Analysis of Partiality Sin



Show no partiality,
Having the faith as you hold;
For your spirituality,
In the Lord be good as gold.

If a man with a gold ring,
Having fine clothing that comes by;
A poor man with worn clothing,
Which one is catching your eye.

If your attraction to one,
And rather than the other
Is this right what you have done,
Treating over your brother.

Have you made a distinction,
Judgment of an evil thought;
Considered as transgression,
A partiality sought.

Has not God chosen the poor,
As rich in faith to be heirs;
Those spiritually mature,
Who displaying lovingly cares.

You dishonor the poor man,
While the rich will oppress;
For the judgment in your plan,
The prestige that you obsess.

The worthy name is a curse,
Of the name that you are called;
The wealthy being perverse,
The Father will be appalled.

If you keep the royal Law,
According to the Scripture;
Loving your neighbor in all,
Helps you as a new creature.

If you show respect to one,
You sin if not valued all;
Convicted by what is done.
Just as Adam too his fall.

Whosoever keeps the Law,
Yet is failing in one point;
Accountable with a flaw,
Before penance to anoint.

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…
