Analysis of Condemnation



In returning, you shall be saved,
In quietness and in your trust;
For you are no longer enslaved,
To temptation from any lust.

But you have been so unwilling,
While fleeing upon a horse;
That iniquity is thrilling,
And that you rather stay the course.

A thousand shall flee at the threat,
Leaving a signal on the hill;
Because of what they all fret,
Becoming spiritually ill.

The Lord awaits to be gracious,
For shining His mercy and grace;
It is a blessing of justice,
In giving you His sweet embrace.

The people shall dwell in Zion,
And you shall be weeping no more;
As the lamb rests with the lion,
And each one will love and adore.

He shall be gracious at the sound,
Answers you as soon as He hears;
Knowing that you shall be abound,
The place where everyone reveres.

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…
