Analysis of Godly Incitement



Since we have the confidence,
To enter a holy place;
Christ’s blood for my admittance,
That He has shed of His grace.

With the new and living way,
He consecrated for us;
Through the curtain to convey,
To say through His flesh as thus.

Since we have a great high priest,
Living over the House of God;
Who’s preparing us a feast,
To purge us where we are flawed.

Let’s draw near with a true heart,
Of faith with full assurance;
Pure as temptations depart,
Resistant for endurance.

Heart sprinkled clean from evil,
Pure water cleanses the skin;
Halt the might of the devil,
That invites a world of sin.

Let us hold fast confession,
Without wavering for hope;
Stop the path of transgression,
Defiant as urged to cope.

Because the faithful a promise,
If you stir others to love;
And bless you in His justice,
To the good works done thereof.

Fail not to meet together,
But encourage each other;
Daily habit to gather,
Exhorting one another.

Richard Newton Sherrer

I was born and raised on a farm in Pennsylvania. It was a small family farm that was handed down through 8 generations of Sherrer men until my father; Newton just could not make a living from it any longer. He thought that I would make a better living away from the farm. So, I decided to join the Air Force in 1969 upon graduating from high school. I gained quite a bit of experience and insight on life while in the service. Even though I was only stationed on the east coast of the US, my Air Force career took me to Germany and Korea. After 20 years wearing of the blue uniform, I decided going in a different direction and found myself becoming very diverse in many different fields. Something still seemed missing to me after being separated from the service for about 10 years. The Air Force was a way of life for me, but really missed life in Korea. I found myself changing careers again. Poetry was an interest of his since my days in high school. With returning to the Lord, I felt motivated to write of my Christian beliefs. I started looking at Bible verses and reflecting on my own personal experiences. The Bible was found to be as true today as to when the various books were written. I could see much of what the Bible is teaching us as valid as every in modern time. It felt only natural to me on using his personal experience based on Bible verses and see much of my own life written in the Scriptures. God inspires me what to write about though. I do not claim to be an expert on God or the Bible. I am just a Christian who has become enlightened to write poetic verses from the Holy Scriptures. more…
