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.

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.🙄

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!

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. 🙏❤️

[@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.

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.

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.

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.

Pastor Evans has blessed me over the years how a Godly man should walk and how God's Family should be in these times,God bless you

[@ChriscedaPalmer]

Your pastor can’t bless you Blessings comes from God only,not man.

[@yflores8664]

Hold fast church, God forgives, you can forgive too! Praying for strength for Pastor Tony, his family, and the congregation God brought to him. God is good all the time.

[@mariatu7452]

Like father like son. To God be the glory 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@lindaallen1947]

Jesus Christ the same today, yesterday, and forever!❤

[@KSiobhan]

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.

[@FamilySlavens]

Dr. Tony, is still a pillar of the Faith. His good fruit far outweighs what he has confessed to God.

[@kathrynmoore819]

Thank you for these reminders. This chapter reminds us that the people He uses to share His word to us are indeed people who are not God. We must be still and remember what we already know, and that is that only HE, our heavenly Father, is GOD. Praise God for the reminders of Him and His power sprinkled and spread throughout the Bible.

[@patriciamitchell1924]

Happy Father's day Pastor Evans I'm praying for you and your family ❤

[@janethutcheson3678]

So proud of this young man, a powerful word. His faith is unshaken and his love for his father unstoppable. Praying for Pastor Evans and his family, as they navigate this process through the mercy and grace of God. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. God is the final judge and those who are perfect and never fallen short, need not apply for forgiveness.🙏🏼

[@brendasmith8934]

I will always respect and love my Kingdom brother Pastor Tony Evans

[@FearNOMortals]

Wonderful sermon. Much Respect to Dr. Evans and the messages he bought us all over the years and for putting the Lord in the lives of his children. God bless all of us! 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@MaryChappel-wq6fs]

At 19 Dr Evans made the BIBLE understandable for me and my husband. He is a Great teacher of the WORD OF GOD. Happy Belated Father's day Dr Evans. You also taught me how to Read the Word for myself. But most of all How to PRAY 🙏 😊❤. I'M 59 NOW. Thank you.🙌🙏😊🤴

[@thescatman5029]

I shouldn't judge on first impressions, but first time seeing him, I like Jonathan Evans. Even if pops doesn't return, Oak Cliff looks like it's in good hands! Prayers for everyone at Oak Cliff.

[@marybenoit6375]

Thank you for being there for your father, the devil is defeated. God gave me Psalm 130 and this is what I stand on.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@IkeaJPeart]

We’ve already won!!! Enjoy this much needed and deserved break with God!! I love you Pastor Tony!!! ❤ God Strong!!! 💪🏽 We have your back!!! 👊🏽

[@anthonydingler4720]

This is one of the best preaching teachings I've heard in a while praise God for this brother's obedience

[@SandraRuth-vq2sw]

Am in uganda 🇺🇬 but Dr Evans has contributed a lot to build my spiritual life God has really used him in my life even in others no matter what God is faithful we love u Dr evans

[@VeraJordan-np9yn]

Faithful is our God. Pastor Evans is a man of God. Whatever happened, he took a knee to allow GOD to help him during his healing process. I’m supporting him and pray that he heals and returns to the pulpit soon.

[@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.

[@Jesusiscoming24]

​@@amikkelsen .. let it go

[@queenramotsehoa738]

All the way from Johannesburg. I learnt through a bitter lesson many years ago that Priests do not take on the calling because they are perfect. They take on the role to serve. That opens their weaknesses up for us to see...their weaknesses are AMPLIFIED by publicity. This is a moment of restoration for Dr Evans as it is for me and for all of us....

[@tedditatum819]

Jonathan, I know your mom is proud of you. I am so proud to see you preaching and pointing, directing, admonishing the congregation to lift up all eyes to the hills to heaven ( where our help comes from) Bless you Jonathan!

[@ouranoswealthgroup7042]

I pray that Dr Tony Evans was filled with this sermon cuz I’m not even a Father and I’m empowered by this message!! The One who can speak a word!!!yesssss!! My God! Legggaccccyyyyy!!!! The inheritance is HERE!! Praise God

[@lolalove2903]

Dr.Evans has been such an inspirational part of our lives. God's grace is sufficient. Praying that the peace of God will be with the Evans family. I believe you will pass this test. Thank you Johnathan for such a powerful word.God is faithful!

[@apokalupsis27]

Dad Tony Evans Needs us all Now....one for all and all for one.....I am with him....all the way...what a man of God...from the motherland...Dr Evans we are praying for you and with you....

[@clairebear1808]

After years of studying with Tony Evans over 40 years and constantly talking about him my ex calls and he mentioned he was now listening to Dr.Evans. I said it’s about time.

[@yvettemitchel4976]

Dr Tony Evans is a TRUE, GREAT MAN , a MAN after God's own heart!

[@minniesmith8115]

To the congregation, stay in the boat, just a little shaking going on. God is your refuge. AMEN 🙏🏾. Powerful message.

[@anitabooker8723]

I believe Dr Evans will continue to do God’s work and continue to make a difference in this world!!! Thank you Dr Evans for all you have already done to help me. I look forward to whatever God gives you to share with us now and in the future! 🙏🏾

[@rlhdove]

I love Pastor Evans. I appreciate his son pressing in on his behalf. Great job, son🎉❤!

[@terrytw2953]

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.

[@alohawaves2035]

Thank you for obeying the Lord and being willing to teach this sermon. I surely needed to hear this.

[@sarahconnor4757]

I love Pastor Evans and his family. Lost my husband a few months before he lost his wife. His sermons ministered to me. Lord i pray for pastor Evans.

[@louisesirls3255]

I'm so proud of Pastor Evans,He is truly a man of God, unlike other pastors ,Pastor Evans love his sheep and did not take a chance of crippling His congregation he confess his sin and we are not the judges of his life ❤️ love and prayers

[@amikkelsen]

Oh wow I had no idea he admitted it. The church made it sound like he didn’t admit anything and the church confronted him and made him resign. I hope the church clears this all up.

[@amikkelsen]

[@TruthForLife_M]

I will be praying for Dr. Tony Evans. He didn't have to step down! He has been there for all of us!!

[@pennycox1432]

If pastors do anything immoral they need to step down , repent but not preach again. Just like this other pastor , they have continued to preach knowing what they have done .

[@chanteldarrell360]

Yessssssssssssssssssss! Johnathan!! Excellent Job!!! WE LOVE YOU PASTOR TONY EVANS ❤️ 🙌 ❤❤🙏🙏🙏❤️ PREACH THE WORD!!!!!!

[@chosenempressgoddess]

Correct this is my 1st time seeing this and this man is preaching correct 🎉yes it I give my Father the ĝlory honor and praises for the correct teaching being told much love❤

[@TamekaRolle-di4qh]

From a child riding home from primary school up to an adult, I listened to Dr. Evans. We would’ve never known what he did if he never said it. I respect you Dr. Evans. I pray complete and total healing in Jesus Name. Many need to do the same and get healed because no man knows the day nor the hour‼️

[@deborahjohnson9270]

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.

[@pastormaureenmpieri9533]

What a man of integrity to acknowledge and confess wrongdoing, take time off from the pulpit to seek the Lord for restoration!!!! Wow!!!i didn't know that such honest servants of God still exist in this time!!! Look at his son ministring with anointing, knowledge and wisdom and such composure, just like him. God bless the Church too for standing so strongly with the family. I also join in solidarity with them to strengthen our dear brother. All our hands joined together will become so strong to lift him up again soonest by God's grace, and when he returns this time, the devil is in real trouble!!!!! The glory of the later... you all help me complete that sentence...❤❤❤❤❤

[@kennethstavis9953]

Bro. Jonathan Evans - wonderful job - great teaching. Never heard you before today. My wife turned it on today and we were watching. Praying for your dad and waiting for his return to the pulpit. Much love to you and your families.

[@elisaekstrom-mcknight4009]

Man this sermon is AWESOME making things crystal clear talking about the hail storm and garage AWESOME illustration!!!!

[@thelmacaballero-powell6373]

May God continue to bless HIS church and all members. Christ died for all humanity, died for our sins including Pastor’s sins. May Pastor Evans and his family stay with the Lord always.🙏🙏🙏

[@hattiehooper3508]

I’m grateful that we all have access to the Grace and Mercy of God. Thanks Dr Tony Evans for being a human that allows God to show off His amazing Grace through you for more than 48 years.

[@tayclemons3401]

Pastor Evans has definitely been a blessing in my life!!! Great job Jonathan!! ❤

[@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.

[@HopeStevens-d9l]

My family loves Tony. Prayers for all of you. God is good.

[@gwendolynstrawder9598]

[@marshanewell1651]

I love the Evans family. I’m thankful for Pastor Tony. His conscience is alive and he will be restored in Jesus name. ❤

[@leesam1951]

Nobody is perfect. We will fail as long as we are in these bodies. God bless Tony Evans

[@LivingMyBestAlways]

I’m not condemning Pastor Evans at all, You said we will fail and if this is true then no one is going to be in the kingdom. When the lady was caught in adultery Jesus said I will not condemn you but go and sin no more. So should we continue to sin because of grace God forbid. It’s not my words but scripture. So in order words according to scripture we should stop sinning. And it’s quite possible to stop sinning if Jesus said then it’s possible. So stop saying we will always fail . If that’s true then why did Jesus came ?
