Pastor John MacArthur, who appeared frail, delivered a video message to the Shepherds Conference, expressing gratitude for ongoing support, while acknowledging that he is on his “last lap” as he continues to recover after seven weeks in the hospital.

In the video shared on social media, the 85-year-old pastor of Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California, said he felt well, though his strength had diminished during his hospitalization.

“I want to say grace to you, all [of] you who are at the Shepherds Conference. For me, it’s the highlight of the year, so you have to know my disappointment in coming to you through video,” he told attendees of the conference held March 5-7.

His "anti-Catholicism" irritated me, but I wish him a speedy recovery just the same.

I also hope he eventually enjoys eternity in heaven, although I think that might be after some time in the purgatory he doesn't believe in.

My aunt and uncle were founding members of Grace. So I remember him from the beginning when he was the new pastor. Not everyone in the family considers him to be their favorite pastor, if you know what I mean. But there's no denying that he has thoroughly dedicated his life to serving Christ.
