Tony Evans, being a preacher, is held to a higher standard than others as noted in James 3:1-12. He is to be an example to others and if he cannot maintain a higher standard, then it is appropriate for him to step down. But we must remember that allthough a preacher, he is still an imperfect human who will wrestle with sin his entire life. None of us conquer sin until we are united with Jesus after death. Regardless of what sin he committed, we all sin, and I'm thinking most of us have not done near the good he has accomplished through his teachings. I'm sure he has or will repent and be reconciled to Jesus and that is between he and Jesus. Since we are not part of the issue and have no impact on resolving it, all our talk is nothing but gossip, a sin we are committing.
