DR. TONY EVANS’ CHURCH LEADERSHIP AND MEMBERS RESPECT THEIR PASTOR’S DECISION TO STEP DOWN AND SEE IT AS A SIGN OF SPIRITUAL MATURITY, HUMILITY, AND A GOOD EXAMPLE FOR OTHER PASTORS FROM COMMENTS AFTER THEIR FIRST SUNDAY MORNING SERVICE WITHOUT THEIR SENIOR PASTOR

DANIEL WHYTE III, PRESIDENT OF GOSPEL LIGHT SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL, SAYS DR. TONY EVANS IS TRULY MEEK ENOUGH TO BELIEVE IN THE “NEXT MAN UP PHILOSOPHY.” PASTOR GIBSON DID A GREAT JOB TODAY, FOR THE GLORY OF GOD, UNDER VERY DIFFICULT CIRCUMSTANCES. WHYTE ENCOURAGES DR. TONY EVANS TO WORSHIP FROM HOME ONLINE FOR NOW, AND HE ENCOURAGES PASTOR GIBSON AND THE ELDERS TO PICK A MAN AMONG THEM WHO IS FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST AND WHO HAS THE TALENT AND GIFTING FROM GOD TO GIVE THE MEDIA A WEEKLY BRIEFING AND NOT TO USE SECRETARIES OF THE CHURCH OR THE URBAN ALTERNATIVE TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE MEDIA AND TO CERTAINLY NOT USE SO-CALLED PROFESSIONAL PUBLIC RELATIONS TYPES, WHO ARE TRAINED TO LIE AND COVER UP AS DOES T.D. JAKES AND THE POTTER’S HOUSE AND OTHER SO-CALLED CHURCHES, FOR IF WE KNOW THE SPIRIT OF TONY EVANS AND OAK CLIFF, YOU HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE. LAST WEEK WAS A DISASTER BECAUSE NOW HALF THE WORLD BELIEVES THAT DR. TONY EVANS IS “STEPPING AWAY FROM THE PULPIT,” WHICH MEANS HE IS COMING BACK ONE DAY, AND HALF THE WORLD BELIEVES HE HAS RESIGNED FROM THE CHURCH, WHICH OF COURSE MEANS HE IS NEVER COMING BACK AS SENIOR PASTOR. THAT NEEDS TO BE CLEARED UP, POST HASTE FOR THE CHURCH AND HIS AUDIENCE OF MILLIONS AROUND THE WORLD. WHYTE ENCOURAGES PASTOR GIBSON AND THE ELDERS TO HOLD DAILY PUBLIC PRAYER MEETINGS, ESPECIALLY FOR THE CHURCH, IF NOT IN THE SANCTUARY IN ONE OF THE CHAPELS OR LARGE CLASSROOMS AND AIR IT LIVE ONLINE. THIS IS NOT A PRAYER MEETING NECESSARILY FOR TONY EVANS; IT IS A PRAYER MEETING FOR EVERYBODY IN THE CHURCH TO CONFESS AND REPENT OF THEIR SINS, THE COMMUNITY, THE NATION, AND THE WORLD. AFTER THE PRAYER MEETING, GIVE OUT GOSPEL TRACTS AND HAVE THE CHURCH GET GOSPEL TRACTS AFTER WEDNESDAY NIGHT SERVICES AND AFTER SUNDAY SERVICES TO PASS OUT TO PEOPLE INVITING THEM TO CHURCH AND WITNESS TO ANYTHING THAT MOVES — AND HAVE THE GREATEST TIME OF REVIVAL AND SOUL-WINNING THE CHURCH HAS EVER SEEN BECAUSE IF THE PASTOR IS WILLING TO CONFESS HIS SINS AND REPENT, WE ALL KNOW 95 PERCENT OF THE CHURCH NEEDS TO CONFESS THEIR SINS, REPENT, AND GET RIGHT WITH GOD AS WELL. AS THE OLD BLACK CHURCH USED TO SING: “GET RIGHT CHURCH, AND LET’S GO HOME!”

l at Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship Church are confident that their senior pastor, Tony Evans, will return strengthened to the evangelical ministry he led for 48 years.

On Sunday, June 16, hundreds of people attended worship service at the church, located at 1660 Camp Wisdom Road in Dallas, waiting for more news about the congregation’s future after Evans announced he was stepping down from his role.
