Not Knowing God

“After that whole generation had been gathered to their fathers, another generation grew up, who knew neither the LORD nor what he had done for Israel.” – Judges 2:10

In 2021, Paul Maxwell, a former Desiring God writer and the author of the book “The Trauma of Doctrine”, announced he is no longer a Christian.

Maxwell is a high-profile preacher with a Ph.D. in theology at Wheaton and a B.A. in Biblical language from Moody.

Despite writing several Christian books, he announced in 2021 on his Instagram that he was no longer a Christian. He also said, “… it feels perfect. I’m really happy.”

Maxwell served as a professor of Philosophy at the Moody Bible Institute (MBI) from 2015—2017. Before that, Maxwell was an acquisitions editor for church leader resources with Moody Publishers and a teaching and research assistant for Dr. Kevin Vanhoozer at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School.

Knowing Jesus and having a deep personal relationship with Him needs to be our first priority in life.

Thank Jesus that He saved you, and you can know Him better.

“They that deny a God, destroy man’s nobility: for certainly man is of kin to the beast by his body; and if he be not kin to God by his spirit, he is a base and ignoble creature.” – Francis Bacon

“Formerly, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those who, by nature, are not gods.” – Galatians 4:8
