Brothers,

I enjoy encountering the searing-hot coals inside of your hearts. Thank you each for the gift that it is to encounter Life in these true ways.

I long to be exposed before the cross for the fraud that I am. That is truly my joy, to be completely bear before Him. I'm tempted even as I write this to make it sound good so that you will think that I am spiritual or have a good heart or something. I rebuke that and simply invite us, as brothers, to come before the throne entirely. I'm asking today for Truth at whatever cost: my pride, my goals, my comfort, my family. There are no laurels to rest on and that is truly where I want to live my life: completely bare before the cross.

No, I don't mean bare like one might be if he was, say, sitting around with a bunch of dudes near a fire in the woods sipping brews with no one around for miles... although I can imagine how excited you just got, Wheels.

My Father has been getting up underneath me lately through ps 37, convicting me and showing me the face of Glory himself. I offer it to each of you in hopes that it can and will do the same for you.

Sincerely,

Brother Bettwy
