Series: Texas CFO 1959

Messages spoken at the Texas CFO 1959.

Glenn Harding argues to the 1959 Texas CFO that living faith means testing what Christ commanded until you break through a barrier of resistance into real power, borrowing the image from a pilot passing the speed of sound. He notes that water takes far more heat to cross from boiling into steam than it takes to reach boiling at all.

Ruth Robison tells how her Richmond prayer group moved its three-hour Easter service to Easter Monday rather than Good Friday. Fifty people went into small groups to study the appearances of Jesus after the resurrection, and nobody wanted to go home at ten o’clock. She was opening the week at the Texas CFO in 1959.

Closing a week at the Texas CFO in 1959, Ruth Robison tells the story of an artist. He studied an old man’s compassion, a child’s brightness, and a young person’s expectancy before he dared to paint the eyes of Jesus. Christ has no other eyes in the world today, she tells campers, than theirs.
