“By including the compliments and history between Lawson and MacArthur, Roys is sinisterly going for guilt by association. Meanwhile, she has already started labeling Lawson an abuser, going so far as to cite a Texas law against clergy sexual abuse.”
(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Most of the church scandals in 2024 have come from known egalitarians, including Mike Bickle of IHOPKC, Robert Morris of Gateway Church, and Tony Evans of Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship. However, Steve Lawson is not an egalitarian, nor was he some oddball charismatic. In the wake of Steve Lawson’s adultery scandal bringing about his resignation from ministry and the downfall of his legacy, the knives have come out from the usual suspects: the feminists….
Chief amongst the feminists is Julie Roys, whose Roys Report gives her “journalism” a veneer of legitimacy when she is just an activist who pushes feminism within Christian circles. With the Lawson story breaking, she decided to weaponize the adultery of one man against none other than John MacArthur. Roys has a history of smearing John MacArthur, criticizing his Covid reopening, his wealth, and the false claim that Grace Community Church engaged in abusive counseling against Eileen Gray. The ultimate irony with Julie Roys is that she groomed a former youth group student in which she had lesbian fantasies. For this alone, she should have been canceled and blacklisted, but alas, she largely avoided lasting accountability.
CRN has compiled a list of false teachers and several other professing Christians we’ve warned you about over the years. The list also contains those we must keep an eye on plus movements, organizations and “frauds, phonies and money-grubbing religious quacks” to mark and avoid as per Romans 16:17-18 such as Mike Bickle, Robert Morris and Tony Evans.
