The Frank And Manly Mr. Ryle

                As I started out on a short trip today I quickly Googled a YouTube on J. C. Ryle. Ryle....the Anglican Bishop of Liverpool.....and the Baptist Charles Haddon Spurgeon....were the two great lights in England in the latter half of the nineteenth century. Though the bodies of these men have long since been laid in the ground....their ministries continue with great effect.....well over a century later....through their writings and their sermons. 
                What came up today was actually a lecture by John Piper....on J. C. Ryle....at what appeared to be a conference for pastors. It was such a blessing to listen to that I thought it deserved a post of its own. If you are a pastor who came across this post of mine....is there any reason that you would not want to listen to this. I mean....John Piper....it's not like it's me lecturing....but I think that anyone would be blessed by.....attending this lecture. Just Google the title of this post....The Frank And Manly Mr. Ryle!
