Be Instant

Date:

I solemnly call on you,
In the presence of the Lord;
Will be judging what is true,
Let His Word not be ignored.

For God is going to judge,
Those who are dead and living;
The Lord never holds a grudge,
Impartial and forgiving.

I do this for Christ returns,
To come back and rule the earth;
That will be when each one learns,
What each one is truly worth.

Be ready to spread the Word,
Whether or not the right time;
Ensuring the truth as heard,
About the facts of their crime.

Point out faults and warn people,
Encourage them as you teach;
Endure to tell the Gospel,
As you expand your outreach.

A time will come they dismiss,
The precise truth that is taught;
When they feel the deadly kiss,
As their body starts to rot.

They follow their desires,
Living the life of leisure;
Getting what it requires,
Even if it means seizure.

People are being uncouth,
Heeding to myths and fake news;
Turning away from the truth,
For leftist personal views.

But you must keep a clear head,
As you endure suffering;
As you concentrate instead,
On comfort with buffering.

Work as a missionary,
Devote yourself on the Word;
Leave not from the contrary,
Clarify what seems absurd.

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.
