Of all the Christmas gifts I’ve ever received, one memory is treasured above all others. I was thirteen years old, and my older brother proudly presented me with his gift. It was a large, heavy, beautifully wrapped box. I eagerly tore into it, only to find another, and inside that box was another, and another. After opening about 15 boxes, one inside of another, I arrived at the next obstacle to my gift. My brother had sealed my gift with ten pounds of plaster of Paris. He smiled and handed me a hammer. I pounded away for the next 20 minutes or so until I arrived at his other barriers. The next boxes were sealed with pounds of wax, layers of duct tape, masking tape, scotch tape, and aluminum foil. It seemed like hours passed before I finally arrived at my prized possession. Read more »

Seconds seemed to last an eternity as I held his little body in my arms and watched as he turned blue. My nephew was choking, and I didn’t know what to do. I was just a teenager, and this was one of my first experiences with babysitting. I tried slapping him on the back between his shoulder blades, I tried turning him upside down, and I even tried to give him water to drink. All of my efforts were very wrong and could have caused further damage. Read more »

Maturity is the ability to do a job—whether you are supervised or not; finish a job once it is started; carry money without even spending it, and be able to bear an injustice without wanting to get even. Read more »

I grew up in the concrete jungle of Chicago with all of the stereotypical challenges of life in the big city. Of course, there were many great things about growing up in the city, but also there were fights, loud music, gangs, and trouble that was a normal way of life. Because there were many dangers growing up in the city, it seemed as though I was always looking over my shoulder for any problems that could arise. It is very easy to become distrustful when you are from a big city. Read more »

“A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:” Proverbs 1:5 The harsh realities of going to college are seldom discussed, especially among those who are starting their college careers with youthful enthusiasm, excitement, and vigor. Hyles- Anderson College not only faces those realities, but works to meet them head on. Read more »

Mark 16:17-18 “And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.” These words did not mean much to me until my family and I surrendered to go to the mission field in 1990 while I was attending Hyles-Anderson College, but they began to mean more as our family started on the adventure of following God’s will.

Nestled in the Caribbean, about 160 miles south of Florida, is the beautiful island of Jamaica. When most people think of Jamaica, no doubt, visions of sandy beaches and resort tourist areas fill the imagination. There is much more to Jamaica than vacation paradise; there are over 2.7 million people who call Jamaica their home. For them, life in Jamaica is not a vacation but, in many cases, daily survival. The people of Jamaica are no different than any other people; they need the Gospel of Jesus Christ if they are to escape the torments of hell. Read more »

We’ve all heard about it, been warned about it, been preached to about it, but how do we deal with it. A pressure is a force that is placed upon us by our friends to behave a certain way. Everyone must face this pressure no matter what age we are. Adults sometimes call it politics. Read more »

Over the years Hyles-Anderson College has always looked for ways to spread the Gospel to those who have not yet been reached for Christ. On an occasion or two, someone has asked, “Why does Hyles-Anderson College have a Spanish program?” Read more »
