Christ-Centered or Man-Centered

Date:

As most people who do know,
What it means to fear the Lord;
Are aware where they will go,
If He is loved and adored.

We try to persuade others,
Since God does know what we are;
Making sisters and brothers,
After we cleanse any scar.

We are not trying to show,
Our qualifications;
For God already does know,
Our certifications.

But I am giving to you,
A chance for building your pride;
Unto the God that is true,
You should honor and abide.

If I am acting crazy,
It is because of the Lord;
For I cannot be lazy,
If being in one accord.

If I appear to be sane,
It is all because of you;
Since you are feeling the pain,
His suffering that is true.

The love of Christ always guides,
I am convinced to that fact;
Because of faith that abides,
His Spirit will be exact.

Because of one man that died,
Letting all of us to live;
And it cannot be denied,
If confessed God will forgive.

But no longer self-centered,
Your life is centered on Christ;
Heaven cannot be entered,
If you are not sacrificed.

From now on we do not think,
From a human point of view;
Because it will make you sink,
Another fate that is due.

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.
