He was one of the early directors of BIMI Missions based out of Chattanooga and (I think) affiliated with Tennessee Temple. He was with them for many years. Most of the missionaries that the Independents produced in the sixties and seventies were affiliates of BIMI. I knew him through my church...

I liked Don. He wasn't "dynamic" like a lot of those guys tried to be in the seventies. He was faithful and true to the end. That's a God honoring legacy.

Jo, maybe we are all sad in some ways. I guess that's life. I said it in a previous post, but of all of Dr. Evans attributes, I thought congregational song leading was his strongest. I remember one of my close friends in college told me back then "he's the best song leader I've ever heard." I...

Do you know approximately what year Dr. Evans stepped down from an on-campus role at the college? Was it before or after the Schaap firing?

Since this is the Hyles Anderson forum, I'm actually very surprised that there has not been more reaction to the death of Dr. Evans, who some deemed as "Mr. Hyles Anderson." I'm not sure all that it means. I did watch most of the live stream of his memorial service and it struck me that what...

I actually sort of like John Maxwell. I heard him speak at a church about a dozen years ago and he's very engaging. But I wonder if he can't decide whether he's a preacher or a business consultant or a motivational speaker.

As much of a big deal that we thought Jack Hyles was fifty years ago, I believe the truth is that you could stand outside the turnstiles of the stadium and ask one simple question as they walked in -- "Does the name Jack Hyles mean anything to you?" -- and less than a hundred would answer in the...

I will always remember him most as a song leader. He was very good at that. Today, he is in the Pearly White City.

Becky Hyles Smith, the oldest of Jack Hyles' four children, died yesterday. It was one month to the day after her husband, Tim Smith, died. They were living in Oklahoma, where she had developed dementia. She was 74. https://www.wattsfuneralhome.com/obituaries/becky-smith

That is true Sherry. I'm not sure that I understand God's "justice" today, but I believe that He is just.

I don't know, but a bunch of us did it. Somewhere in my archives, I have a Scofield Bible signed by Jack Hyles, Lee Roberson, Jerry Falwell, Curtis Hutson and a few others.

I'm not sure of the child's birthdate, but she did, in fact, bear a child by the name of Jack. I'll be honest, I didn't think much of it at the time, but today it seems bizarre. The Mitchells also had a son that they named Jack. According to their website, he is currently the Executive Vice...

I've never seen this. It may be that Jennie Nischick was the first person to make him believe that his "philosophies" were marketable. And that is all that is contained in that book if my memory serves me correctly. Given the events that were to come afterward, it is interesting.

I'll probably get criticized for this, because I concede that some of what I am about to write is conjecture or second hand information. But it is my understanding that the Hyles Publication assets did comprise a large portion of what Jack Hyles left behind in death. I believe some legal issues...

I think the way people make up their minds to leave a congregation is most often a progression of issues that finally inform the member that he/she is in the wrong congregation. Perhaps if it were only one doctrinal issue, someone might request a meeting with the pastor or other church leader...
