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.”

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. Years ago the late, great man of God Chuck Colson said, “The Church has turned into a high school pep rally.”

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.
