A Multiplied Love

We have seen and testified,
That the Father sent His Son;
Also being crucified,
For a victory be won.

God lives in those who declare,
Christ as Savior of the world;
And we are able to share,
The Good News that unfurled.

Jesus is the Son of God,
And you are living within Him;
If you give Him honor and laud,
He will give spiritual vim.

We have known also believed,
God loves us since He is love;
Through salvation we received,
From our Lord up above.

For His love has reached its goal,
So we look with confidence;
His Spirit cleansed our soul,
And has been the best defense.

The Day of Judgment is near,
In this place where we sojourn;
Continuing to revere,
The Father and His first Born.

While we are in this place,
We must be always like Him;
Regarding to His embrace,
To be bright rather than dim.

No fear exists in His love,
Perfect love gets rid of fear;
He embraces from above,
Knowing He is always near.

For fear involves punishment,
Since love demands discipline;
It demands admonishment,
While corrupted with sin.

We love since God loves us first,
Allowing rest from labor;
Which satisfies our thirst,
As we love our neighbor.

About Richard Newton Sherrer

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.

Evangelicals Struggle to Preach Life in the Top Country for Assisted Death October 4, 2024
Canadian Christians increasingly find their pro-life values in conflict with their nation’s rapid acceptance of medical assistance in dying (MAID). Many say churches could be a refuge in Canada’s pro-MAID culture, reminding people of human dignity and providing community supports that can help them resist the lure of MAID. But chances are, most Canadian Christians […]

Modern ‘Technoculture’ Makes the World Feel Unnaturally Godless October 4, 2024
In his 1996 novel, In the Beauty of the Lilies, John Updike has a fictional Reformed Presbyterian minister feel his faith abandon him like an exhale, leaving his “habitual mental contortions decisively relaxed.” For this minister, the experience was one of relief, “an immense strain of justification” lifted “at a blow.” Unbelief, in this sense, […]
