Series: Arizona Grand Canyon CFO 1962

Messages spoken at the 1962 Arizona Camps Farthest Out.

At the 1962 Arizona CFO, Starr Daily answers the four freedoms that Roosevelt and Churchill proclaimed in the war with four of his own from Jesus: loving God with all the mind, heart, will and strength. He also tells how he carried paper ballots down a train club car and watched a drinking man mark one yes to Jesus.

No one can surrender everything at once, but whoever gives all of one thing receives the rest. Starr Daily fills out that claim at the Arizona CFO in 1962. John the Baptist gave his body. A widow gave her last penny. A man serving life in a prison cell that Daily later occupied gave up every trace of resistance.

Bernie Warfield describes a walk through Jackson Prison, where a guard’s doors clicked locked behind the group one by one. He uses it to teach campers at the Arizona CFO in 1962 that crossing into a deeper level of faith closes the way back to where a believer used to stand. He likens that crossing to Israel crossing the Red Sea.

Bernie Warfield tells campers at the 1962 Arizona CFO about a teenage girl whose head injuries from a car crash seem to fade as she quietly prays love toward him during his talk. He then turns his boyhood chore of restuffing a straw mattress into a call to try some “new straw,” a fresh dose of love, under a routine gone stale.
