Christian Life Struggles
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
You have followed my teaching,
My conduct and aim in life;
My faith and love in reaching,
Through all the toils and strife.
Patience through persecutions,
Steadfastness through suffering;
For all my contributions,
Christ is there for buffering.
Persecutions I endured,
From them, the Lord rescued me;
The blessings that He has poured,
Has given insight to see.
All who desire to live,
A godly life within Christ;
Avoid what is addictive,
Causing one to be enticed.
Evil men and seducers,
Shall go on from bad to worse;
As deceptive producers,
Giving you a darkened curse.
Continue in what you learn,
With faith you firmly believe;
God assures that you will earn,
Inheritance you receive.
From childhood, you have known,
Makes you wise for salvation;
Sacred writings from His throne,
Faith makes a new creation.
All Scripture is breathed by God,
Profitable for doctrine;
Training to righteously laud,
For spiritual discipline.
The man of God be complete,
Every good work is furnished;
By providing food to eat,
And spiritually nourished.
