Tim Ruthven’s first baseball game in Georgia, where he prayed out loud for the home team, opens this talk. During a time of praise he turns the camp toward the return of Christ, which he says is for His entry rather than our exit, and presses everyone to meet God firsthand in a daily watch rather than secondhand through teachers.

Tim Ruthven introduces his wife Marge, who came along because somebody quietly sent the money, then sets Enoch in front of the 1982 Texas Thanksgiving CFO as the pattern for the sessions ahead. He recounts twenty-seven years of believing God was a monster, and the taped crusade in a small Presbyterian church that ended them.

Tim Ruthven argues that God develops the heart before the head, and that theology only turns into faith when it is lived out. He describes a woman collapsing with a stroke near the camp bookstore, and his wife working on her paralyzed side for more than three hours while he sang Scripture over her, and a doctor watched the symptoms reverse.

Tim Ruthven describes for the 1982 Texas Thanksgiving CFO the pigeonholes he used to file people into by their theological vocabulary, and how God erased them.

Tim Ruthven starts at the end of Ruth the way his wife reads the last page of a novel before buying it, and works back to an old betrothal custom in which the bridegroom’s father spends a year building the chamber before the trumpet sounds. Believers, he tells the 1982 Texas Thanksgiving CFO, are not merely redeemed but betrothed.
