*Larry Burkett's book on "Giving and Tithing" drew me closer to God and helped my spirituality. 2020 was a year I literally lived it. I cashed in my life savings and gave it all away. My total giving amounted to 40,000 dollars. Everyone thought I was delusional. Today, 1 receive 85,000 dollars every two months. I have a property in Calabasas, CA, and travel a lot. God has promoted me more than once and opened doors for me to live beyond my dreams. God kept to his promises to and for me*

They take your money and tell you what you want to hear, which makes you loyal and, thus, ignorant, so you leap to his defense without knowing anything about the charges or circumstances. Just blind loyalty. You're an easy mark.

[@ceciliaramos2280]

Yes. We need to know. What sin did he commit? He is in the public eye. He should be exposed. His son shouldn’t be coveting for him. He should be calling him to speak his sin and repent. Stop covering for these churches. Are you covering for Robert Morris too.🙄

have you seen the robert Morris hidden sin? Morris never reached out to the victim or confessed it until it came out. sex with a 12 year old

We know it was so bad he was forced to step down and he didn’t do so willingly, so they make it sound like he was unrepentant.

[@MomRivera-ur5jk]

He just got caught. You think his buddy Robert Morris just happened to get exposed around the same time? Look at both of these men, with their loyal followers just like we can expect when we follow the Word of God first. They disqualify themselves and just know you all will be cool with them handing the torch to their sons. Nepotism is alive and well and the these big mega institutions of money making are having their lampstands removed.

[@Tresieful]

I agree. I have so much respect for him. He seems like a wonderful father and husband.

Pastor Tony evans has been a big part of my Christian walk. I bought his series CDs a decade or so ago. My heart dropped when I heard this news. It’s a reminder that the enemy is after all of us- no one are righteous no not one. We have to pray for our pastor and leaders of our church. Tony Evans is man not a god. He is a target for the enemy just as we are- pastors n leaders even more. He is a Bible teacher and Tony Evans has taught us to keep our eyes on Jesus to always seek the Lord, study the Bible ourselves. I love pastor Tony Evans and will be praying for him and his family. He was a blessing to me. I grew in wisdom n knowledge b/c of pastor Tony Evans. May God restore him and heal him whatever he needs to keep doing Gods work. 🙏❤️

My wife I am not Black, we are Latino. However, growing up I looked up to Dr. Tony Evans as a minority who preached faithfully God’s word. My dad was our Sr. Pastor and while I never wanted to, deep in my heart I would say “I’d love to preach like Dr. Evans in Spanish.” My wife and I grew up listening to Dr. Evans in the '90s, now that I am grown up, I am about to be the new Lead Pastor after my dad’s retirement at my church. Suffice it to say, I was blessed to study in schools my dad would have loved to have had the opportunity; I learned that God’s justice is not retributive as many preach. God’s justice is restorative. I pray for Dr. Evans’ restoration. I long for one day to hear Dr. Evans preach again. If I could, I would have him come preach at my church and I would translate for him in Spanish. Remember all! God’s justice is restorative, and Jesus is the prime example of this. We are called to call all who are willing to come to be restored. The climax of the gospel message is not the forgiveness of sin! That is only the beginning. The climax of the gospel message is reconciliation and restoration. The climax of Christianity is not the cross as important as it is. The climax of Christianity is Resurrection. I pray for resurrection power and healing and restoration for Dr. Evans. Yes, even many Wesleyans like me listen to and respect Dr. Evans!

[@8td8tr]

Thank you Sir. Such kind words you spoke about Dr Tony Evans. May you continue to preach God's word. Be blessed in Jesus Name.

My 10 year old son asked to stay in the adult service with me that day. He was on the edge of his seat during the whole service, and afterwards he said, mom who was that guy? I’ve never understood a sermon like I did today. God bless him, we are all human and there are many temptations in this evil world. May God’s grace cover you Tony Evans.

[@lisagooch3740]

~~ Absolutely wonderful sermon ~~. It is spiritually revealed to me that this situation is simply a TEST (for those whom Pastor Evans has raised, served, and ministered to) to now step up, hold him up, and demonstrate what they've learned from his fatherhood, his teachings, his wonderful leadership, and from studying God's word. I'm so proud that God is pleased with the revelation of how those whom Pastor Evans has reached has been paying attention, been intimately connected with God, and have stepped up to the plate and have come to his rescue; not in support of any wrong-doing but to meet him right where he is. I've been tremendously blessed by his ministry. He has indicated, in his sermons, that he is not perfect and has sinned like the rest of us. Abrupt interruptions to flowing rhythms of life places true family members in position to take their rightful places as team members and supporters, in the manner that God has ordained them to. I see only good in this situation, in the absence of my knowledge of details to what interrupted the flowing rhythm. This is truly the time to confirm that God allows challenges, so that in the end, He gets the glory. Keep triumphing for God, son, family, and church family! This is all of your time to return the unfailing support to Pastor Evans' that he has been to you!! Only those who take the first step towards deliverance can get a prayer through to God. That first step is ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of sin; a respectable position to be in.

Does he even know what his father's sin is or was? It's easy to applaud him for coming forward if we don't even know what the sin was. We know that his buddy Robert Morris just now got exposed after decades of being praised. Careful y'all. Keep your eyes fixed on Christ and stop idolizing these fallen men. Yes we all sin. Before yall get all worked up. Of course. But there is a higher standard for a man that stewards the Word of God. This hurts and people need to stop making excuses. Forgiveness is fine but there needs to be accountability and repentance. Not just stepping aside because they got caught.

That's what I see missing in some of these comments. Compassion, love, and mercy. I see a lot of repent, and he has to get straight. Dr. Tony has served and operated in integrity. Many people have come to know the Lord Jesus Christ through his ministry. The fruit is there. He goes through a difficult time and weakness; and now people just abandon him. This illustrates a lack of love in the body of Christ. You can see the legalists manifesting.

[@judithstuck9979]

I love your father Dr. Tony Evans, I have learned so much from him. Nothing can change that. We have all sinned, but when you own it and repent God is quick to forgive. He doesn’t love like people do. As far as the East is from the West he removes our transgressions. 🙏

[@Honeybadger7]

Yes, of course God forgives when we repent but the matter here is not about repentance the matter here is about proper Biblical discipline being applied. Is the proper Biblical discipline being applied to leadership. And how would the congregation know if it is if he won't even tell them what it is. It is like he is saying I sinned but I am applying my own punishment just ignore what I have done. It has been my experience that when churches cover up the pastor's sin it is out of fear of losing people. At my church they tried to do the same things finally the truth came out. The sin was that the pastor was having an affair with one of the worship singers for many years. I think a congregation should know what the pastor's sin is because they are investing into the ministry. They have the right to stay and keep supporting or leave if they want to. But to cover it up it takes away that person's right. I understand how one can love and be loyal to a mentor but that doesn't mean you over look what the Bible says about these matters.

[@judithstuck9979]

@@Honeybadger7 I understand what you are saying. However, Dr. Tony Evans didn’t have to step down but he did. That’s a start. He still has a right to privacy what he did is between him and God. That is why we don’t confess our sins to priests. People don’t have to follow him anymore. That is their choice. I understand if he has a problem in certain areas he shouldn’t be in charge of that anymore. Like you wouldn’t put a thief in charge of collecting money until you found out they had been rehabilitated. But everyone in congregation doesn’t have to know what he did. That is just gossip. He is responsible to his church elders. If the congregation trusts them it should be sufficient. And no one should be gossiping about Dr. Tony Evans. He deserves our respect, he has earned that until circumstances prove otherwise and we may never know. That is between him and God.

[@Honeybadger7]

@@judithstuck9979 I think that the congregation is just as important as the church elders. That is not gossip. The congregation ( meaning those who are faithfully investing their time and hard earn money for the service of God) should know. Because unfortunately the elders can get corrupted by profit and cover up things. It is like government. This why many pastors get away with abusing children because the so called elders are more into damage control than Biblical discipline. Stepping down is just normal procedure for damage control. The pastor at my church was only going step down for 3 months until the truth came out.

[@judithstuck9979]

@@Honeybadger7 There is much to consider. I have to ponder this in my heart. Have a good day.

[@faithdiggs6030]

@@Honeybadger7 The Bible says confess your sins (and he has confessed that he sinned) it doesn't say specify what the sin is. Everyone can't handle the truth. He went to the Elders and could've confessed to them. The Bible says go to the Elders. Some people want to know so they can gossip. That's not why God wants us to confess sin, so people can gossip.

Pastor Tony Evans did not characterize it as a "MISTAKE"...a Mistake is "accidental", like when I write out my tithe check to my church and mistakenly put my Utility company as the Payee instead of my church's name. Pastor Tony Evans has characterized it as SIN.....sin is a WILLFUL CHOICE TO GO AGAINST THE KNOWN LAW AND HOLY REQUIREMENTS OF GOD. SIN SEPARATES US FROM GOD...SIN SEPARATES US FROM THE PRESENCE AND POWER OF GOD, UNTIL WE FULLY CONFESS, REPENT IN GODLY SORROW AND FORSAKE THAT SIN. Scripture states, "GODLY SORROW worketh repentance unto salvation." God does not forgive mistakes..mistakes are not sin. God does forgive SIN....so as long as I call my sin a MISTAKE...there will be no forgiveness from God; but as soon as I call my sin.....SIN (REBELLION)....with Godly sorrow, God can now forgive, repair and restore.

Amen. We read the Bible and learn about Noah, Judah, King David, King Solomon, etc. High Priest Jesus Christ was the only Bible character that had no sin. Jesus Christ never fails.

The Bible says we must pray one for another and our prayers must stay consistent for The Saints and sinners. What a beautiful message God gave Minister Jonathan Evans and what a gracious anointed man of God.

[@kristilasher9116]

Jonathan Evans, you are such a blessing. I am so so encouraged by your family. Your dad not only is a man of integrity and did the very hard and right thing but the evidence is in the fruit of his family. The fact that his son is prepared, spiritually discipled and called and is doing the work of the Father in honor of his father is an amazing picture. Your family has been through so much on public display. I think that church is about to triple in size. What a testimony to the world. God bless y’all.

@@MomRivera-ur5jk even then I'll still respect him. He's human, we all make mistakes. The important thing is that he is holding himself accountable and has repented. He is a Man of God. It's not our business why he's stepping down. That's between him and God. I will continue to pray for him as we should do instead of throwing stones. No one ever said he was perfect.

[@rellaturner1596]

No matter what sin he committed, in the eye sight of God, sin is sin, he’s truly a man of God that needs to repent to God not man and continue to do the lords will 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Repentance is so important. The church made it sound like he didn’t repent - he was forced after multiple meetings to resign and he didn’t come forward to repent it was the church that forced him.

I love Dr. Tony Evan’s. He has really helped me grow into the woman of God that I am today. He is a great Teacher and man of God. So full of God’s wisdom. I listen to him on the radio. He is 1 of my favorite Pastors. I think of Abraham and Moses, they fell into sin in their life but that didn’t stop God from using them and it’s not going to stop God from using Dr. Tony Evans either. It will only make him stronger. This is my 1st time hearing a sermon from Johnathan Evans and I love this sermon. I’m really enjoying it. I know Dr. Tony Evans has to be very proud of his son. Praying for Dr. Tony Evans.

I had the pleasure of meeting Doc. Evans at the University of Akron at a time in my life when I felt like giving up. I told him thank you for teaching the Word. He shook my hand and spoke kindly. He was 'very' humble. Emphasis on 'very'. Lol...I'll never forget his kind spirit. You're a chip off the old block. 😂❤❤❤

[@marie6885]

I am so proud of Pastor Tony Evans for admitting and confronting his sin. He who says he has no sin is a liar and the truth is not in him. Jesus will return and we each will stand before Him and give an account. Let us each assess ourselves, admit our sins, repent, and go deeper and higher in the Lord before He returns.

[@amikkelsen]

When did he admit it? The church made it sound like they confronted him and made him resign. If he admitted it on his own and was repentant they should clear his name.

God bless the Church too for standing so strongly with the family. I also join in solidarity with them to strengthen our dear brother.

I've been listening to Pastor Evans since the eighties and I will not stop now. Any discrepancy he feels he need to be redeemed from is between him and God. We should not look down on this wonderful man of God. For we all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. He is still covered in the blood of YESHUA. We as his brothers and sisters in Christ should also be covering him in prayer. This powerful man has integrity and I respect you and Love you, Pastor Evans. May God bless you and keep you. May he make his face to shine down upon you and give you his peace. GOD BLESS PASTOR EVANS!!!!

[@thomas7482]

Dr. Tony Evans, I say to you, keep running with the 🔥. Stay encouraged and keep pressing toward the mark! The enemy knows his time is short & so he's trying to eliminate effective generals. Put a smile on your face, Sir, and say, "Thank you, Father, for giving me a heart to repent and to continue preaching to the Nations." The Holy Spirit truly abides in you. I will never stop listening to what you teach. Thank you for saying yes to the call. You are truly needed for such a time as this.

[@lynngigliotti4258]

Praying for this family. I go to a mega church in South Fl and our pastor was confronted with a sin, where he did not confess. I applaud Dr. Evans for his admission and I pray that he will find forgiveness as we all have. Dr. Evans has been instrumental in my life through bible studies and I've heard his sermons online and in person. I pray the Lord will bring him peace. And for anyone who doesn't know, we are all vunerable and we need to pray more for our leaders because the enemy is after them. It might take a lot to bring them down, but they are not Jesus and they do not always have the ability to stand the test like Jesus did.

[@moniquehamilton5195]

Pastor Evans was forced to admit his unnamed sin. He could have confessed the sin to God, repented and retired. There is no point in admitting you have sinned and not shared it publically. The Elders decided that his punishment would be to confess an UNNAMED sin publically. That is called scripture manipulation.
