DANIEL WHYTE III SAID ON THE FIRST DAY THAT ROBERT MORRIS RESIGNED FROM GATEWAY CHURCH FOR CHILD RAPE IN JUNE 2024 THAT ALL OF THE ELDERS AND ALL OF THE EXECUTIVE STAFF SHOULD RESIGN IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE HE KNEW THEY KNEW OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS TRAGIC MATTER. WHYTE ALSO HAS REPEATEDLY CALLED FOR ALL OF THE ELDERS AND THE EXECUTIVE STAFF TO RESIGN AND SECOND, THAT THE CHURCH TEMPORARILY CLOSE SO THAT THIRD, LOCAL AND FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS CAN INVESTIGATE THIS SAD MATTER THOROUGHLY. NOW WE HAVE A SITUATION WHERE THE CHURCH’S LAW FIRM HAS EFFECTIVELY FIRED MULTIPLE ELDERS OF THE CHURCH FOR BEING HYPOCRITES, PHONIES, AND FAKES WHO KNEW OF THE CHILD RAPE CRIMES OF THE PASTOR THE WHOLE TIME — FOR “FILTHY LUCRE SAKE” AND FOR JUDAS’ 30 MILLION PIECES OF SILVER. GATEWAY CHURCH IS A JUDAS-LAODICEAN CHURCH RUN AMOCK!
Four months after news broke that Gateway Church Pastor and founder Robert Morris sexually molested a 12-year-old girl when he was in his twenties, resulting in him being permanently separated from Gateway amid an implosion of his personal and professional life, an internal investigation has revealed that multiple elders knew about Morris’ crimes before his victim Cindy Clemishire shared her story publicly in mid-June, resulting in them being removed from their positions at the church.
During Saturday’s service, Elder Tra Willbanks revealed that following the results of an internal investigation led by law firm Haynes & Boone, all of Gateway Church’s elders except for three either knew without a doubt that Morris sexually abused a minor, or had sufficient information to know that she was likely a child when she was abused, but they failed to act and “failed to inquire further.” He explains:
“Furthermore, she shared that this sexual abuse happened on multiple occasions over four and a half years. On that same evening of June 14th, Robert Morris directed Gateway employees to release a statement that intended to minimize the severity of Cindy’s claims in one final attempt to hide the truth.
The church says that they gave the investigating law firm “full access to our staff and internal communications,” where they collected 680 gigabytes of data, reviewed thousands of pages of documents and emails, waived confidentiality agreements, and interviewed dozens of people and leaders. However, “there have been six individuals who have declined to meet in person with Haynes and Boone, including Robert Morris.”
We now know that there were elders and employees at Gateway who knew before June 14th, 2024 that Cindy was 12 at the time of the abuse. Additionally, we also learned there were other individuals who were notified in the years prior to June 14th, 2024, about these allegations of abuse, but failed to inquire further.
In other words, there were two groups. There was one group who knew without a doubt that Cindy was 12 when this abuse began, and there was a second group who knew of allegations of sexual abuse by Robert Morris, who had enough information that they should have led them to ask more questions and inquire further, but they did not.
Both groups are fundamentally wrong and simply cannot and will not be tolerated at Gateway Church. As a result, we have decided to draw a very bright line here based on biblical and moral values and the values of our church family. And we can report to you that as of today, no individuals in either group serves as an elder, is employed by, or works at Gateway Church. They have been removed.”
IF YOU WERE TO DIE TODAY, WHERE WOULD YOU GO: HEAVEN OR HELL? IF YOU’RE NOT SURE, “BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AND THOU SHALT BE SAVED” FOR JESUS CHRIST SAID THE MOST IMPORTANT WORDS EVER SPOKEN IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WHEN HE SAID, “FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE.” READ FURTHER RIGHT HERE:
THE BIG QUESTION
GOSPEL LIGHT MINUTE X #447 WITH DANIEL WHYTE III
This is the “Chief of sinners,” Daniel Whyte III, president of Gospel Light Society International, with the Gospel Light Minute X Podcast #447 titled, “The Big Question” I’m here to remind you of what the Bible says, that “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners” like you and me.
“HAVE YOU BEEN BORN AGAIN?”
The question is not “Have you joined a church?” or “Are you trying to do your best?” or “Do you have religion?” but “Are you twice-born?” Jesus Christ said in John 3:3, “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God”.
We enter the physical world by birth. Spiritual life likewise is entered with a birth. We become members of a human family by birth; we become members of the family of God by birth, by being “born again.” There is no other way to get into the human family except by birth, and there is no other way to get into God’s family except by the new birth. Neither education, nor cultivation, nor reformation, nor “turning over a new leaf,” will accomplish this. What is needed is not a new “leaf” but a new “life”! “Ye must be born again” (John 3:7).
A New Nature Needed
By physical birth we become partakers of human nature; by being born again we become “partakers of the divine nature”. A Christian is the product of a divine “begetting”. The second birth is not an improvement of the old nature; it is the imparting of an entirely new nature. The old nature is hopelessly corrupt and incapable of ever being made fit for His presence. The new birth requires a creative act of the Holy Spirit. “If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature”.
Not “Trying” But “Trusting”
“Trying to follow Christ” is not Christianity. Christianity is not imitation of Christ, it is the indwelling of Christ. Christianity is not trying to do anything. It is trusting Christ Who has done it all! He has “finished the work” and there is nothing left to do but simply to receive and trust Him. He shed His precious blood on the cross and the work is all done once and forever! Cease trying and begin trusting! Believers will progressively become more and more like Christ, but by His power, not their own.
What Must I Do To Be Saved?
Simply “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ”. The Bible says in 1 John 5:1, “Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God”. The Bible states in John 1:12,13, “As many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God”.
You are born again, you become a Christian by trusting a Person—receiving a Person. The very moment you do this, the Lord Jesus Christ comes in and life begins!
What Is Meant By “Believe”?
To “believe on the Lord Jesus Christ” means more than simply believing the historic facts concerning Him. Intellectual belief about Christ is not sufficient. The belief that brings salvation must be “with the heart,” that is, with the whole being. This belief also includes repentance: “Repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ”. The Bible states in Acts 17:30, “God … now commandeth all men every where to repent”.
The faith which saves, then, includes the necessity to repent, and to receive Christ as Saviour and Lord, to rest upon Him alone for salvation. It means to trust Him so utterly and completely that, if He should fail, there would be no hope at all!
May I Know That I Am Born Again?
This is an important question. We know that we are born again by the testimony of God’s Word. God says in John 5:24, “He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life”. Have you believed on the Lord Jesus Christ as explained by God’s Word? If so, then you are saved, you are “born again,” you have “passed from death unto life.” God says so! Take God at His Word, and go on your way rejoicing!
One Final Word
You may “belong to a church,” you may be “trying to do the best you can,” you may be “striving to live right.” Your outward life may be the model of moral correctness, and you may be looked up to, honored, revered, and respected. Yet, if you have not been “born again” you are just as lost as if you had never heard of Christ. Yes, you may teach in the Sunday school, read the Bible, sing, shout, “feel happy,” and all the rest—but if you have never been “born again” you are still in your sins and a stranger to the Lord Jesus Christ!.
If you want to be saved from the wrath to come and from an eternity in Hell, and if you believe that Jesus Christ suffered, bled, and died on the cross for your sins, was buried, and rose again from the dead and you are willing to trust Jesus Christ with all of your heart so you can go to Heaven, please pray with me what is called the sinner’s prayer: Holy Father God, I acknowledge that I am a sinner and I admit that I have sinned against You and that I have broken Your Ten Commandments. I have lied before. I have stolen things before. I have lusted after people and things before. I have dishonored and disobeyed my parents. I have taken Your holy Name in vain. For Jesus Christ’s sake, please have mercy and grace upon my soul and forgive me of all of my sins, my failures, and my faults. As I now believe in Your Holy Son the Lord Jesus Christ. I believe that He suffered, bled, and died on the cross for my sins, was buried and rose again. Lord Jesus, please come into my heart and save my soul and change my life. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and help me to repent of my sins past. Help me to turn from my old, evil life and follow You in the new life. For it is in Your Name I pray. Amen.
