Dr. Tony Evans Relinquishes Duties Due to Personal Sin
In a shocking statement posted to the Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship website, Dr. Tony Evan, senior pastor of the church, has announced that he is stepping away from all pastoral duties and is “submitting to a healing and restoration process established by the elders.”
The pastor, author and syndicated radio host does not list a specific reason for his decision, other than he “fell short” of the standard expected of a Christian leader.
The foundation of our ministry has always been our commitment to the Word of God as the absolute supreme
standard of truth to which we are to conform our lives. When we fall short of that standard due to sin, we are
required to repent and restore our relationship with God. A number of years ago, I fell short of that standard.
I am, therefore, required to apply the same biblical standard of repentance and restoration to myself that I
have applied to others. I have shared this with my wife, my children and our church elders, and they have
lovingly placed their arms of grace around me. While I have committed no crime, I did not use righteous
judgment in my actions. In light of this, I am stepping away from my pastoral duties and am submitting to a
healing and restoration process established by the elders. This will afford me a needed time of spiritual
recovery and healing.

Demonic Forces on the Rise: Perspectives From Jack Hibbs
For those paying attention and applying biblical discernment to the times in which we live in, an increase in demonic activity is evermore visible, according to Pastor Jack Hibbs.
In a recent video, Hibbs, Senior and Founding Pastor of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills, addressed demons and the increase in attention paid to them as opposed to the preaching of the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
“Possession, Satan, all of these things have now carried the bulk of the conversation rather than the pursuit of lost souls,” Hibbs says. “People now are becoming overstimulated on spirituality rather than biblical doctrine.”
LA Marzulli: The Mormon Church’s Dark Tie to the Nephilim
What is one of the greatest kept secrets of the Mormon church?
In an interview with Charisma Media, Nephilim expert L.A. Marzulli uncovered the dark secret of the Mormon church and how it relates back to the Nephilim.
The first thing Marzulli puts as a disclaimer about the Mormon church is that the gospel they adhere to is not the same gospel that Christians do.
Our Nation Is Dying Because of Idle Shepherds Who Refuse to Get Involved in ‘Political Issues’
This article by Jack Hibbs was originally published by Harbinger’s Daily (harbingersdaily.com), and is republished with permission.
Abortion is one of the driving political forces of this current election cycle. Sadly, many ill-informed pastors and Christians refuse to get involved in things like the sanctity of life because of their politics. “That’s political stuff,” they say. Really?
Do you know how that happened? Politicians ran into the church, took the topic of abortion and declared it to be a political issue, knowing that a weak, worthless, wimpy church would bow down and leave the scene. The political world ran in and said, “Marriage is not a church issue; it’s a political issue!” And the church just collapsed and folded.
As you can tell, I have no confidence at all in a church that is not a New Testament church. Why would I? Why would anybody? The church has to be the ground and pillar of all truth. The church has to be the entity by which the world is brought to the knowledge of God and also the conviction of God. The church is to be the most loved and the most hated people on Earth—just like Jesus.
