Pro-life vid of day: Pastor bluntly preaches “abortion is murder”
by Hans Johnson
Matt Chandler is the pastor of The Village Church, an 11,000-member mega-church in Flower Mound, Texas. But he is no mild-tongued prosperity preacher. In an annual sermon, he faces the topic of abortion head on, as he has personally faced his own mortality in recovering from the removal of a malignant brain tumor, saying:
I need to — with all the boldness that the Holy Spirit will grant to me — tell everyone in this room that abortion is murder. It is the murder of a human being, I’m going to have to say it, I’m going to show it to you in the Word, I want to prove it to you with Science. … It’s a holocaust like the world has yet to see.
This video is an excerpt from last year’s sermon:

Wow. Great video.
Preaching to the converted. Those who agree with him will feel good. Everyone else will ignore him.
Reality,
If you think that agreeing with him will make you feel good, you’re not really listening.
Instead of being rare this cry against America’s ongoing genocide of the most innocent among us should be made twice a year from every pulpit in America with a subsequent call to action.
Wake up Church!
No Hans, it’s him agreeing with what some already think which makes them feel good.
Some churches condone abortion don’t they Ed H?
It is heartening to see a Christian pastor preaching the truth about abortion from the pulpit. May God continue to bless him greatly.
He’s preaching opinion truthseeker, his version of truth. Not everyone’s.
Thank you Matt Chandler!!
Yes Reality, sadly.
It’s part of the ongoing crisis in our world. The fact that most people are spiritually dead and on their way to a devil’s hell is tragic, perhaps even more tragic than the genocide of abortion.
The good news for you Reality is that you don’t have to be one of these people. If you will just seek God with all of your heart, you will find Him. He will reveal Himself to you, His glorious plan of salvation and He’ll adopt you into His Family.
I sincerely hope and pray Reality that you repent before it’s too late.
All the best…
The fact that most people are spiritually dead and on their way to a devil’s hell is tragic – don’t be sad Ed H. It’s not tragic, it’s untrue.
Been there, done that. Nothing there.
I have nothing to repent.
I wish you well.
I think congratulations are in order Reality.
I believe you and I just had the most polite, civil exchange between opposing opinions of faith and unbelief in the history of this board.
Well done.
Surely the congratulations go to both of us Ed H, thank you.
Well perhaps it was so because it appears that you accept my position regarding faith as much as I accept yours. It does get a bit tiresome, albeit amusing, when people cite scripture at me in an attempt to convince me.
Good on you.
This pastor is great. I watched his sermon again and it was even more powerful the second time.
If you can google Jesus Wants the Rose with Matt Chandler.
Oh my heart.
Jesus Does Indeed Want the Rose!
Thanks.
God bless him!
And abortion is and always will be murder!
