“My opinion is I wish you would move forward from Jack Hyles and those who probably 75% of struggling Christians today have never heard of and help us with those today on tv and the circuit who preach a false gospel.”
A number of preachers have expressed to me the same thing in various ways.
I explained to this man that I have dealt with hundreds of men and heresies facing the churches and that“struggling Christians” need help with, and I have put most of that material online for free distribution.
I further explained that though Jack Hyles is dead, his influence among fundamental Baptist churches is vast.
We have documented this in the free eBook The Hyles Effect: A Spreading Blight, www.wayoflife.org.
The book is a warning about a model of ministry that has spread very far. Hyles set the pattern for errors that remain rampant.
The book is a positive call to build biblical churches.
We desire to challenge preachers not to be man followers and man pleasers, to be Christ-centered rather than man-centered, to walk in the fear of God rather than the fear of man, to be serious Bible students and Bereans, to be Bible-bound rather than tradition-bound, to be passionate for Christ and Truth, and to reject pragmatism: whether it be contemporary church growth pragmatism or emerging pragmatism or Reformed pragmatism or fundamental Baptist pragmatism.
The book is a warning about the following:
- Quick Prayerism
- Promotionalism
- Numbers-ism
- The abuse of pastoral authority
- Blind loyalty to man
- Cover-up and deception and rampant immorality
- Neglect of church discipline
- The unrepentance heresy (characterized by the neglect of repentance or the re-definition of biblical repentance)
