Evelyn Carter Spencer contrasts the written word with the “rhema,” God’s spoken word for the moment. She recalls waiting for hers before she prayed at the bedside of a comatose Jewish boy. Moses, she notes, tended sheep for forty years after mistaking a need for a call. The talk comes from the Colorado Summer CFO in 1978.
Evelyn Carter Spencer continues a morning session at the Colorado Summer CFO in 1978 by unpacking Colossians 3. She tells campers to let the peace of Christ settle every question like an umpire. God’s habit of exposing hidden faults, she says, is like a poker player reading your hold card, the one card no one else can see. She adds a kitchen picture of a slow-simmering stew whose scum must be skimmed before more can be added, likening it to how God works on a life over time.
Evelyn Carter Spencer is reunited at the Colorado Summer CFO in 1978 with her longtime friend Norman Renshaw and his wife Elsie. She compares an unearned gift to a boy who asks his mother for bread and gets it back with butter and jelly on it, and she calls that extra “grace.” She preaches from Ephesians on becoming so completely one thing, in mind, will, and emotion, that what a Christian believes finally matches what shows up in daily life.
Norman Renshaw argues that the anger which overturned the money changers’ tables was holy anger rooted in love rather than a lapse from it. He admits to a temper of his own, formed as the youngest of five, in this talk to the Colorado Summer CFO in 1978.

At the Colorado Summer CFO in 1978, Norman Renshaw teaches keeping Christ at the center of an ordinary life, working through Cana, Nicodemus and the woman at the well. Being yoked to Christ, he says, is being the ox that goes along while the other does the work.
