moody · Galatians 6:7
Sowing and reaping
Moody treats sowing and reaping as a law that enforces itself, works it out in four rules, and ends on the question almost nobody wants to answer: what forgiveness does to a harvest already sown.
Sowing and Reaping · Published 1896
Charles Spurgeon · Job 35:10
Songs in the night
Spurgeon takes half a sentence buried in Elihu's speech and builds a whole argument on it: anyone can sing in daylight; the song that counts is sung in the dark, and that one is not manufactured but given.
Songs in the Night · Preached at New Park Street; published 27 February 1898
Charles Spurgeon · John 3:16
Immeasurable love
Spurgeon walks through the most quoted verse in the Bible word by word and plants himself on the smallest one: the so that the text itself leaves unmeasured, because it cannot be measured.
Immeasurable Love · 7 June 1885
D. L. Moody · Ephesians 3:19
Love that passeth knowledge
Moody opens his best known book with a simple diagnosis: people do not stay away from God because they do not care, but because they are convinced God hates them, and the whole chapter is a barrage of stories against that conviction.
Love that Passeth Knowledge · Published 1884
