Pastor Tony Evans, a Megachurch resigns after nearly 50 years as he confesses to mysterious ‘sin’
A megachurch pastor in Texas has stepped down from his congregation after nearly 50 years while confessing to committing a mystery “sin.”
The 74 years old Dr. Tony Evans, resigned as the lead pastor of Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship Church in Dallas on Sunday, 9th of June, 2024.
He broke the news to his followers in a statement on the church’s website.
“The foundation of our ministry has always been our commitment to the Word of God as the absolute supreme standard of truth to which we are to conform our lives. When we fall short of that standard due to sin, we are required to repent and restore our relationship with God,” Evans wrote in his statement.
“A number of years ago, I fell short of that standard,” Evans said.
“I am, therefore, required to apply the same biblical standard of repentance and restoration to myself that I have applied to others.”
Evans, the former chaplain for both the Dallas Cowboys and the Mavericks, stated he “committed no crime” but “did not use righteous judgment in my actions.”
“In light of this, I am stepping away from my pastoral duties and am submitting to a healing and restoration process established by the elders,” Evans wrote.
“This will afford me a needed time of spiritual recovery and healing.”
The “elder board” of his ministry said they are “obligated to govern the church in accordance with the scriptures.” [CONTINUE READING HERE]>>>>>
