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 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 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 manage 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.
