Analysis of The Law of Liberty



One person esteems one day,
As better than another;
Each one convinced to go stray,
His mind against his brother.

The one who observes the day,
Observes to honor the Lord;
Knows how to trust and obey,
And remain in one accord.

Eat in honoring the Lord,
By giving thanks unto God;
Show He is loved and adored,
Thanking with honor and laud.

For yourself, you do not live,
For yourself, you do not die;
The willingness to forgive,
Through your confession is why.

Christ died and rose and revived,
As Lord of the dead and living;
So that you are not deprived,
To have a new beginning.

Never judge on your brother,
Nor ever try to despise;
Let God judge one another,
Because His wisdom is wise.

Every knee shall bow to Him,
And every tongue shall confess;
No longer in feeling grim,
Eternal life He will bless.

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…
