Just think, Sherry...if you hadn't gone to HAC all those years ago, you might still be up in Michigan freezing your caboose off! ;)

Booger McFarland is a great American :ROFLMAO:

That's an easy question for me because I wasn't going into full time Christian service. So, no. I had to start all over again when I graduated from HAC in 1981 and it delayed my professional progress. I was 17 years old when I made the decision to go to HAC. Once there, I was not going to quit...

He was also on Revenge of the Nerds

Once you get past the separation issue, you must admit that Billy Graham preached a sound gospel and probably did so to more people than anyone in the 20th century. Accordingly he may have been used to bring more souls to Christ than anyone of his time. Of course, fifty years ago I heard all...

I rather think that it is mostly reflections on a bygone era. Today there is context of the elapsed time that was not at hand when we experienced it. BTW, I also left there in 1981 after graduating. The reality of what remains is a testament to the work that once stood. Interpret that how the...

I do, too. It's a long story that I can't write, but I knew one guy in particular who swore his cough was real and not an imitation of Bro. Hyles. He was actually quite comical in his own way. The dude really felt his "anointing." He's a guy with a common name that I have tried unsuccessfully...

This is a subject I've seen posted several times. I made an observation that hard numbers from the church or college were always hard to get. I'm not sure why, but others have agreed with me. However, I came across a page in the 1983 yearbook, wherein it is stated that in 1982 2,272 students...

I just came across a page from the 1983 yearbook wherein the college claimed to have had 2,272 students in 1982. FWIW.

Jo is correct, it was an event to get teenagers to come out and then have a preaching service at the end. Unlike some haunted houses I've seen, I'm pretty certain that it was only for one night. Btw, Jo, the snakes were behind glass!

You would have to have been there in the seventies. Bro. Hyles told a lot of stories about how his life was threatened because he and the church were the last hope to save America from communists and the godless spirits of the world. I remember one story in particular that he told he was praying...

Of course! I knew Danny, but I'm not sure if you and I ever met. I really liked Danny. I believe I met him my freshman year. Super guy!

Memory: In the Fall of 1976 I helped Dave Hyles with a haunted house for Halloween at the old youth center. I think it had been a Catholic church once. We had the strobe lights, live rodents and reptiles, chainsaws, live performers, etc. I thought it was the grandest production I had ever seen...

Booger?

My two cents: Donald Trump is not someone who I would want my kids to emulate in many ways. I do not believe that he is saved and probably doesn't have a firm grasp of the gospel. That's shameful to those who have had an opportunity to share the same with him. That said, I agree with MANY of...

As far as I'm concerned any IFB could have bought anything from John MacArthur or RC Sproul and not be doctrinally very off base in anything. Instead, more bought garbage from people like Peter Ruckman and adopted it as heaven sent.

While I thought Mrs. Evans was a pretty sharp person, I remember taking that class in the old dining hall and pretty much getting nothing from it. Looking back on those days, I'm not sure if Marlene was that great. She was very different and very confident for the ladies her age that I had been...

It is reported that HAC's media program includes some IT certifications that are widely accepted and that they also have an accredited EMT certification program. Good for them.

I believe that they did it on any fifth Sunday of a month at the close of the Sunday evening service, which means a couple of times a year. A lot of Baptist churches did it then. I'm not sure why. I still remember how Bro. Hyles would take a photo of his father out of his wallet and illustrate...

What did he do occupationally? Was he in ministry? Even there, it would seem a little unusual for a guy to go from faculty, even speaking in chapel, to completely out of ministerial work (unless there was something scandalous). I thought he was a little odd and didn't quite fit in that school...
