Steve Lawson Has Been Removed From Ministry Due to Sexual Immorality


Today TBC announced that Steve Lawson is removed from all ministries at Trinity Bible Church in Dallas:

ANNOUNCEMENT

The elders at Trinity Bible Church of Dallas regretfully announce that effective immediately, Steven J. Lawson has been removed indefinitely from all ministry activities at Trinity Bible Church of Dallas.  Several days ago, the elders at Trinity Bible Church of Dallas were informed by Steve Lawson of an inappropriate relationship that he has had with a woman. The elders have met with Steve and will continue to come alongside him and pray for him with the ultimate goal of his personal repentance. Steve will no longer be compensated by Trinity Bible Church of Dallas.

In light of this, may we be reminded that we are ALL sinners, and Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners - and Christ remains Head of His Church, which is bigger than any fallen man.  In fact, Jesus Christ will continue to lead His Church, including Trinity Bible Church here in Dallas, just like He has from the start of this work on January 5, 2018.  Since that time, the elders have focused on the primacy of biblical exposition knit together by various men filling the pulpit each week.  The Lord was building Trinity Bible Church of Dallas well before Steve became our Lead Preacher, and He will continue to build this church long after Steve Lawson, or any other man for that matter.  We would ask for your prayers for the elders, for our Body, and for Steve and his family.  Let us always be mindful of the words of 1 Corinthians 10:12, “Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed that he does not fall."

He preached last Sunday and then the week prior, at Bible study. He taught on "Defining True Greatness" (Luke 7:24-30) on Sept. 15,2024 and the Thursday prior, Sept. 12, 2024 he taught "Being Truthtellers" at the men's Bible Study.

I will have to now go back and remove all posts that promote him in a good way. The one that I will keep up is where he lauded false teacher Billy Graham.
