Carnal Knowledge

Date:

Those who believe in Jesus Christ,
God can never try to condemn;
Because they cannot be enticed,
By the desires within them.

Standards of the Holy Spirit,
Have set you free of sin and death;
Because of what you inherit,
That will be beyond your last breath.

It is impossible to do,
As to what His standards demand;
Because of weaknesses in you,
Following every command.

But God sent His very own Son,
With human nature as sinners;
So that our debt would be done,
And then we could all be winners.

God condemns the immoral ways,
Who lives not by corrupt nature;
Anyone who no longer strays,
Will then become a new creature.

If you live by corrupt nature,
You will then have that attitude;
Conformed to that legislature,
Allowing yourself to act rude.

But by the spiritual nature,
You will act more like Jesus Christ;
While having a bright future,
Willingly to be sacrificed.

The corrupt nature leads to death,
Because of the state of the mood;
As life will end after last breath,
For the corrupted attitude.

But the spiritual nature,
Will lead to a new life and peace;
A brand new life that will feature,
Euphoria that will not cease.

His Holy Spirit lives in you,
Though you are under control;
As long as you will remain true,
He will protect your very soul.

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.
