Experienced Builder

Date:

You are a building of God,
A skilled and expert builder;
That all the angels applaud,
And once would He bewilder.

I used the gift God gave me,
For laying the foundation;
He gave me insight to see,
How for seeking salvation.

Someone else will build on it,
Each person must be careful;
Having based on their merit,
Continuing to be faithful.

No one can lay another,
Than what already is laid;
For when you help your brother,
You give him spiritual aid.

We build upon Jesus Christ,
A foundation with silver;
Precious stones that has enticed,
And gold that one would favor.

The day will make what each one,
In sight since fire reveals;
The purity of the Son,
That the Book of Life conceals.

The fire will determine,
The kind of work that was done,
Including any vermin,
Showing the sinful burden.

If what someone builds survives,
He will receive a reward;
And his spiritually thrives,
As he is praising the Lord.

If his work has become burned,
He will then suffer the loss;
But will be saved that he earned,
Recovering from the cross.

You are a temple of God,
And His Spirit lives in you;
Any destruction when flawed,
Confession will revalue.

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.
