Faith by What We Do

Date:

So what good would it do,
In having faith as claimed;
But proves nothing to you,
Without good things proclaimed.

Can this kind of faith save,
For as a believer;
Keeping you from the grave,
Being a receiver.

Whether woman or man,
Needing clothing or food;
God will tell you a plan,
Depending on your mood.

You must stay warm and eat,
Provide physical needs;
Having shoes on your feet,
Grain growing from your seeds.

Faith by itself is dead,
If not doing good things;
More than what maybe said,
Results in what it brings.

Show me faith in good things,
And I show what is good;
For your faith as it clings,
Will shine bright as it should.

You believe in one God,
Demons tremble with fear;
But they will never laud,
Be truthful or sincere.

Faith by self is useless,
If not showing results;
Leaving others clueless,
Causing to throw insults.

You see others receive,
The approval from God;
Not just what they believe,
But to honor and laud.

If bodies do not breathe,
The faith will also die;
Without good works to weave,
Blessings God would deny.

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.
