I really don't know how/when the Bible signing tradition began, but by the time I got interested in the early seventies, after the sermon and subsequent alter call, there would be lines of people waiting to get their Bible signed and maybe shake hands and actually get to speak directly to the...

My father, who died in 2019, did that for decades.

I admit that in the seventies I did it. I may have been a step below worship of those men, but I wanted a memento of sorts. Somewhere in my archives there is a Scofield Bible with the signatures of Jack Hyles, John Rice, Lee Roberson, Jerry Falwell, Curtis Hutson and a few others of whom I am...

Dr. Rice died in 1980, long before Hyles went KJVO. Dr. Rice was not of that persuasion.

I believe there were three watershed mistakes he made: How he managed his son. Just disastrous. How he managed his own life after he went to Hammond The secrets and sin he tried to conceal. Starting a college. It changed everything and not for the good.

I remember hearing him in the seventies. I thought he was a very intelligent, mean spirited nut. Filthy.

And if I'm not mistaken, he only adopted that position in the last 15 years of his life. Some speculate a reason for that, but I am unsure about it.

Did you go to HAC/FBC? What years?

I realize that there are many opinions about Jack Hyles put forth on this board. Today marks the 25th anniversary of his death. He left an indelible mark on my life. I mean, I'm talking about him today, 45 years after I left the place. So, there's that. I wish I hadn't gone to HAC. I likely...

I remember him from my time at HAC (76-81). He was a good guy.

I don't believe I knew that. I haven't seen a Sword of the Lord in many years.

I remember the day Dr. Rice died. If my memory serves me well (which is doubtful) I believe it was December 1980, so 45 years ago. I wonder how he would feel about the Sword if he returned to earth today?

As the decades moved on since I last knew George Godfrey, I began to believe he was a little off kilter. That said, I believe he was a true believer who wanted to serve the Lord. I admire that.

Things have been very quiet of this board for some time, but I hope that everyone is healthy and that you have a wonderful holiday season as we take time to be thankful for the coming of the Savior to earth. I wish He would return today! Merry Christmas to all!

Let's not be cute. Here is how they all voted on the repeal. Alexander (R-TN), Yea Baldwin (D-WI), Nay Barrasso (R-WY), Yea Bennet (D-CO), Nay Blumenthal (D-CT), Nay Blunt (R-MO), Yea Booker (D-NJ), Nay Boozman (R-AR), Yea Brown (D-OH), Nay Burr (R-NC), Yea Cantwell (D-WA), Nay Capito (R-WV)...

When you consider that a prominent pastor in Hammond, IN did over a decade in federal lockup for consorting with a 16 year-old, it appears the guy got off light.

The naming of certain legislation has become laughable to the point that whatever it is named you can believe it is the opposite...like the Inflation Reduction Act or the Affordable Healthcare Act. It's just a name to make garbage sound so much more palatable to the low information public.

I guess the best parts of life are those when your heart is so momentarily happy that you think you can't control what wells from within. One of those for me was when on January 8, 2018, Tua Tagovailoa hit on a 43 yard td pass to Davanta Smith to win a national championship in overtime. I...

That was the rule fifty years ago, as well. I did my year on the blind bus. It was probably the most rewarding aspect of my time there. Did the rule change, requiring bus ministry the entire time in the college? I did not go into the ministry after leaving HAC. While we were there, we were...

A lot has changed in the past decades. I think some of it, in this respect, for the good.
