And now unleashing God's truth one verse at a time, here's grace to you Bible teacher,

John MacArthur.

You are probably not supposed to be here as far as recovery time goes.

Are you done with extreme motor sports? Just let us know where you're at, MacArthur.

Well, I feel great. I've felt good, really generally speaking before it became apparent that

And coming out of that, that was completely successful, for which I'm thankful.
