The Growth of a Saint

Date:

I have this request to make,
For our Lord Jesus Christ;
Do not ever try to forsake,
Reasons He was sacrificed.

Do not anger right away,
Alarmed when anyone claims;
That a spirit came to say,
We live in a life that shames.

Believe not if they have said,
Christ has already returned;
As the lies that they have fed,
For the time no one has learned.

Let not anyone deceive,
About this in any way;
Only the faith you believe,
Keeps you from going astray.

That day cannot come too soon,
When destruction is revealed;
As sin causes a blood moon,
The book of life is unsealed.

He opposes so-called Gods,
Anything that is worshipped;
Exposing them all as frauds,
The saints must be well=equipped.

Because the growth of a saint,
Is the work of a lifetime;
Do not be weary or faint,
Or give in to any crime.

You already know what holds
An individual back;
And while their life unfolds,
Give someone what they may lack.

The mystery of all sin,
The secrets that have been sealed,
Repenting will soon begin,
Through confession be revealed.

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.
