CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I saw Dr. Tony Evans at the 865 Mens Conference last weekend. Dr. Evans was amazing. He preached 2 separate 45-minute sermons without looking at his notes.
He brought the heat, challenged each of the 1,900 men there, and prayed for us to be the men we need to be and God called us to be. He shared that NFL officials have a book of rules to follow…sometimes they do, sometimes they don’t. Men of God do too…the Bible…sometimes we follow it and sometimes we don’t.
Tony encouraged us to be Kingdom Men, Kingdom Husbands and Kingdom Fathers.
Dr. Evans shared about his rough childhood in a non-Christian home. His parents weren’t believers. Two strangers poured into Tony’s Dad and led him to Jesus. Things were still bad at home but his Dad had changed and loved and supported his wife, Tony’s mother even more than ever. Why? Because he was a changed man.
One night, Tony’s Mom came downstairs crying and told her husband that the more she hates him and fights with him, the more he loves and supports her. She wasn’t sure what being a Christian was but she wanted to learn about it. From that point on, his family worshipped and studied and loved the Lord. This included all of his siblings who were baptized.
After college, Tony started a church with 10 people in the living room of his house. He was the first African-American to earn a doctorate at the Dallas Seminary. His church in South Dallas now has 10,000+ thousand members. Tony’s preaching now spans the world, with his broadcasts airing on over 1,400 radio outlets and in over 130 countries, reaching millions each week. All of his 4 children are in the ministry.
He has been the chaplain for both the Dallas Cowboys and the Dallas Mavericks. Tony has written more than 100+ books, is on YouTube, has his own websites, etc.
Tony and his family are everywhere sharing about God’s love. Why did he share all of these accomplishments? It wasn’t to brag, it was to challenge those of us there to be like the 2 strangers who poured into Tony’s Dad and brought him to the cross. Their work led to a transformation of his family which led to the transformation of thousands if not hundreds of thousands who deepened their relationship with Christ because of those 2 men who made a family go from non-believers to disciples.
MOLESKIN:
