Community Building

Date:

I am a prisoner of Christ,
Certainly you have heard by now;
Keeping me from being enticed,
That is a mystery of how.

I have responsibility,
Of bringing kindness unto you;
Of any immorality,
That by chance you possibly do.

You have heard that He had let me know,
This mystery revelation;
Revealing it to you to show,
The highway to your salvation.

As you read you will understand,
About the mystery of Christ;
And just what it will all demand,
From Him becoming sacrificed.

For in the past this was not known,
Like the people started to know;
Discontented as you hear them groan,
A fast pace world God moves too slow.

But the Holy Spirit revealed,
To His apostles and prophets;
About the Good News that was sealed,
Is holding the winning tickets.

This mystery is the Gospel,
For all those that are not Jewish;
Inheritance for all people,
All in the Lord that do cherish.

They belong to the same and share,
As promise through Jesus Christ made;
Committed confessions in prayer,
Anything God would have forbade.

I am a servant of Good News,
For building a community;
For any people who did choose,
Jesus to be in unity.

I am the least of all people,
Yet, God showed me kindness given;
Teaching others of the Gospel,
The chance of going to Heaven.

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.
