YOU ARE NEVER TOO BAD,
TO COME TO JESUS!
Although I never followed Tony Evans' ministry, I have to say, this is still a shock. Because I have never heard anything harsh about him. For him to step down, the sin he committed must have surpassed Peter's denying JESUS Christ!
I do understand repenting for your sins to The Lord, to the offended party and then the church congregation - then "stepping away" for awhile with The Lord to regroup and make sure whatever the sin/s are have been banished. But to step down, that's a biggie.
I don't think "stepping down" in the permanent sense should be done unless JESUS Christ Himself in prayer or in your spirit, tells you to. What people say, means absolutely nothing. As I mentioned the disciple of JESUS, Peter, he denied The King. It tore him up terribly afterwards, but he later repented of his sin and moved on in furthering the gospel.
Imagine, to deny JESUS Christ to people 3 times, how bad that must have been for him after serving and being with Him for years. He even walked with Him as a friend, and yet, stabbed Him in the back because of the fear of idiots!
Those who kept badgering him in John 18:15-27, you could tell they were probably sent by satan to test him. Peter wound up lying as JESUS had told him earlier he would do, and the c**k crowed signifying it. To sin against The Master is a very bad thing.
But again, Peter repented and soon moved on preaching the gospel boldly. Whatever sin any Christian commits, when we come to The Master JESUS and humbly, sincerely repent, He is faithful and just to forgive us. There is no one who "Can't" turn away from their sins and be saved.
Makes no difference if a person's been a false prophet for years, a pr******te, witch, necromancer, sorcerer, killer, liar, adulterer even if they so called "sold their soul to the devil" for a record contract. The Blood of JESUS destroys any blood contract a person signed with satan. Because...
JESUS CHRIST IS THE KING of kings and LORD of lords!!! Blessings!!!
