And more preachers will be disclosed. He's not the last. You may be reading this and if you're in sexual sin, you may be next. Dr. Tony Evans steps aside because of "sin" in his life that he committed "years ago." I know what it's like to hide Secret Sexual Sins. Luke 12:2 is alive and well. God is uncovering the secrets of men's hearts. IT'S NOTHING NEW.
To conceal sexual immorality, a pastor will always used code words.
While saying they’ve “sinned,” that’s as far as they’ll go so as not to intentionally disclose the actual sin like adultery, porn, masturbation, fornication, homosexuality, or bisexuality.
But was it secret sexual sins in Dr. Tony Evans' life? Possibly. And here's why.
But first...............
On a similar note, the statutes of limitations have been thrown away when it comes to discovering sexual immorality that occurred in a person's life many years ago.
When Bret Kavanaugh was nominated for the Supreme Court, Ms. Ford came with a salacious agressive accusation that Bret Kavanaugh committed a crime of rape during a drinking party against her over 2 decades ago. The playbook demands that if you want to disqualify someone, use a sexual accusation.
Clarence Thomas knows how this game was played.
The Maryland State Police stated that they were ready to investigate the alleged crime should Ms. Ford file a formal complaint. If the rape had taken place, since the jurisdiction is in Maryland, the MSP would have investigated. If you want the wheels of justice to roll, all she had to do was file an affidavit under penalty of perjury.
It never happened.
Which underscores that fact that the statute of limitations rule expired a long time ago and anyone that committed any crime would be investigated. The reason of mentioning this is to underscore the fact that things done years ago are no longer safe secrets.
Obviously, Justice Kavanaugh was falsely accused as there was no evidence of a sexual assault on Ms. Ford.
The "Me Too" came about.
But all of a sudden, the movement lost steam because you can't believe everything that anyone says. Where were they with former president Bill Clinton?
Not to mention the fact that when Jeffrey Epstein and Harvey Weinstein, and now, P. Diddy, as well as R. Kelly and others, that their sexual immoralities are surfacing.
The secrets keep coming out.
Dr. Tony Evans of Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship disclosed that he had committed sin years ago and has stepped away from pastoral ministry for a season. He's even preached at men's meetings.
Teaching the prosperity false gospel and sexual immorality is connected see 2 Peter chapter 2.
You could read about it here.
The sin wasn't specified and we shouldn't be surprised that it wasn't specified.
The fact that Dr. Evans kept it under wraps for years sounds like Mike Bickle of IHOPKC (International House Of Prayer Kansas City), or Fred Price Jr. of Ever Increasing Faith in California as well as others.
Years ago, when I came out of the sin of porn, stories like this would continue to come out.
"Come Clean!" Or Be Exposed!
It's a chapter in my book "Secret Sexual Sins."
Now many will say that we don't know what Dr. Tony Evans sin is.
And we don't.
Preponderance of the evidence is the standard.
It's more likely than not that the sin Dr. Evans may have committed was sexual immorality.
BUT YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S SPECIFIED!
Absolutely right.
So you're wrong. Possibly. And since I know how to keep sexual sins in my own life a secret, the doubt about what Dr. Even's "sin" was, is preponderance at best.
What keeps a man from disclosing his sin?
SHAME.
For years, a man can keep his sexual sins a secret. Many pastors have died while the discovery of their sexual sins went with them to the grave. But we have the God of heaven that doesn't hold a man guiltless. Hebrews 13:4, Revelation 21:8, and 22:14-15 is clear.
He puts away sin and He clearly punishes the guilty.
David's sin was put away and David paid a severe price. His son, birthed by Bathsheba, was killed. But Solomon would be born to build the 1st Temple.
Isaiah's sin was "burned" from his lips. Isaiah saw the Lord, seated upon the throne. An angel took tonges and took the coal from the altar and touched the lips of Isaiah and his sin was purged.
With Dr. Evans especially, the shame of possibly a sexual sin and couple that with keeping it a secret so no one would know may be a gross violation of lying and hypocrisy.
Psalms 90:7-8 (NKJV) "For we have been consumed by Your anger,
And by Your wrath we are terrified.
You have set our iniquities before You,
Our secret sins in the light of Your countenance."
I'll be one of the first ones to apologize if there's conclusive irrefutable evidence that secret sexual sins wasn't the sin committed.
Rushing to judgment is a known disease among men.
Should a man disclose his sin for all to see?
To rule it out takes courage because if you're lying that it wasn't a sexual sin, it gets even worse before God and man. It's hypocrisy.
So why not man up and rule it out?
NDA's have been signed. We don't know if anyone was forced to sign one by Dr. Evans but we shouldn't be surprised if one was allegedly signed, if any.
SHAME!!!! Shame is the reason why a man with a stellar reputation as Dr. Evans would never disclose his sexual sins. Celebrated apologist, the late Ravi Zacharias comes to mind.
Man with a reputation of holiness is afraid of the shame of disclosing his sexual sins and then covers it up all of these years. That's blatant hypocrisy.
So why should we say nothing and just wait?
Because for centuries, the sinful man hides from God like Adam and Eve hid from God.
We can no longer take it for granted even in the Trump hush money case. We see that there's a strong possibility of Trump having a track record with porn stars. Stormy Daniels (Stephanie Clifford) did state that nothing happened but with Susan McDougal, it may be a different story.
So to rule out sexual immorality, Dr. Evans, man up and just disclose it. You don't have to but to avoid the hypocrisy, just man up.
Sooner or later, it will be discovered.
