Series: Kentucky CFO 1966

Mary Webster tells the Kentucky CFO in 1966 of a carpenter who quietly cut corners while building a rich man’s house. At the end he learned that the house was being built for himself all along. She applies the same warning to the character believers build day by day.

Mary Webster tells of a lonely man in an institution who fed a wild cat from his hand, since the people around him would not show him love. She then turns the same question on her own church and on a neighbor everyone avoided. She was speaking at the Kentucky CFO in 1966.

Mary Webster tells of a woman who shut herself away to read the whole Bible in ten days. The woman came out saying, “I saw what I saw and I knew what I knew.” Mary Webster then turns to small things, an acorn, a burning bush, a child’s bedtime prayer, as places to meet God, in this talk to the 1966 Kentucky CFO.

Mary Webster opens with Jesus’ parable of three men who make excuses to skip a great supper. She ties their excuses about land, oxen, and marriage to whatever keeps believers from the kingdom. Preaching to the Kentucky CFO in 1966, she then describes giving away her own testimony, money, and time rather than holding onto them. She closes with the example of Moses.
