I have to say that I agree with Francis Chan on many of his points! Much of the Church in America has become too much like the world we live in, fancy dancy! Years ago the late, great man of God, Chuck Colson said, “The Church has turned into a high school pep rally.” The fall has been happening for many, many years. Big buildings….money, money, walls of a Kingdom…like governments……What happened to THE GREAT COMMISSION? When is the last time you have seen people in extreme poverty, those that are severely disabled in Churches? I would love to know. Do Pastors make house calls? I would like to know. I know to few that do. Three is not much unity in the Church, there are Christian cliques. Pastors have told me the same thing, especially Pastors of smaller Churches. What does the body of Christ not understand about THE GREAT COMMISSION? IT IS A COMMAND, TO GO! GO!

THE CHRISTIAN POST REPORTS:
Pastor and bestselling author Francis Chan has criticized the Western Church for its lack of unity and obsession with busyness, stressing that the power and witness of the Body of Christ hinges on its oneness.
“We’re not sober-minded. We are taking in so much. We have no self-control. We wake up and we just want to see what’s going on,” the former California megachurch pastor told Exponential CEO Todd Wilson on Thursday.

I get sick to my stomach as stories like this come out. This is another wake up call for the Church!

Former Desiring God writer Paul Maxwell announces he’s no longer Christian
Paul Maxwell, a former Desiring God writer and the author of the book The Trauma of Doctrine, has announced he is no longer a Christian.
“What I really miss is connection with people,” Maxwell said on his Instagram feed. “What I’ve discovered is that I’m ready to connect again. And I’m kind of ready not to be angry anymore. I love you guys and I love all the friendships and support I’ve built here. And I think it’s important to say that I’m just not a Christian anymore, and it feels really good. I’m really happy.”
