Please Pray: Matt Chandler and Johnny Hunt
From Mark Driscoll earlier today: My friend Pastor Matt Chandler apparently had a seizure, passed out, fell and hit his head, bit his tongue, got a black eye, & was rushed to the ER. ....he will see a neurosurgeon next week regarding a small mass they found on his frontal lobe. He texted saying he's surrounded with love from his family & church. This one has hit me hard. He is a wonderful friend, amazing preacher, & dear brother. I'm sure his wife & kids are in a tough spot & we'll ke...ep you posted. Knowing Matt, the gospel will ring out strong. He's the best. From Johnny Hunt, President of the Southern Baptist Convention earlier this week: I wanted to drop you a note

Louie Giglio: So, So Grateful
From Louie Giglio: It’s not hard for Shelley and me to remember back to late spring 1995. It was a turbulent time in our lives as we said goodbye to ten years of campus ministry in Texas, leaving behind the students we loved and a movement we had leveraged what little we had for. Our plan, though uncertain, was to move to Atlanta to help my mom care for my dad who had become disabled seven years earlier as a result of a rare brain virus. Helping her was unmistakably clear.

Who couldn’t care less if I win Grammy Awards.” Mac doesn’t hesitate to provide an example. He recalls a sold-out arena. A crowd chanting the band’s name. “Third Day!

Will you change this diaper?” “I’m humble because I can’t help but stay humble,” says Mac. And Aimee isn’t the only one to keep “Papa�

The Real Islam
From Boundless: Now it's true that there's a lot more to Islam than you'll glean from the likes of bin Laden. But it's also true that there's a lot more to it than strictly individual, spiritual struggle. What UNC may be trying to tell students about Islam is "hey, there's no reason we can't all just get along." And if that's their message, they're not promoting understanding of Islam so much as they're whitewashing it. Don't get me wrong. I don't think the story of the Middle East is a simple tale of noble Amer
