To: The Barbarians

Brothers,

Keep faithful to the word.

Love Christ.

Know one another deeply.

Give yourself away.

We are placed here in this time to fight the good fight and to hold up the sword of our Father. We are called to reach down into the stream and choose the smoothest of stones and to build the swiftest of slings.

We are to be men who take delight in sparing our enemies and in turn showing them the strength of our hearts. We have to show them in turn the love that we received when we were lying face down in the ditch. It is not pity, it is Jesus.

Let us place on the armor of the heavens daily so that the battle lines might advance in favor of the kingdom. Let us do this with absolute urgency. In doing so we are growing ever so close to the return of the King.

Stand strong for those who cannot.
Hold up the fallen.
Speak with brilliance for the mute.
Listen with intensity for the deaf.
Love those whose lives have never felt it.
Raise the crippled.
Be a brother to he whom has no family.
Be a father to the lost child.
Be a rock for she whom the Lord has chosen for you.
Do your work with great vigor.
Reap what you have sown in due time.
Eat, drink and be glad in the sight of the lord.
Enjoy with great compassion the provision of the Lord.

Do these things with great intensity, for our time is short. Men advance daily with great desire unto the gates of the Kingdom. So let us not waiver here with our time and efforts.

We are warriors.
We are poets.
We are leaders.
We are workers.
We are slaves.

Live in this and then die in this and then live in this again.

This is a call to arms. Brothers in arms. Let us stand our posts and sound the trumpet of salvation together. Amen, amen, amen.
