Always for Everything

December 7, 2015 by Richard Newton Sherrer Leave a Comment

Before you lived in the dark,
But now you live in the light;
God guides you where you embark,
As you stay within His sight.

Live as children of the light,
Light produces all that is good;
Always do things that are right,
Honoring Him as you should.

God will give His approval,
As long as you remain true;
Along with sin removal,
Giving insight to construe.

Determine what pleases God,
Avoid the darkness pleasures;
They cause you to become flawed,
Hoarding immoral treasures.

Expose them for what they are,
Showing of what they are worth;
And how they will make a scar,
That will block from your rebirth.

It is shameful to gossip,
Of another in secret;
It is poison on your lip,
That later you will regret.

Light exposes true character,
All that is seen and unseen;
The Lord is your instructor,
All that is now and has been.

So wake up all you sleepers,
And rise up out of your bed;
Being spiritual leapers,
Before you find yourself dead.

Let Jesus Christ within you,
Always for everything;
Filled with the Spirit and true,
To the Lord all He will bring.

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, […]
