Transcript
Stephen Nichols: Today, I am joined, once again, with a dear friend of mine—actually, a former professor of mine when I was in seminary—my favorite Scotsman, Dr. Sinclair Ferguson.
Sinclair Ferguson: It’s true, we were at seminary together.
SN: We were at seminary together. I believe you were the professor, and I was the student, at that point.

Sermons of Robert M. M'Cheyne (M'Cheyne)
Description
No Christian can read the biography or Sermons of Robert Murray M’Cheyne without realizing that the true measure of life is not its length but its usefulness. He ministered but a short seven-and-a-half years, and died at the age of 29, yet the fruitfulness of that brief life remains to this day.
Nor does the amount of our activity or our words reflect the true value of our life. Robert Murray M’Cheyne left notes of only some 200 sermons when he died in 1843, but his own counsel to a fellow minister explains why these sermons brought such abundant blessing not only to ‘the noisy mechanics and political weavers’ of Dundee but, later, to all parts of the English-speaking world:

A word spoken by you when your conscience is clear, and your heart full of God’s Spirit, is worth ten thousand words spoken in unbelief and sin’.
