It is good if you stay single,
And never try to get married;
Giving you the chance to mingle,
No family burdens carried.

If you control not desires,
Then maybe consider you should;
Satisfy sexual fires,
That only as a woman could.

A wife should never leave her man,
With winding up in a divorce;
Then remain single is the plan,
Or continue and stay on course.

A husband should not leave his wife,
Stick it out through both thick and thin;
Through the turmoil and the strife,
That happens time and time again.

If a Christian man is married,
To whom is an unbeliever;
Stay with her till she is buried,
Urge her to be a receiver.

The unbelieving made holy,
Because of a Christian husband;
Both will remain meek and lowly,
In front of God when they will stand.

A Christian man and woman that bond,
Must be keeping their marriage vows;
Until one of them goes beyond,
For the peace and love God endows.

How does a wife learn how to save,
As well as a man saves his wife;
Before they wind up in the grave,
Without knowing eternal life.

You must try to save and convert,
No matter what it just might take;
Pray to God who is the expert,
Knowing that He will not forsake.

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.

Evangelicals Struggle to Preach Life in the Top Country for Assisted Death October 4, 2024
Canadian Christians increasingly find their pro-life values in conflict with their nation’s rapid acceptance of medical assistance in dying (MAID). Many say churches could be a refuge in Canada’s pro-MAID culture, reminding people of human dignity and providing community supports that can help them resist the lure of MAID. But chances are, most Canadian Christians […]

Modern ‘Technoculture’ Makes the World Feel Unnaturally Godless October 4, 2024
In his 1996 novel, In the Beauty of the Lilies, John Updike has a fictional Reformed Presbyterian minister feel his faith abandon him like an exhale, leaving his “habitual mental contortions decisively relaxed.” For this minister, the experience was one of relief, “an immense strain of justification” lifted “at a blow.” Unbelief, in this sense, […]
