The Perfect Tyranny

November 9, 2015 by Richard Newton Sherrer Leave a Comment

This is a message we have heard,
From Christ that was as told to you;
With knowing it comes from the Word,
It is always good to review.

God is light, no darkness in Him,
If we have a relationship;
Then we should not be feeling grim,
Able to build a partnership.

If we are living in the dark,
Then the truth has not been within;
And everywhere we embark,
Has been corrupting us with sin.

If we are living in the light,
In the same manner as with God;
Then we will do all that is right,
And take time to honor and laud.

A partnership with each other,
Through the blood of Christ the Son,
Calling Christians our brother,
Knowing exactly what was done.

Blood of the Son cleanses inside,
Our sin of every kind;
So we are free so we abide,
Purity of the heart and mind.

If we say that we have no sin,
We are deceived without the truth;
Having all corruption within,
Being arrogant and uncouth.

For God is faithful remains just,
And if we confess our sins;
As well as putting our trust,
And our new life then begins.

But if you do not change your way,
The perfect tyranny will start;
All because you have gone astray,
As fire will engulf your heart

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.

The Acceptance Stage of Lost Evangelical Influence September 10, 2024
American Christianity is in cultural and political decline. In 1937, 70 percent of Americans reported that they belonged to a church. These numbers held relatively steady through much of the 20th century. But in the past 25 years, an estimated 40 million Americans have stopped attending church. As Ernest Hemingway said, bankruptcy comes gradually and […]
