Dear Bro. Don, Amen, to your article about us as Baptists holding ourselves, including popular and gifted preachers to the Biblical standard of being “without reproach”. Forgive me for asking, but does Jack Hyles fall into the same catagory as Bob Gray? As you well know, there were many rumors flying around about him in the 80’s and 90’s. It would seem that if there were that much smoke, there must have been some fire. Obviously he was a very gifted preacher, but did many look the other way with him? Was his son, Dave Hyles an apple that didn’t fall far from the tree, or was he “without fruit and twice dead”….and did his father ever call out his son and denounce his actions? Thanks for your considerations and seeking to promote godliness in this present age.

Sincerely,
Pastor Don Johnston
