A Great Sacrifice

Date:

Grace and peace unto you,
From God our Father;
Because of Christ we knew,
Who is our Brother.

In order to be free,
From a world of evil;
Christ has helped us to see,
The work of the devil.

Christ took the punishment,
For all of our sin;
And gave us nourishment,
For cleansing us within.

The Father desired,
To give another chance;
So that we acquired,
A method to advance.

Glory belongs to God,
And Father forever;
To give honor and laud,
Bonds that will not sever.

I am surprised and sick,
With such an attitude;
You desert Christ so quick,
And audaciously rude.

He called in His kindness,
To follow the Gospel;
So you be a witness,
Preaching to the people.

What some others may preach,
Will only confuse you;
For Satan loves to teach,
Deceptive points of view.

So they want to distort,
The Good News about Christ;
So they can then extort,
How darkness is enticed.

If you listen to them,
Things will not go too well;
Because God will condemn,
That you go straight to hell.

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.
