Mind the Same

Date:

I encourage all of you,
In the name of our Lord;
To agree remaining true,
And being in one accord.

I want you as united,
Having an understanding;
For becoming excited,
What the Lord is commanding.

Some people have made it clear,
That you have been quarreling;
If or not the end is near,
Causing an intense haggling.

Maybe you might follow me,
Instead of following Christ;
You need the insight to see,
Please do not become enticed.

I was not crucified for you,
And not baptized in my name;
The way that you must pursue,
In the Word of Christ proclaim.

I baptized not anyone,
For I have not been ordained;
Just when baptized through the Son,
By His Spirit we have gained.

I was not sent to baptize,
Rather to spread the Good News;
For making many realize,
Christ was sent for us to choose.

To choose between life or death,
Without any argument;
Direction after last breath,
A paradise or lament.

For the meaning of the cross,
May be losing its intent;
If Christ would suffer a loss,
No longer holding as meant.

God would destroy the wisdom,
He would reject all the wise;
Blocking them from His Kingdom,
As well as those who despise.

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.
