I remember him. He had a great tenor voice. RIP

His life is undoubtedly a tragedy. However, I agree with you that those of us so blessed by the grace of God understand that ALL of us, like sheep have gone astray and bought shame and reproach on the cause of Christ. The Apostle Paul called himself 'the chief of sinners." It is God and God...

My neighborhood throws a big block party tonight. We do it every Halloween. It's an extremely safe neighborhood and the kids still go Trick or Treating door to door with their costumes on. I will see princesses, pirates and all sorts of garb when the sun goes down this evening. I may even put on...

What about it? You've set forth that it was accepted. So be it.

This is the very heart of laws defining what is commonly referred to as "statutory rape." In fact, it does not matter if it were the minor who "coerces or pressures" the adult into a relationship -- which has occurred. It's "rape" by the adult as set forth by statute. The circumstances, i.e...

I heard Joe Combs say that it had been weeks since he had sinned. The import being (so he said) that while we aren't sinless, it shouldn't be an every day thing, as it is with me and later we found out, as it was with him.

Very good analysis. True to (my) form, I'm about a decade late to this party, but after reading some recurring themes from multiple posts in this forum, I offer the following: 1. I always thought the "counseling" aspects of the Hyles ministry were very suspect. He made much of how many hours a...

I think children can be saved at a very young age and if they are, they should be baptized. But here's the other side of that issue and it's my testimony. When I was eight or nine years old, I walked an aisle at church at the invitation and made a "profession of faith." A few weeks later I got...

Neither do I. Retrospectively, the IFB movement that I knew in the seventies and early eighties, wasn't nearly as big a deal as we thought. I mean 99% of Americans today would have no idea who Jack Hyles was, or what an Independent Baptist was.

I realize that this is small stuff, but it stuck with me the past few years. My best friend heard of the "Red Barn" ministry of Dave Hyles and sent a donation of $100 to Dave Baker's Church, who was acting as a repository for donations. The church cashed the check. My friend called the church...

Think of the most provocative manner of dress or behavior that a woman could conduct herself with a minister. There is still no excuse for that minister to engage with her in a sinful manner. In fact, THAT'S precisely supposed to set a real minister apart from others. It's the RESISTING of...

I don't know anything about that. I don't even remember pickles. But it struck me a few minutes ago how very low my expectations were for something to eat when I was a teen, as opposed to today. I guess I've gotten spoiled. I thought I was fed pretty well out of the HAC cafeteria back in the...

My state foes My state does not register firearms, even to this day.

Good question on the married student’s house. I honestly don’t know. But I do recall going inside another married student’s house, so I guess I should be punished 😁

It was a legal, private transaction between two adults. I didn't do anything wrong.

If I'm not mistaken, Eddie Paul pastors a church in Missouri. You can find him on Youtube.

It was about 1980, so I was over 21 years old. I was working in a plant in East Chicago and I had a revolver that I wanted to sell to a co-worker. We met in the parking lot and the guy examined it and decided he wanted to buy it. While making the transaction, an anonymous classmate of mine who...

I suppose it's the great American staple, but the only thing that I can remember from a HAC sack lunch was pb&j sandwiches. And in my memory, they were pretty good! Thanks to the young ladies who made them!

Sound the Battle Cry

I only heard Dr. Rice preach in the last five years of his life. He was almost completely deaf and even though he wore hearing aids, couldn't really hear what he was saying. That was why it was hard to follow him.
