Analysis of Message Rejection



How shall I call upon God,
In whom they have not believed;
How should they honor and laud,
With no salvation received.

How are they without preaching,
From the Scriptures to be heard;
About Christ and His teaching,
As been written in the Word.

How will we teach if not sent,
For the beauty of the feet;
Of the ones who preach and went,
For being of the elite.

But they have not all obeyed,
Who believes what he has heard;
Some are seduced and have strayed,
What is taught throughout the Word.

So then faith comes from hearing,
Hearing by the Word of God;
Knowing what is revering,
And how to honor and laud.

For their voices has gone out,
To all the ends of the earth;
Which is showing so much doubt,
How much the Word has been worth.

Moses provokes with envy,
Making angry and foolish;
As they feel the jealousy,
As conceited and selfish.

Isaiah is bold to say,
I have been found by who seek;
They must confess as they pray,
While being humbly meek.

All day long I stretched my hand,
To people who disobey;
Contrary to the command,
As they keep going astray.

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…
