And now, unleashing God's truth, one verse at a time.

Here is Grace to you Bible teacher, John MacArthur.

It was about a week or so ago that I was in a panel discussion,

and it was being videoed. And the question came up about mental illness and I made

the comment there's no such thing as mental illness and I was told within a matter of a few hours

that blew up the Internet.

And one of the headlines was, doctor and woman preacher take issue with John MacArthur.

I don't know about the doctor, but I'm happy to take issue with a woman preacher.

That's fine.

But there were lots of other people who weighed in on what a horrendous thing I had just said.

And I know it's been circulating out there because people have been asking me about it.

An interesting phone call came in.

I just heard it this morning from a person who said,

I represent the leading psychologist in this country.

And also, we managed the largest facility for juveniles who commit adult crimes.

And I'm calling the church to let Pastor MacArthur know that everything he said is exactly true.
