Pure Spiritual Milk

December 6, 2015 by Richard Newton Sherrer Leave a Comment

Get rid of every kind,
Of evil and deception;
Purify your heart and mind,
From things that cause corruption.

Idle minds tend to wander,
Creating hypocrisy;
Which makes a person slander,
Because of some jealousy.

Desire the Word of God,
Like a baby needing milk;
Heal the scars where you are flawed,
Make them to be smooth as silk.

Start building your foundation,
After tasting what is good;
Then you grow in salvation,
While doing as you should.

You are now coming to Christ,
To whom is the living stone;
No longer become enticed,
By what God does not condone.

A sacred house being built,
Housing the holy priesthood;
And it must be free from guilt,
Of solid granite not wood.

God is laying the chosen,
And the precious cornerstone;
No one righteously frozen,
With sinful iniquities shown.

Only those with faith in Him,
And confessed about their sin;
Will have the spiritual vim,
Be allowed to enter in.

This honor belongs to those,
Who repented and believe;
Known to be those that God chose,
For nourishment they receive.

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.

Against the Culture of Demonization September 12, 2024
I grew up in a small evangelical church in California’s Central Valley where there were more blue collars than white. About 25 families filed into the pews each Sunday; they were loving, generous, and thoughtful. We camped the Sierra Nevadas, backpacked Yosemite, and set crab traps in Half Moon Bay. We studied the Word, shared […]

Meet the ‘Precocious Atheist’ Still Pining for a Misplaced Faith September 12, 2024
Donna Freitas’s spiritual autobiography, Wishful Thinking: How I Lost My Faith and Why I Want to Find It, stands in the tradition of the “dark-night-of-the-soul” memoir. But unlike mystics such as St. John of the Cross, who found their way through dark times into the light of faith, Freitas is unsure whether she ever believed […]
