Bert Kerley asks whether “God is love” can still be true in the face of tragedy. He recalls a Welsh mining disaster that killed sixty schoolchildren, and a young pianist who said she thought of everyone who loved her as she played. He gave this talk on trusting that love has the final word to the Northern California CFO in 1982.
Bert Kerley recounts a lunch appointment canceled during the Northern California CFO in 1982. It led him, through what he calls “no such things as chance,” to a chance meeting with Hope Peale, a relative of Norman Vincent Peale. He then turns to teach that Christ dwells within every believer.
Frank Almstead traces his struggle to keep the power of prayer alive. He begins at a Michigan lakefront, where an all night vigil turned around a group of student leaders. He ends with a boy given up for dead who recovered after a prayer group interceded for him by name. He gave this talk to the Northern California CFO in 1951.
Hannah Hurnard describes what she calls the holy spells of Jesus, by which he made harm powerless by befriending it in thought and opened any self-made hell by sharing in it. She reads his sayings from the cross as opening the hell of each person present at the Northern California CFO in 1960.
Hannah Hurnard argues before the 1960 Northern California CFO that every healing Jesus performed cost both him and the sufferer, because he prescribed a change of character along with the cure. She works through Peter’s mother-in-law, the man with the withered arm and blind Bartimaeus.
Hannah Hurnard catalogues for the 1960 Northern California CFO how each Beatitude keeps a particular organ in what she calls holy health, noting that in Hebrew each of the ten commandments names a part of the body. She defers the question of healing itself to the following day.
