New Man

I am always thanking God,
The Father of our Lord;
So I will honor and laud,
Since He is loved and adored.

I thank God for I have heard,
Of your faith in Jesus Christ;
And of your love in His Word,
Why He had been sacrificed.

You have this because of hope,
That is kept safe in Heaven;
And how through this life you cope,
For the salvation given.

Some time ago you had heard,
Of this hope through the Gospel;
A true message from the Word,
That needs to reach the people.

This Good News is here with you,
And is producing results;
Although others may construe,
Otherwise throwing insults.

Spread it all over the earth,
Spread it as heard since day one;
Because of its priceless worth,
On the Father and the Son.

At that time you came to know,
The kindness of God does mean;
Construed so that you can show,
Faith grows from what is not seen.

You are trustworthy for Christ,
Having love for the Spirit;
No longer getting enticed,
Displayed within your merit.

I can never stop praying,
Through every night and day;
That you keep on obeying,
Never again go astray.

I am asking God to fill,
With the spiritual wisdom;
And the insight to instill,
For the heavenly Kingdom.

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.

Being a Church of Good Repute September 4, 2024
The church desperately needs both good gospel works and good gospel workers for the Good News message. The apostle in his letter to Titus makes a clear connection between faith and practice. Why is this so important? Our faithful obedience to God’s word ensures that “in everything,” we can “adorn the doctrine of God our […]

A group of evangelical broadcasters who hosted Donald Trump at their national conference earlier this year are suing the Internal Revenue Service over the so-called Johnson Amendment, a tax law that bars nonprofits from supporting political candidates.

How to Find Common Ground When You Disagree About the Common Good September 4, 2024
How do Christians live faithfully and as good neighbors in a world we don’t control? In 2020, Tim Keller and I coedited a book titled Uncommon Ground. Our project convened a group of evangelical and evangelical-adjacent friends to reflect—as the subtitle said—on how Christians can live faithfully in a world of difference. Since then, however, I’ve rephrased […]
