When Bad Things Happen...

Matt Chandler, Lead Pastor of The Village Church in the Dallas area, had a seizure Thanksgiving weekend and doctors found that he had a mass on his frontal brain lobe. He was in surgery over the weekend to take the tumor out and just last night was released from ICU, although is still in recovery. Here is the video that he taped last week before the surgery that was shown to his congregation.

The message is clear: no matter how good God has been to you, or no matter what bad things that God has allowed to happen to you, "to live is Christ and to die is gain." Nothing tops being with Him in this life and in the next.
