Real Love

June 20, 2017 by Richard Newton Sherrer Leave a Comment

By faith we have His approval,
Because of what the Lord has done;
Through iniquity removal,
The Father blesses through the Son.

For we now have the peace with God,
And through Christ we can approach Him;
Joyfully we honor and laud,
Always cheerful not feeling grim.

So we brag for the confidence,
For the glory from God received;
Remaining in obedience,
For the hope and trust we believed.

We also brag of suffering,
Suffering creates endurance;
Since Christ is our buffering,
Giving us the perseverance.

Confidence we are not ashamed,
God has poured love into your heart;
That is why we have still proclaimed,
For His Spirit does not depart.

Looking at it at the right time,
And while we had been so weak;
With an ungodly quest in crime,
An immoral life did I seek.

Christ died for ungodly people,
To die for godly men is rare;
Those who believe in the Gospel,
Also have compassion to share.

Christ died when we were still sinners,
Which demonstrates His love for us;
For victory being winners,
And commending His love as thus.

Since the blood of Christ is given,
It is flowing down our path;
Bridging the gap up to Heaven,
And is sparing us from His wrath.

The death of His Son had restored,
A harmonized relationship;
Let us to be in one accord,
Able to grasp a renewed grip.

Taking the life of His Son saves,
Our life for an eternity,
No longer rotting in the graves,
Rather Heaven eternally.

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.

Faith Lived Close to the Land September 27, 2024
My dad eased his pickup truck along the rolling sidehill, tracing the curves in the rows of hay stretching before us, the steering wheel wandering beneath his hand. The afternoon sun was high and warm. We could have fallen asleep beneath its affectionate glow, were it an afternoon lazy enough to let our family rest. […]

Fasting Is A Good Thing. But For Some of Us, It’s Complicated. September 27, 2024
For a time when I was a child, I wanted nothing unless it was grilled cheese—without the bread. My loving parents accommodated me by placing a special order when we went to restaurants. Eventually, I became a vegetarian after making the connection between the animals I professed to love and what was on my plate. […]
