Promised Claims
We can see that divine power,
Has given us everything;
Every day of each hour,
Delightful blessings it brings.

All that we need for godliness,
For our lives in all we pray;
Knowing that God will always bless,
When we always trust and obey.

For this power has been given,
Through our knowledge of the One;
By His own glory in Heaven,
From the Father and through the Son.

It was through His integrity,
He has given through His promise;
And has taken the liberty,
Forgiving in what we confess.

Through His promise we all can share,
The divine nature to escape;
The corruption of sin through prayer,
Desires that constantly rape.

Raping us of mercy and grace,
Robbing of our self-control;
Which blocks us from His sweet embrace,
Letting Satan enter the soul.

Make every effort to add,
Integrity in your endurance;
Resist anything that is bad,
As you boost your perseverance.

For godliness brings affection,
That the Christian will then know love;
Giving you a new direction,
For following Jesus thereof.

If you have type of quality,
Then they will soon be increasing;
Your knowledge takes the liberty,
For praising Christ never ceasing.

If not then you are shortsighted,
You have forgotten being pure;
Your pathway no longer lighted,
As old sins tempt you with a lure.

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.
