Encouragement

January 28, 2017 by Richard Newton Sherrer Leave a Comment

Think on how to encourage,
Each other in showing love;
Always try to discourage,
All the bad things thereof.

Think of the wonderful things,
All of the good things to do;
The pleasure in which it brings,
For grace from God fall on you.

We should not stop gathering,
Together with believers;
Rather continue to bring,
Methods to be achievers.

Encourage them even more,
While waiting for the day;
The Lord enters through the door,
For taking us all away.

If we just keep on sinning,
After we have learned the truth;
There is no chance of winning,
As we will remain uncouth.

No sacrifice takes away,
Any sin after we heard;
We ignore and disobey,
The warnings within the Word.

All that is left is to wait,
For terrifying judgment;
A raging fire for fate,
Causing eternal torment.

If a man rejects the Law,
He dies without compassion;
For not confessing the flaw,
Rather lies what is spoken.

What do you think of a guy,
Who is not showing respect;
Because he will always lie,
Of something he will neglect.

Only God will have the right,
To rake revenge and pay back;
He promises He will smite,
His judgment will have no slack.

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, […]
