Analysis of Discrimination Sin



Have you no faith in our Lord?
Showing another with respect;
Partiality be ignored,
Never to another neglect.

If a man wearing a gold ring,
And with fine clothing comes in church;
Are you treating him like a king?
Over a poor man that would lurch.

Do you show one with more value,
Than the other sits in the back;
 Letting attention to pursue,
Rather than the one who would lack.

Partiality as a judge,
Makes you think more of another;
Evil thoughts will carry a grudge,
Of the poor soul as a brother.

God did not choose those with wealth,
Over those with faith that is poor;
He looks to heal spiritual health,
Giving us all a chance to cure.

The poor never try to despise,
By catering to the wealthy;
The Lord who is noble and wise,
Make all spiritually healthy.

No one who would ever blaspheme,
Be called an honorable name;
While one with humbled esteem,
God casts glory as to proclaim.

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…
