Death Brought Forth

Date:

Humble believers should be proud,
Being humble is essential;
For standing out within the crowd,
And in being influential.

Wealthy believers should be proud,
Being rich should make them humble;
Having clout so they are allowed,
To make it known and not grumble.

But the rich whither like flowers,
As the sun rises with the heat;
Drying up in a few hours,
That is soon causing them defeat.

The flowers drop and beauty gone,
For the rich people will soon die;
And be buried by the next dawn,
As others will sorrow and cry.

Blessed are those who will endure,
When tested with tribulations;
Relief through prayer will be the cure,
Giving them new revelations.

Because when they have passed the test,
They will be receiving a crown;
Showing that they have done their best,
Love from God will banish the frown.

When someone is being tempted,
Say not being tempted by God;
The fact is God is exempted,
Trying to make anyone flawed.

All are tempted by desires,
Causing them in going astray;
As satisfaction requires,
Them to start wandering away.

Desire gives them birth to sin,
As sin grows it gives birth to death;
And will shun any discipline,
Continuing till the last breath.

Death will be brought forth by neglect,
Not worshipping the loving One;
And by the Scriptures to reject,
The Gospel written of the Son.

Richard Sherrer is actually retired from the United States Air Force about 14 years ago. He had lived in Korea while in the Air Force in 1972 and 1973. You might be asking yourself what brought him back to Korea. I guess you could say that it was a lot of love here, for the country, the people and especially for a Christian woman that he met on the Internet. She convinced him to return to be with her. So he came originally to teach English in July of 2000. They were married July of 2001. Now turned poet which is subject that is near and dear to his heart. His love for Christ and God is an inspiration to all who read his poetry.
