Intercommunicate

June 18, 2017 by Richard Newton Sherrer Leave a Comment

The Lord has filled me with joy,
You showed interest in me;
Because no one can destroy,
The salvation we see.

I showed but you had no chance,
For showing any passion;
Not saying need to advance,
In a spiritual fashion.

I have learned to be content,
Whatever the position;
And enduring the torment,
Nearing the opposition.

I have lived as rich and poor,
And learning how to adapt;
While living at the core,
Not feeling as being trapped.

I learned the secret to live,
With too little and too much;
But knowing God will forgive,
Who will give His gentle touch.

I can do through Jesus Christ,
Everything through His strength;
Defy what makes me enticed,
Persevering any length.

You are the one that would share,
Tribulations and trials;
Showing how much you do care,
Of immoral lifestyles.

You gave me what I needed,
And received what I gave you;
So that we have succeeded,
In the Gospel that is true.

I do not look for a gift,
Rather looking to increase;
Inspired as to uplift,
Keeping mind and heart at peace.

Communicating a scent,
Having a soothing fragrance;
To God when we repent,
Shining glory of flagrance.

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.

This piece was adapted from Russell Moore’s newsletter. Subscribe here. My family is from one of the most hurricane-prone places in the United States—our hometown was virtually wiped from the map by Hurricane Katrina. Because of this, we spend hurricane season tracking each tropical depression with dread and then, often, relief, when the storm moves somewhere out […]

Gen Z Protestants don’t want to be known for their faith. Instead, they want their talents, interests, hobbies, and education levels to be the ways they make a name for themselves.
