Many in his denomination didn’t preach the gospel. But J.C. Ryle was committed to proclaiming Christ no matter the circumstances. And God used that in a mighty way.

“Teach us to number our days,” prays the Psalmist, “that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” The testimony of Scottish preacher Robert Murray McCheyne both illustrates and demonstrates how true that is.
