"Membership in the family of God is neither inconsequential or something to be casually ignored. The church is God's agenda for the world. Jesus said, "I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it." The church is indestructable and will exist for eternity. It will outlive this universe, and so will your role in it."

- Rick Warren
Pray for Matt Chandler

Please pray for Matt Chandler, Pastor of the Village Church outside Dallas, and for his wife and kids and church. After suffering a seizure and falling last week, he was rushed to the hospital where an MRI disclosed a mass in his frontal lobe. He is undergoing surgery to remove the tumor on Friday. The neurosurgeons are not sure of its malignancy but will perform a biopsy.

Matt's preaching and ministry have impacted thousands and thousands, including me.

His statements reveal his rock solid faith in the sovereign goodness of God and a peace that passes understanding.

Let's pray this is all some huge mistake. Or that God heals him.

I think it's cool that Matt named his tumor Keyser Sose.

I am excited to see how someone as gifted as Matt uses this episode in his life for the glory of God. I pray that he will be able to speak about it (and anything else) soon. It will be intense.
