Americans owe a debt of gratitude which cannot be expressed in words to Pastor Jack Hyles. My website ministry wouldn't be here if it weren't for Dr. Hyles' Godly influence on my life, who taught me to uncompromisingly stand for truth.

Brother Hyles stood preaching each week behind a specially-made bulletproof pulpit at First Baptist Church of Hammond, because of multiple threats made upon his life for preaching the truth, including being shot at while jogging. A two-inch-thick bulletproof plastic shield was installed in the balcony at First Baptist Church, to prevent a shooter from making an attempt on Pastor Hyle's life while preaching. How many preachers need their own security team to protect them 24 hours a day, sitting round-the-clock in a squad car in front of the pastor's home 365 days a year? The average lackadaisical pastor has nothing to fear, because he doesn't take a stand for nor against anything. Brother Hyles STOOD faithfully for God, preaching THE TRUTH of the Word of God!!!
