If only all men of God lived their lives with this level of conviction ❤

[achildsheart]

He’s a man of integrity. He made a mistake let’s pray and move on.

[swannyriver]

At least he has enough integrity to admit it instead of standing in front of folks with dirty hands ✋️

[monsitesvisit]

Be slow to judge people, we all fall short of God’s glory. God bless you Pastor Evans, thank you for all you’ve done for the kingdom of God.

[GoodEnergy]

That's his fight . Not here to judge . We're all sinners saved by the Grace of God. Salute to him for his courage in sharing his conviction and prayers for his strength in restoration and healing 🙏🏾❤️

He's being honest he's not making excuses. I respect that. GOD bless and heal him.

[nadinefearon]

Even though Pastor Evans step down from ministry I pray he will never let go of God's unchanging hands. Be encouraged Pastor God never give up on you; his love is unconditional.

we are all sinners but it takes courage to admit it openly hope for the best for him and his church

[mtc-ji]

Whatever happens, let’s honor this man’s legacy. He studied the Bible countless hours in order to reach us and teach us. He raised his kids well so they would not depart from the faith. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. He who is without sin, cast the first stone. He has still contributed more to the Kingdom of God than many of us ever will. I pray for his family and pray that Dr Tony Evans gets to make peace with God and the elders of his church and gets to live out his latter years in blessings.

God is shaking everything in the dark and bringing it to the light.

[AbbyAvon]

I respect his integrity and his obedience to holding himself accountable. Prayers for him, his family and congregation.

[Jazzy_Elevations]

Dr.Evans was my pastor from teenager to adult. I stand by and respect his decision. Only God can judge

[allthingsnu]

He is submitting to church order which is proper. My prayers go out for him and his family.

[Hyx-]

Dr. Evans has been and still is the reason thousands, millions of people have come to accept Christ. Praying he will return after his sabbatical.

[livingchrististheonlyway]

I think many Pastors should follow and do the same. Go back. Repent and Humble yourselves. This is a step in the right direction.🙌🏾🙏🏾❤️

[ubb.]

God bless him, guide him, and heal him. He is a true blessing to the world and a pleasure to listen to. I hope he comes back stronger.❤

[Uriah-rm]

Why didn’t he step down “years ago” when the sin was committed? Someone must have threatened to go public.

[carolamoore]

We have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, but we cannot continue to sin. Therefore we may sin, but we cannot make it a habit. The bible says to confess our sins one to another so we can be healed. I pray for his family and church and that Dr. Evans will be completely delivered and restored in Christ Jesus! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
