V.O. Agan is one of my heroes. I can not think of anyone who showed the love of Christ and was an example of holiness, more than he was. He was a good preacher, but more than just being a good preacher, he lived what he preached! Dr. Agan passed away on March 25, 2006, but his legacy and memory lives on!

With any movement there are individuals who serve as pioneers, receiving notice for how they both blazed the way and set the tone for those who followed. One such leading figure was Glenn Griffith (1894-1976). J. Gordon Melton actually calls the entire Conservative Holiness movement the “Glenn Griffith Movement.” As Wallace Thornton notes, this claim is overstated. Nonetheless, Griffith was an important leader in the formation of the movement, and he clearly typifies its central concerns.
Converted in 1925, Griffith became an evangelist and superintendent in the Church of the Nazarene. He became disenchanted with what he viewed as a slack attitude toward worldliness and a growing spiritual coldness in the church. In 1955 Griffith returned his credentials to the denomination and, following a revival in Nampa, Idaho, issued a call for the formation of a new group: the Bible Missionary Union, later renamed the Bible Missionary Church.
At his separation, Griffith wrote a pamphlet titled Nineteen Reasons Why I Left the Church of the Nazarene. Griffith’s reasons represent the concerns of the Conservative Holiness churches toward the established Holiness denominations. He claimed he saw a cold, dead formalism in the Nazarene churches and a reluctance to preach the law as a prelude to offering the gospel. He charged that many in the Church of the Nazarene stressed loyalty to the church more than loyalty to God and that they favored a seminary-educated ministry over a self-educated ministry. Some charges resembled Fundamentalist positions against liberalism, such as Griffith’s complaint that the church was using the Revised Standard Version of the Bible in some denominational literature. Most of the specifics, however, dealt with the toleration of worldliness—of women wearing the wedding band and other jewelry, cutting their hair, and wearing slacks, for example. Griffith reaffirmed opposition to watching television, participating in Sunday sports, and holding church dinners and said that Church of the Nazarene scorned those who still preached such standards.
Griffith’s stay with the Bible Missionary Church proved brief. He came to believe that any Christian who was a party in a divorce could not remarry. When the Bible Missionary Church reaffirmed its stand that the innocent party could remarry, Griffith left. In 1959 he helped found the Wesleyan Holiness Association of Churches. The Bible Missionary Church remained one of the larger denominations in the Conservative Holiness movement. Griffith’s new group, although much smaller, likewise continued as a force in the movement.

If you have never heard a message by L.B. Hicks you have missed out! I only wish that I would have had the opportunity to hear him preach while he was living. Unfortunately I never had that chance, but I do enjoy hearing recordings of him preach. He was an orator, and a man who preached with fervency.
This message was recorded in 1959 to the best of my knowledge. He preached this message at the Cadle Tabernacle camp meeting in Indianapolis Indiana. This was a huge campmeeting - which unfortunately is no longer in operation.
Click on play to listen to “This is That.” His text was from Acts 2.

Click on the link below to listen H. Robb French preach “Christ Establishes Righteousness” from the text: Genesis 7:1-24. This message was preached on February 5, 1975 at Hobe Sound Bible Church in Hobe Sound Florida.

Rev. H. Robb French, or Uncle Robb as may people knew him, is remembered as a pioneer and founder of FEA ministries in Hobe Sound, FL which has been blessed by God. To a greater degree, though, he is remembered by people all across the holiness movement as an evangelist whose heart was on fire for the Lord.
Born in Denver, Colorado to a preacher/lawyer father, he began his lifetime of preaching and ministry when he was only in his teens. His ever growing zeal to preach the gospel led him to become a general evangelist in the Wesleyan Methodist Church as well as a pastor and church planter. In the 1940’s, he felt the call of God upon his heart to found a center for prayer and revival in Florida. In 1947, as a result of the labors of Brother and Sister French and the Zuchs, the Florida Evangelistic Association was founded. During his lifetime, with the help of other saints, this grew to include Sea Breeze Camp, Hobe Sound Bible College, FEA Missions, Sea Breeze Manor and a Gospel literature ministry. Ever committed to the holiness way, he helped to found the Inter-Church Holiness Association of Churches.
Although H. Robb French is well remembered as a man that has accomplished many things, he will be remembered and honored as a man that loved the Lord.
