The pews are saying that they got something on the good pastor. I wonder what it could be? It must be horrible that this man just up and quit after over 40 years. Pray for this man because he's gonna need it, I suspect. Thank God, the dearly departed Lois isn't here for what's to come with him because they are going to let us know what he did. So stay tuned!!! Oh and remember to like and subscribe if you haven't already. Thanks and Take heart and care. ❤
Sis. I want to say be careful abou the things you post about Pastors.. God's servants. You don't want to bring a curse on yourself or your family. Just because you may not understand or know what God says about judging His sservants doesn't exempt you from penalties that come with talking against His servants.
I know you want to keep people "in the know" about things but I would NOT talk about things like this...
Humbly submitted to you.❤
@@deborahjackson4537clearly you don’t know what it says. It says we are to judge and confront other believers. We do t judge unbelievers. You should read the word.
@@deborahjackson4537 Well if you consider these charlatans God’s ‘servants’, ...🤔
He’s going to continue to expose them, as He should, before He takes His _Faithful_ Bride home. ♥🎺🙌
God is good...All the time. 💜🙌
@@tinadehart3526 Amen.
Sin is sin. Putting your mouth on this man's decision is sin.
I think he’s a great pastor not a sinless man . His teaching has helped me in my life and I will continue to listen to him. I follow Jesus and expect men to fail . Praying for you Dr Evans .🙏
This is how I feel. The difference in this man and me is that I am not famous. My sin will not be public. We all need Jesus. I believe He is condemning himself instead of confessing his sin to God and allowing God to wash Him clean. Stepping down to allow other men who are also not without sin to lead doesn't make sense.
He has confessed to leadership and his family - his inner circle who will continue to pray for and with him. One has to be careful to whom they confess their sins. The goal is to be restored and not everyone is equipped to gently restore someone who has fallen. I don't think the congregation is entitled to any detailed explanation of his sin because he is no longer leading. When you know the specific sin, does that make you pray more for him? We live in a cruel, demonic world where he (and potentially all Christians) will inevitably become the subject of relentless ridicule because of his actions. Will that be good for repentance and healing? I believe in due time, when he is healed, he will be prompted by the Holy Spirit to share if this process will be beneficial to others. We all have sinned and fallen short. How often do you confess your sins to your brothers and sisters in Christ? Just imagine if everyone knows your sin and makes fun of you before you are truly ready to be transparent. Trust God and extend grace.
This. People just truly want to be nosy. Half of the people who want to know, really worked under Tony Evans leadership. He doesn't owe the entire world a confession to them
Exactly. I agreed
Totally agree, trust God and extend Grace! ❤
He's not obligated to explain his personal business to the general public. All they will do is talk a bunch of it and that benefits no one. He told who he needed to tell. His business isn't everybody's businesse.
Not detailed however his congregation is owed some point of context. Also why leave it up to wide speculation? It's a cop out.
I'm glad you made this video, I can recall when I was homeless and faced with many things in Life until $75,000 biweekly began rolling in and my Life went from A homeless nobody to a different person with good things to offer!!!!!!❤️❤️
I believe when God blessess it exceeds beyond my expectation. I know my Father in heaven is a generous father who provides the needs of his children🥰
I'm 37 and have been looking for ways to be successful, please how??
After enduring many struggles, I am now filled with gratitude for owning a new home. My family is happy, and everything is finally falling into place.
I have been searching for ways to achieve success. Can you please guide me on how to do so?
Sure, the investment-advisor that guides me is..
Men want grace and mercy but dont give it. Im not on it. I forgive as God does and instructs me to do. Dr. Evans be restored!
Forgiving does not equate to putting that person in a leadership position. We can and should remain in forgiveness even when someone is in unrepentant sin, it does not mean we fellowship with them while they are in that state. This is how the Bible teaches us to handle other believers. When they do repent we restore them to fellowship, not leaders.
In fact many people put into leadership positions were never qualified to be in that position in the first place. Timothy and Titus tell us what qualifications to look for in leaders and how to handle fallen leaders. It also says people should be tested before they are put into deacon service. And it is supposed to be service, not lording over as the world does.
Amen
We need to pray for one another as the Bible states. Let's not become like the world with speculations and gossip. Remember, the world is looking at what we as Christians say and do. WE all sin every day.
“Like the Bible states”, should the FIRST person you cast that passage at, be Tony Evan’s?! Also, THE ONLY REASON there’s “speculation”, is because he gave a half-hearted “confession”, that didn’t disclose the “SIN”. It’s pretty obvious, that he didn’t commit gluttony, or was simply unkind! “We all sin everyday.”🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You think “the world” doesn’t see that! Also, that’s the main reason why you shouldn’t “preaching” to anyone else. Get your own life straight! Live like you actually believe, what you say you believe.
I Thank GOD For Pastor Tony Evan In Jesus Name. May God Te The Holy Spirit Lead Into All Truths. I Cannot Judge. Only Love In Jesus Name.
U don't have to openly confess to a bunch of nosey, gossiping people. When you go to the alter as a sinner or backslider or non believer. Your not asked to openly tell the congregation every mistake you've ever made. He confessed his sins to his wife, family, and the elders of the church and that's enough. Admitting and stepping down is a lot. Telling the entire world will jus make a bunch of memes, gossiping, "I told you so's", "all pastors are fake" talking
But he can tell the world that he committed an "old sin" and that should suffice when he does not allow that for members of HIS CHURCH?! Matthew 23:27-28 is clear about how God sees men like him and you. Go read it!
Agree, for us regular fallen folks.
However, God holds those in authority over others to higher standards...& stiffer sentences...
He has a _world wide_ following. That pumped in hundred$ of million$ to his ‘mini$try’.
Sorry, He doesn’t get to slide under the table w/this.
If he thinks God is going to let him, you just wait & see....
God doesn’t play games. And all these ‘preachers’ being taken down, shows that.
He _will_ follow through. Even if they try not to.
TD is another one. And Creflo. Murdock, Hinn, Copeland, Jesse, Joel...Too many to mention...
Scamming _millions_ over decade$!!!
🔥 *_God will NOT be mocked!!!!_* 🔥
I would have like to known what was.
@@kosbee96does it really matter. Sin is a sin. What would it benefit you or those that want to know. Nothing
@@kosbee96 It will come out.
Don’t know why he thinks it won’t. More lying to himself....
The speculation before it does, could be worse, however.
His confession is not for the entire world. He has a board and we must respect what he has done and lift his up in prayers. We ought not be quick to judge. He was gracious enough to let us know he made an unrighteous decision. We do not need details. Let his board of directors handle it. ❤❤
Thanks for sharing and watching
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Does he only preach to “his board”? Has his 10 million dollar net worth come from “his board”? “He was gracious enough….” PLEASE, He’s just trying to do damage control! Also, NO ONE has to respect a hypocrite! He sat on this “sun”, for a number of years”, while continuing to preach, and act as if he was abiding by his own teachings! The board is more concerned with damage control as well.
@@donnaanderson2846 I have to agree.
No one KNOWS ONLY GOD. Foolishness about some damage control. He came across humbly respect that . However, like many. He had his haters also. Admired man, surely still in 3:28 grief even tho he's married again. Grief is real. Why not 🙏 for him ? Maybe ready to retire.
Where does the Bible say a preacher has to step down for an “old sin” if he confessed and was forgiven long ago?
James 5:16. Confess your faults one to another that you may be healed. Confess our sins to God. 1 John 1:9. . If we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us from all unrighteousness
Thanks for sharing
Confess to one or two. Jesus knew his friends sins...he did not make public issues out of them. You need to confess to the people you wrong for sure.
Confess your sins means to say the same things about our sins as God does: that it is sin, and that our sins have been forgiven and washed away by the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, It doesn't mean that you have to tell everyone the sin that you committed. If that was the case many, many of us have failed at confessing our sins.
I feel our first response is to pray for people especially Pastors. Not wondering what they did. For those who have accepted Christ as their personal savior… we are all sinners saved by grace. Let us give each other grace. The truth be told, we are all flawed, and we mess up daily. We have to repent to Christ daily. Let’s continue to pray for each other. God will do the rest
Anyone who has listened to Dr Evans ministry knows that he has blessed our souls and is an avid studier of the word of God. He who is without sin... you know the rest!
I hold the utmost respect for Pastor Tony Evans. When my mom died, I found a year-old video from his church. When his niece's past. Having just lost my mom and not understanding how quickly she passed away. I watched that video and his kids were asking why Dad and how can you be so strong. In a time of sorrow. But Pastor Evans answered. I trust the Lord and his word. That video made my life and pain easier to cope. So God bless him for doing what is right. Stepping away temporarily. As it should be done. If something in his heart is convicting him to do so. Then he is honoring God. Now in saying that. Be careful what you say about a God-ordained Pastor. Understand, the host of this channel. Pastor Evans in over 40 years has not led anyone astray. You speaking ill will of him and gossiping. Can seriously come back to haunt you. Ask the Lord to forgive you, for the backhanded statement you made. You've been put on notice. 💯
Let's us pray for him without putting this man down anyone without sin throw the first stone.
😢
Did he cheat on his first wife when she was sick? If it’s an old sin why didn’t he repent back then, why is it bothering him now? Unless someone has something on him and he’s stepping down ahead of it all.
Guilt is something heavy. 🪨
I think someone has dirt on him and has made it known OR is threatening to talk/expose.
I love Tony Evans. He that is without sin cast the first stone.
Nothing like taking a part of a scripture out of context.
@@tinadehart3526 expand on it evangelist
@@tinadehart3526 explain?
The fact that he’s made his living off of preaching against “sun” puts him in an entirely different category than the rest of us! How many of us have a net worth of $10 million, from preaching! Y’all need to stop excusing these preachers/pastors/leaders when they make wrong choices. Also, he isn’t actually “confessing” ANYTHING! How could he continue to preach, week, after week, when he knew he’d violated the very things he preached against?! “A number of years ago” That means, multiple times of 52 WEEKS, for each of those years! Standing in the pulpit, and being a hypocrite!
@@donnaanderson2846 is he not a human being capable of mistakes?
Getting ahead of being exposed
Exactly. Protecting the church.
That’s my fear.
@@DeeWatsMore like protecting his income.
@@DeeWatswow
Perhaps, in all this, the LORD wants believers to be reminded that, at the end of the day, we are not to put our trust in anything or anyone but Jesus, and that includes pastors. We must keep our eyes on Jesus who is the AUTHOR and FINISHER of our faith! May the LORD show Tony Evans the same grace that he shows each and every one of us everyday. 🙏🏿🎚
Isn't it quite funny how people want to find out what happened ....What if god exposes them for what they have done or what their thoughts are.....God is full of mercy and grace so just pray for him instead of digging for dirt before your dirt surfaces.
People can and will judge Dr Tony Evans. He is a solid man of God and human like us all. Let's stop speculating about what he did or did not do. We have all sinned and fallen short of God's Glory.
I am always blessed and challenged by his messages which he too practices.
Sitting with his congregation at this time just shows how humble Dr Evans is. I continue to pray for Dr Evans and his wife Carla that God will continue to strengthen them for this Christian journey.
I smell black mail. Celeste prophesied that more pastors would be exposed, and it's happening.
Me too.
You are so right
You can't blackmail somebody who outs himself. Somebody is mad he married another girl
Who is Celeste?
I believe the same. Someone else wants to be "Assistant Pastor" or "Pastor " for that matter. Something similar happened near our town. Blackmail smells loudly. According to the letter, he's met with the elders more than once. It's funny how this came out after the new marriage. Let's pray for him. Let's remember all through the Bible, God used many who had issues, lied, murdered, etc, yet they truly repented and their hearts were after God! @lttarver6228
Thank you for these points, they are excellent. Also, here is my problem. If he committed a sin years ago, why didn't he step down then?
B/C he wasn’t being hounded about it, to be exposed back then.
This is early damage control.
And it _will_ come out.
This is what I say. Those who say wanting a confession of what he did is being nosy and gossiping don’t understand how much keeping our sins secret affect everyone. He’s a pastor to everyone and that’s why.
I'm reminded of Bible School training. Dr. Gray - Dean - instilled thru his teaching, that when preachers get too busy to maintain their daily prayer life, they fail to abide in the vine and then fail. If we don't draw from the power of Jesus Christ daily, then we would fail miserably. Preachers must not over expand their ministerial duties. Consistent daily prayer is the key.
Everyone falls short of His Glory!!!! Everyone battles something.. God bless him and his family! When there is truth, there is grace and mercy!
Tony Evans and his entire family has blessed my soul. I believe that God has anointed him and NO DEVIL IN HELL can take that away from Dr Evans. We all sin and have fallen short. He is a man like all of us. So he is not exemp from temptation. We as a people should just continue to pray for one another.
People often asked why doesn't a Pastor get specific or be transparent when they happen to sin or have a mishap in judgment, and the short answer is there are too many immature Christians who would have the pastor's best interest at heart. One has to be wise when one shares his life with others, especially pastors. Not everyone can handle the sin of a pastor, and so that pastor must exercise a great deal of wisdom and maturity when he shares what he is going through, and so with that in mind, my friend since 1988, Dr. Tony has exercised a great deal of wisdom in this very personal situation. Be assured that his family and the board of Elders of OCBF are all aware of the specifics of this story. The rest of us need to be praying, as Dr. Tony is and has always been an honorable and godly man, though obviously not a perfect and sinless man.
It doesn’t matter, we all fall short of the grace of GOD, there’s no perfect being on this earth, cast not stones!!!! To GOD be the Glory 💯🙏🏾
Maybe he did confess to someone. Confessing to everyone can make things worse.
As long as he repents before God and is ready to be restored, that is all that matters for now.
💯💯💯. Because some, Won't forgive. BUT GOD WILL!!! AND GOD IS THE ULTIMATE JUDGE!!! All I will do is PRAY 🙏.
This man has helped me with my screwd up life. His analogies and comparisons help me to understand God and to improve my relationship with God. Everyone, I mean everyone falls short and ains and makes terrible mistakes!
I don't know what he did back in the day or what he's doing now! I believe he is a treasure from God, and I need him to continue my understanding of the Gospel!! I know he's bothered by his problem, and it will be worked out. But if he is reading this, just know you're a Godsend to millions. Don't give up on yourself or us!
Bless you, Tony Evans
Oh my God this is so disappointing to hear this. I admire and study and listen to him for years . God give me strength 🙏🏾
It really is disappointing.
@DeeWatts Why is it disappointing? I listen to Dr. Tony Evans @ 5:30am during the week. It's not our job to Judge or figure out what his sin is..... GOD IS THE ONLY JUDGE....I will continue to listen to his Sermon, There Is NO PERFECT PERSON!!
You'll be aight he's just a man...he succumbed to temptation like we all do...but to much is given ..much is required...so I understand you feelings ...he has disappointed me too.
His sins do not rule him out as a sound expositor of the word of God. We shall pray for him and remember how the LORD has used him in the past. The Bible is full of examples of godly men who fell into temptation, yet the LORD uses their lives to teach us his biblical principles. Look at David, Paul, Samson and Jacob.
Just pray for him and continue putting your faith in Jesus!
No one is without sin. Those in positions of influence are held to a higher standard but still are human. He has served well. God's forgiveness is for All.
Thanks for the engagement
He is a mans first! The Bible also states a just man falleth seven times but he yet rises. There is only ONE perfect person. That is CHRIST. No, he doesn't owe anyone an explanation.
Y'all don't get tired of defending these men? They constantly display UNCHRISTIAN behavior and here y'all are to the rescue. Sad
@@DeeWats King David....nuf said?
@@shanenoel1270 Bad example! What King David did was very much publicized and God sent the prophet Nathan to him to foretell of God's judgment (2 Samuel 12:1-18). Furthermore, some of David's Psalms acknowledge his sin and need for cleansing. For starters, read Psalm 51 in the King James version of the Bible. On top of that, God's Word clearly spells out HIS requirements for various church leaders. If God requires an elder to be OPENLY REBUKED BEFORE ALL (so others may also FEAR) if he is guilty of an accusation (1 Timothy 5:19-20 in the KJV), the same would definitely apply to a pastor.
None of us are sinless. God will judge us all. As a black man, the evidence of a healthy and whole family is enough for me. THAT cannot be faked. Daily intimacy with Jesus is anyones only hope IMHO.
People are so worried about what he did….pray for him. It’s none of our business. He hade enough courage to sit his self down for a season. Most pastors world not have even done that. Love keeps no record of wrong. Whatever the sin is, in Gods eyes sin is sin and he weighs the heart! Pray for him
Confess your sins one to “Another!” NOT one to “EVERYBODY!”🎤
He is still a broken, imperfect human like the rest of us. At least he gave in to his conviction many and I mean many don’t.
Him acknowledging that there’s sin should be enough. Him voluntarily stepping down speaks volumes to his character and his reverence for God. People wanting to know what the sin is need to check their motives for wanting to know. If he’s shared those things with someone or someone’s in leadership that can help him find total repentance and healing through this is all that’s needed! If people are wanting to know as to use it as a source of gossip then they need to check themselves! That’s sin!
Not many are willing to give up leadership even if it’s exposed by others. It takes a true man of God to feel they can’t lead God’s people unless they’re walking in the light! We all need to check ourselves and drop the stones!
Scripture does say confess our sins one to another. It does not say our sins have to be confessed to the entire congregation or to the world at large. He has done his confession within the inner circle, more than likely the Elders, and to his family. This is one of the reasons those outside the Christian faith criticize us: because we do not forgive and restore our own. He has followed scripture and is stepping down from leadership to be restored and led. He is not deceptive because he did not cover up that there is a sin in his life that he believes prohibits him from leading and just retire without explanation or lying about why. I pray for him as he bravely lives this decision.
He doesn’t have to confess it to the entire world. He told his congregation the specifics !
he did not actually
He did???
He didn't but he must tell them
You have to use discernment when you’re confessing your sins. You can’t confess to everybody because they just wanna know your business and they’ll slander you all over the place. We have to remember, we ALL fall short of the glory of God.
we all have a strict account to give to God.
Even if he doesn’t confess it these things have a way of coming out anyway.
You’re 💯correct.
Head shaking if he & the elders actually believe this will just go away w/o much more speculation, than if he just fessed up...as is Biblical. And the gossip will be worse than the reality...Hopefully. ;)
16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.- James 5:16 KJV. This Scripture does not say to confess your sins to everyone. Not everyone is mature enough to handle matters of the soul and heart. That’s the job of the Holy Spirit. Pastor Tony Evans has humbled himself. No one has the right to pass judgment for we all will appear before the JUDGE of all judges. We can’t throw away 40 years of Scriptural teaching. Whether he practiced what he preached, he will answer to God here on Earth and on judgment day. We all will. Because he is a high profile minister doesn’t mean we get to bash him. We are called to restore one another the way Jesus showed mercy, restored and reinstated His own disciple, Apostle Peter. God bless.
I agree confessing sin is to say the same things about our sins as God does: that it is sin, and that our sins have been forgiven and washed away by the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ
The Bible doesn’t say that we have to publicly confess to everybody in the world. He may have confessed to the elders of his church. I think people are just looking for some gossip
Go and read James 5:16. It says nothing about ELDERS.
@@DeeWats You are right that it does not mention elders, but it also doesn't instruct us to confess our sins to the entire world. My understanding is that he confessed to his wife, his family and the elders of the church. That qualifies as "confess(ing) your sins to one another."
@@DeeWatsJames 5:16 it says, confess your sins to one another so that you may be healed. Church congregation, Elders is meant to one another
Hmm, lets see🤫, adultery, a child (or more), men, drugs AND men. .. he really didn't confess anything to the masses.
He didn't. He just said what they told him to allegedly.
@@DeeWats If what he says in his letter to the congregation is true (and I assume it has been vetted by the leadership of the church), his sin does not involve either a child or drugs, either of which would be criminal.
@@annekrug2989 , how would having a child constitute a “crime”?
God hasn’t missed a thing...
@@annekrug2989 "Criminal" according to whose laws...the laws of GOD or the laws of man?! Because he said it wasn't criminal does not mean that he did not violate God's laws.
We are all human, and humanly speaking, we don't know how the devil is going to attack us. So let's not cast the first stone. Don't do Jesus Christ job.
Thanks for sharing
Praying for Tony Evans and all SINNERS
He can confess to God and his trusted brothers and sister not necessarily to the masses and certainly not to the world. May he find restoration in his relationship with God in Jesus mighty name 🙏🏽
He who has not “sin” throw the first stone ‼️
We all fall short that's why we always need God to keep us from falling.Stay in His presence daily. It's between him and God. I think when we become leaders, we feel we owe people an explanation. ESPECIALLY if it was long ago. However, I owe God that and repent also allow God to give me a pure heart. Thank God for Grace and Mercy. If it was long ago I would leave it there the enemy will dig up your pass but God clean us up Like new and when we are genuine want to know him and ask for forgiveness and believe he rosed and died for us. Our lives are forever changed. The testimonies of the Saints will help edify others when they go through. AMEN. PRAYERS to him 🙏🏽
Dont blame his wife illness. People get sick. He will too. You will and i too. Call on God. Trust God.
No one is blaming this man's second wife whose husband also died the same year his 1st wife passed. Calm down, Nellie.
@DeeWats u putting alot of info in your response
Luke 12:2
“For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.”
Period!
Galatians 6:1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
It is not for us to want to know what the sin was. It is for us to lovingly pray for and uphold this man of God as he goes through this time. We as the body of Christ have to let go of all of the gossiping and heresy that many will do. We must fall to our knees and pray for this man of God and ask God to forgive him. I honestly don't need to know what he did. I have enough to do daily to keep myself from falling away from God in these trying times that we live in. So I pray that the body of Christ will see this as a sign that we need to pray more and point the finger less. Because there goes I (or any of us) if it wasn't for the grace of God.
Wow you are accusing him of being homosexual? Shameful why start making up things about Tony Evans he is a good man with faults like the rest of us. And he doesn’t have to confess his sins before the whole world 🌎
No one is accusing this man that you all worship. Take up your cross and follow Jesus, not some man who doesn't practice what he tells y'all.
My argument exactly. Stop making up stories. The Word shouldn't be used as a weapon to create guilt but help one to see the right path to take. We're just being nosey. Create your content by not misusing the Word. The reason what sin he committed is not an issue. The issue is he confessed, stepped down and continues loving God.
She’s making up stories
May God bless Dr. Evans
The scriptures your sins to one another, it does not say confess to world so they can have more to gossip about. I respect and honor Dr Evans for confession and the willingness to step down for repentance, healing and recovery. No man is sinless. He has followed the guide lines when a person sins. It is usually people who want to tear down the Bible and godly living as to trying to support help. Blessing
He has already confessed his sins openly to his elders...it is now his time to let the Lord heal him. The rest of us don't need him to "openly" confess his sin... people are just wanting to gossip...which is also a sin.
He confessed to the ones that he needed to confess to. Openly confess does not mean the whole world has to know all the details. People are just being nosy in wanting to know all the details.
Praying for his time of restoration to be fruitful. We don’t need details. Even Catholics get to confess in an atmosphere of reverence and secrecy. He is a leader stepping down. Maybe after his wife’s passing that should have happened sooner. God bless him and his congregation.
With all due respect, I think we tend to think of pasters as perfect individuals and no paster is without sin; we all have sinned and fallen short of the of the grace of God. He has confessed his sins to his family and the Church Elders.
I will comment when i have heard the whole truth. For now we will continue to pray for all the ministers of the gospel.
God loves him as much as anyone..I know God is a forgiving God and full of love for ALL of his children..Is not up to us to say..There's only 1 sin that God will not forgive..I love you Tong.
God bless him for being able to examine self and call self to account ,accept mistakes and repent.
Most of us fall short of this.
He preached in Brooklyn Tabernacle church recently. I wonder what Jim Cymbala is saying now.
Nothing!!! Because we all sin daily!
St. Patrick did something that caused the Catholic Church (the only church of that time) to refuse to pay for his trip back to Ireland. So, he worked MANY years to afford to go back as a missionary. No one knows what he did and it was while he was very young. But, a huge revival did break out and we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day because of what God did. I’m glad he stepped down. I don’t know if he should disclose. But, it may be necessary if he wants to go back into leadership.
Who cares what the sin might be. If we confess our sins God is faithful and just to forgive us.
The Bible does not say you have to confess your sins to everyone per se. Rather it is for the benefit of the one who committed the sin so that the person can be healed and get over it and not hold it in.
He has been a great inspiration and solid teacher. Thank God for the cross!!! Praying for our dear brother Evans. But for the grace of God, there go I!
Praying
Amen.....
And minding my business . Keeping MY SOUL right before GOD!!!
But seriously, James 5:16 doesn't mean you have to broadcast the specific sin out to the general public! When have you broadcast your sins out to a hostile world? When have you even done that here in this space?
It should be assumed that we should confess it to those we trust within the body of Christ and who we are assured do love and care for us sincerely and will help us be restored! No one else needs to know! It seems very commendable that he is taking this step of humility at all.
He openly confessed it to the leading elders of the church. And to his closest advisors. Not every admitted sin needs to be aired publicly. There is ' public sin' and ' private sin '" The first would DEFFINANTLY need to be confessed PUBLICALLY. The second; to a close group of trusted advisors and friends who can help you. It' s none of my business what Tony's ' private and personal ' sin was . I do not want to know. Why? Because I am not better. I TOO have my personal struggles and wish NOT to have every one of them aired publicly. He is seeking advice and help. And I commend him for that, as well as his honesty to those advisors and friends. Leave him alone.
Someone asks why didn't he step down years ago my answer to that is the same reason David didn't step down after his sins with Uriah and Bathsheba.We all need to be reminded, God is greater than all our sins and that Jesus Christ died for all our sins past, present and further. God will restore Dr.Evans.
Without specifically confessing sin, it leaves the door open for speculation and gossip, which damages the people in his congregation more than open confession. Unfortunately, undiscerning sheeple will continue to allow false teachers like Evans to go through a so called “healing and restoration” process. This is how they keep themselves from being permanently removed from the ministry as they should be. He no longer meets the biblical requirements of pastoral ministry as clearly outlined in 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1. He obviously is not above reproach and no longer has a good reputation for those in his community.
Is there a baby Evans
Man speaks of their desire to personally know of someone else’s sin, but GOD/JESUS doesn’t say we are to confess our sins to MAN, but to HIM, man can’t do anything about man’s sin ONLY GOD /JESUS CAN…This pastor is doing the RIGHTEOUS thing, but man desires to ACCUSE him of being unrighteous, man can’t be pleased, Tony Evans is a GOD Pleaser, and NO he’s NOT perfect and neither are ANY of US, Amen! Love You Tony Evans, GOD BLESS YOU…♥️🥰✝️🙏🙌
I like Tony Evans Ministry.... At least he uses good hommon sense... None of us are perfection... We are pressing toward the mark of Perfection..... He teaches the word of God honestly...
He confessed his sin to the Elders of the church. The Bible does not require him to confess his sin to a sin sick unholy "World." He's been forgiven. He's healing, and that's all that's required.
Confess your faults to who? How do we know he hasn’t to his leadership and family? And what will we do with the info? Gossip and judge or do what the Bible tells us to do when one falls
Thanks...for the information, and for the reminder of a scriptural approach to sin. However, I do wonder if it would've been more helpful and non-traditional to leave out the "rumors" about Tony Evans.
Sad situation, but repeating the rumors just exacerbate the issue. Thanks again for taking the time to create the video for your viewers.
Thank you for watching. He exacerbated the issue by doing whatever it was that he did. Something he knew was wrong. He's no victim, and he needs to be held accountable just like he would do to you or I.
@@DeeWats , yes, and the fact that he hid his wrongdoings “for a number of years”, suggests a great lack of humility, and remorse. If it turns out that he’s making this pseudo confession, because someone is pressuring him, it’s safe to assume that he’s ONLY doing damage control!
Pastor Evans does not owe his confession to any person or entity that wants to hear it for the intent of using it for evil (ie. to wrongly judge a christian person, gossip, obtain ratings, etc..). Pastor Evans confessed to God & the church Elders....he does not owe a confession to the world such as person(s) who clearly want to profit in some way at the expense of Tony's pain. May God help those with such evil intent. While you may not want to believe it, God your creator WILL have the final judgement on you for such wickedness.
I'm thinking his outside baby has threatened to go public.
Could be on a Diddy vid, too.
He & TD are on thin exposure ice w/those _FreakOff_ parties... ;)
Why not just retire and not make a public announcement? It's really between him and his inner circle. I don't think that the church was ever meant to be a world wide congregation. He needs to confess his sin to his immediate support group. It is no one else's business.
The Bible says to confess openly to the congregation. BUT NOT the world. What does the issues in a Christians life have to do with the world?
He doesn't have to confess all the sordid details to thousands of people. If he confessed completely to his family and the elders and repented to God then a general confession is fine to me.

Reminder to all of those who are Truly believers of the Lord Jesus Christ, we set ourselves up for disappointment when WE choose to worship the Man of God and honoring the Gift of the man that comes from Jesus Christ. Ephesians 4:11.
If you are truly and sincerely praying, your mind will cease from wondering and your mouth will cease from speculating. Think about it!
Tony Youre an awesome preacher..Youve blessed my heart so much.❤
ONE to another. Everyone wants details. It is between him and God..I believe if he chooses one to confess, maybe the person he harmed the most, he has fulfilled scripture. True repentance is not ours to judge.
Oh yes, people just love to pick apart other people's lives,as if they're sinless themselves.anyone who is without sin,let him cast the first stone.Tony Evan's ministry has taught me A LOT!
What they are calling Trans Dispensationalism is called Inclusivism. It is very common among Apologists. But I do not think that that led to him falling in sin.
My take on all of this is after all this time. I believe if you have already talk to the Lord (who is the author and finisher of ALL our Faith); Now a Pastor who leads a flock should be held to a higher standard. But if you have made a mistake you confess it to the Lord and to your family and leave it there as we are all imperfect people. But I guess the good Pastor wants to free his heart. And that is a good thing too. And then again some things are better left in the past. But only God knows all things and he does all things well.
No, no, no!!! The Bible does not say he must confess to the world!!! He has confessed to the elders of the church. As long as the elders know and they have dealt with it and he is using this time for restoration then what we need to do is pray. Pray that God will restore him and forgive him! Why in the world would you want him to be dragged by the world? Would you? No you wouldn’t! Leave him alone and pray for him!!!!
Wrong - nothing in the Bible says to confess sins openly. It says in James 5:16 - 'Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed.' We are to confess our sin(s) to the individual(s) we have sinned against because they are the ones who have the right to forgive us. We also confess to our God whom we know have forgiven us of our past, present and future sins (because Jesus had died for us 'once and for all').
Perhaps it was infidelity,due to his wife's long bout with cancer.
We are all human...and sinners But God, forgives, restores and perfects the man with humility and grace.🙏

The Bible does not say that we must confess our sins openly. That is false. So please fix that. It say confess your 0:30 sin but not openly. Paul never confessed what his thorn in his flesh was. All people want to do is classify, label and compare. He sinned, just like all of us. His left of faith pushed him to step down. Truth is, all pastors need to step down because we all have sinned. Please!!!!
This why so many people dont want to attend church or God, most of these people going on like they perfect. Thank God for Jesus and what he has done for us. Can you imagine how many people will be locked out on that great morning when he returns? What a roll call!! How will you answer???
All have fallen short of the glory of God. It's important for people to understand that pastors are also susceptible to temptation, sin, and the attacks of the devil. He is a good man of GOD we all have sinned… also the word says there’s no condemnation in Christ so may the Lord forgive him and bless him in the name of Jesus Christ.
"Confess your sins one to another", yes. That applies to the church, the body of believers that it applies to. It does not say, "Have a hundred thousand people that have no idea of the situation weigh in on what they think."
He already confessed to those head needed to. It is our job as fellow believers to lift Dr Evan’s and family in prayer. Remember gossiping is a sin. So what lift him up in prayer. Imagine if JP miller had taken steps to repent his wife Mica might still be with us.
Judgment day is coming and I pray that the creator of this video is ready to answer some questions
Worry bout your own soul Miss Righteous. Calling yourself Christians and be the worst people on the planet.
