Salvation

Date:

The gifts and sacrifices,
Are meant to be food or drink;
For fellowship entices,
Giving us all time to think.

But it will never give you,
For having a clear conscience;
For anything that you do,
Causing lack of confidence.

Purify body and soul,
And establish a new way;
To reach your spiritual goal,
So you can love and obey.

A new way of doing things,
That the Lord does require;
For the changes that it brings,
Is what God will admire.

Christ went through a better tent,
Which not made by human hands;
For the hate and discontent,
Were filling throughout the lands.

He was using His own blood,
Not the blood of goats and bulls;
Rather than causing a flood,
For changing a land of fools.

He went to the holy place,
Offering this sacrifice;
So that God would shed His grace,
Without having to think twice.

Forever all to be free,
Unlike ashes of the cows;
Unclean that you cannot see,
The blessings that God allows.

The blood of Christ has no flaw,
Had no defect but did more;
Because He follows the Law,
Following down to the core.

His Spirit gives the conscience,
Cleanses from the useless things;
Giving a new common sense,
Through salvation it brings.

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.
