JONATHAN EVANS SAID IT WAS A “GUT PUNCH” WHEN HIS DAD, DR. TONY EVANS, SAID HE HAD TO STEP BACK FROM MINISTRY BECAUSE OF SIN. JONATHAN RIGHTLY SAYS FROM THE WORD OF GOD THAT “GOD IS OUR REFUGE AND STRENGTH IN TROUBLE, TRIALS AND TRANSITIONS” — NOT MONEY, NOT EDUCATION, AND NOT ACCOMPLISHMENTS — GOD, AND GOD ALONE!

DANIEL WHYTE III, PRESIDENT OF GOSPEL LIGHT SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL, SAYS IT IS GOOD TO HEAR FROM JONATHAN. HE IS A GOOD SON TO HIS FATHER, ESPECIALLY IF HE IS DOING THIS ON HIS OWN FROM HIS HEART, AND THIS IS NOT THE WORK OF PUBLICITY PROFESSIONALS, OR GOD FORBID, HIS FATHER. THAT WOULD NOT BE KOSHER. SUFFICE IT TO SAY, DR. TONY EVANS AND HIS WIFE, LOIS EVANS, WHO DID NOT KNOW DANIEL WHYTE III, HAVE NEVER MET WHYTE OR ANYONE IN WHYTE’S FAMILY, LOVINGLY DID SOMETHING TO SUPPORT WHYTE’S MINISTRY AND FAMILY THAT HAS PROBABLY NEVER BEEN DONE IN THE HISTORY OF MINISTRY. THEY HAD THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO COME TO WHYTE’S MINISTRY OVER A PERIOD OF ALMOST 20 YEARS, BUT THEY DID IT IN SUCH A WAY TO TRY TO CONCEAL WHO WAS CAUSING THE MONEY TO COME TO WHYTE’S MINISTRY. IN OTHER WORDS, DR. TONY EVANS AND HIS WIFE, LOIS EVANS, TRULY PRACTICED THE BIBLICAL PRINCIPLE OF NOT LETTING THE LEFT HAND KNOW WHAT THE RIGHT HAND WAS DOING — ALL IN A GOOD WAY FOR THE GLORY OF GOD — UNTIL GOD REVEALED TO WHYTE WHO WAS REALLY BEHIND THE MONEY COMING IN. SO THEREFORE, WHATEVER DANIEL WHYTE III SAYS ABOUT THIS MATTER COMES FROM A PLACE OF LOVE AND RESPECT FOR DR. TONY EVANS THAT WHYTE HAD FOR HIM AND HIS MINISTRY BEFORE GOD TOUCHED DR. TONY EVANS’ HEART TO FIND MULTIPLE WAYS TO SUPPORT  A PREACHER HE DID NOT EVEN KNOW PERSONALLY. IN OTHER WORDS, WHYTE CAN NOT POSSIBLY BE MAD AT DR. TONY EVANS ABOUT ANYTHING EVEN THOUGH DR. EVANS FORSOOK WHYTE AFTER WHYTE CALLED OUT AND REBUKED ONE OF EVANS’ PREACHER BOYS AND PREACHER FRIENDS, CONWAY EDWARDS, WHO WAS AT THE TIME PASTOR OF ONE COMMUNITY CHURCH IN MCKINNEY, TEXAS, FOR FOLLOWING ANDY STANLEY IN SUPPORTING AND PROMOTING SODOMY/HOMOSEXUALITY  LGBTQIPF2SSAA+ IN THE CHURCH AND LEADING HIS CHURCH TO BECOME A HOMOSEXUAL-AFFIRMING CHURCH. WHYTE PUBLICLY PREDICTED THAT DR. TONY EVANS WOULD POSSIBLY CEASE SUPPORTING HIM AFTER PUBLICLY REBUKING HIS PROTÉGÉ CONWAY EDWARDS OF ONE COMMUNITY CHURCH IN MCKINNEY, TEXAS. BUT THERE ARE NO HARD FEELINGS BECAUSE OF THE EXTRAORDINARY LOVE AND SUPPORT THAT DR. TONY EVANS AND HIS WIFE, DR. LOIS EVANS, SHOWED A PREACHER THEY DID NOT KNOW PERSONALLY FOR NEARLY 20 YEARS, AND BECAUSE WHYTE KNEW HE (WHYTE) WAS RIGHT FOR PUBLICLY REBUKING CONWAY EDWARDS AND HIS WIFE, JADA, AND THEIR FRIEND, ANDY STANLEY, FOR TRYING TO MAKE THE ABOMINATION OF SODOMY/HOMOSEXUALITY ACCEPTED IN THE CHURCH OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AND FOR ACCEPTING HOMOSEXUAL MEMBERS INTO THE CHURCH OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.

WHYTE SAID ALL OF THAT TO SAY THIS: THE MAIN LEGACY OF DR. TONY EVANS AND LOIS EVANS WILL BE THAT THEY DID A WONDERFUL JOB IN RAISING THEIR CHILDREN. JONATHAN IS THE EVIDENCE OF THAT, AND IT IS GOOD TO HEAR JONATHAN STAND STRONG ON THE WORD AND APPLY IT TO HIS LIFE AND THE LIVES OF OTHERS.

HOWEVER, IT WILL BE BETTER FOR EVERYBODY, INCLUDING JONATHAN, TO HEAR FROM THE HUMBLE, STAND-UP, MAN-UP, STRAIGHT SHOOTER, “NO EXCUSES” DR. TONY EVANS, WHOM WE HAVE COME TO KNOW TO BE MEEK, HONEST, TRANSPARENT, AND A TRUTH TELLER TO COME FORWARD, REVEAL AND CONFESS THE SIN, WHATEVER IT IS, AND TELL THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH, AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH; THEN APOLOGIZE TO THE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO LOVE HIM AND HAVE SUPPORTED HIM DOWN THROUGH THE YEARS — NOT FOR THE SIN BUT FOR NOT MANNING UP AND BEING TRANSPARENT AND TELLING US THE SIN UP-FRONT. WHYTE SAYS FURTHER IF TONY EVANS CANNOT DO THIS POSTHASTE, HE CALLS ON HIS BROTHER IN CHRIST AND THE GREATEST SUPPORTER OF THE OVER 40-YEAR-OLD GOSPEL LIGHT EVANGELISTIC SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL HISTORY, TO RESIGN AND TURN THE CHURCH OVER TO HIS SON, JONATHAN, WITH THE APPROVAL OF THE ELDER BOARD OF THE CHURCH AS JONATHAN IS BEING A GOOD SON AND IS TRYING TO FILL TONY EVANS’ SHOES. WHYTE TELLS TONY EVANS, GOD HAS BLESSED YOUR LIFE TREMENDOUSLY. WE ALL THANK GOD FOR WHAT HE HAS USED YOU TO DO FOR OVER 50 YEARS. HOWEVER, AS SHAKESPEARE SAID, “ALL THE WORLD’S A STAGE, AND ALL THE MEN AND WOMEN MERELY PLAYERS. THEY HAVE THEIR EXITS AND THEIR ENTRANCES.” DR. TONY EVANS, THIS MAY BE THE TIME TO EXIT, FOR THE GLORY OF GOD AND THE ONGOING OF A GREAT WORK, MINISTRY, AND CHURCH.

TO DR. TONY EVANS AND ALL PASTORS: THE WAY THE “SITTING DOWN FOR A WHILE AFTER COMMITTING SIN” PROCESS WORKS IS:

  1. THE PASTOR MUST PUBLICLY ADMIT AND CONFESS HIS SINS. HE MUST TELL THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH, AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH NO MATTER HOW UGLY THE SIN IS. AMAZINGLY, THIS TRANSPARENCY IMMEDIATELY INSPIRES TRUST. DON’T LIE BECAUSE PEOPLE CAN TELL WHETHER YOU ARE LYING WHETHER YOU THINK SO, OR NOT.
  2. THE PASTOR SHOULD SIT DOWN FOR A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME AND STAY OUT OF ALL FORMS OF PREACHING MINISTRY.
  3. HIS RESTORATION TO THAT POSITION IN THE MINISTRY IS DETERMINED BY THE NATURE OF THE SIN. FOR EXAMPLE, IF IT IS ADULTERY IN THE SIMILITUDE OF DAVID AND BATHSHEBA, THE CHURCH CAN WORK WITH HIM AND HELP RESTORE HIM. HOWEVER, IF IT IS A SIN AND AN ABOMINATION SUCH AS SODOMY/HOMOSEXUALITY — BEING A “POWER BOTTOM” HOMOSEXUAL, PROMOTING HOMOSEXUALITY IN THE CHURCH, OR MOLESTING AND RAPING A CHILD, OR COMMITTING INCEST WITH A FAMILY MEMBER INCLUDING STEP-CHILDREN, THEN, NO!, YOU CANNOT BE RESTORED. PERIOD! FULL STOP!

Jonathan Evans, son of Pastor Tony Evans, has opened up about the moment he learned his father would be stepping away from the pulpit due to an undisclosed sin, describing it as a “punch to the gut.” 

*(FOR SOME STRANGE REASON THE YOUTUBE VIDEO BY JONATHAN EVANS WAS TAKEN DOWN IN THE LAST 24 HOURS.)

Evans, who serves as an associate pastor at Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship (OCBF), recently shared a video reflecting on the shock he felt earlier this year after learning his father, who led the 11,000-member Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship church in Dallas, Texas, would be stepping away from his pastoral duties for a season of restoration “due to sin,” which has yet to be publicly revealed.

“It was a shock to us … he told us that he’s going to take a step back from ministry, go to a time of healing and restoration — a time that he needs,” Jonathan said. “We’re all praying for his restoration, recovery, and for him to be fully back doing what he loves to do and what he’s called to do.”

The younger Evans, who serves as team chaplain for the Dallas Cowboys, described the news of his father’s decision to step back from ministry in June as a “sharp change” for him personally and caused him to “recalibrate.”

“He has been doing [ministry] since I was born, so I don’t know anything different,” he said, adding that during that time, he studied Psalms 46, which states that “God is our refuge and strength, our very present help in time of trouble.”

“So I need you to understand that God is with you. He’s with you, even though you don’t feel like He’s with you,” he said. “When my dad stepped back from ministry and stepped down from the pulpit, I needed this. I needed to know God is my refuge. God is my strength, and He’s very present.”

“Be still doesn’t mean don’t move. Be still doesn’t mean be physically irresponsible,” he added. “Be still means that you can be emotionally steady. Be still doesn’t mean stop stepping. It means stop stressing. But do what God has called you to do with an unwavering confidence that He is God.”

“So yeah,” he continued, “when my dad stepped down, it was a punch to the gut for me [and] my siblings. … God says, ‘Be still. I’m still God. Do not fear. Do not be afraid. I’ve already won.’ Just because there’s bumps along the way doesn’t mean victory hasn’t already been had.”

Tony Evans, a bestselling author and ministry leader who had pastored the church for 48 years, did not provide specific details on why he was stepping away from the pulpit.

However, he confessed in a written statement that though he did not commit any crimes, he fell short of the biblical standards espoused by his ministry, suggesting it was “due to sin.”
