Analysis of No Different Gospel



Grace to you and peace from our God,
Our Father of Jesus Christ;
The Lord that we honor and laud,
On the cross, He was sacrificed.

He gave Himself for our sin,
Saving us from an evil age;
Opportunity to begin,
Prospect for the eternal stage.

To whom be glory forever,
But you quickly deserted Him;
Letting your alliance sever,
And since then your life has been grim.

Not that there is another one,
But there are some who trouble you;
Has distorted the Father’s Son
A twisted Gospel is untrue.

Even an angel from Heaven,
Should preach to you a false Gospel;
Not as to what God has given,
God will cast out from His temple.

Anyone preaching another,
Contrary to the one received;
No longer a Christian brother,
Anyone who would have believed.

Do I seek approval from God,
Or desire to persuade man;
A false Gospel comes from a fraud,
Seeking to depart from God’s plan.

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…
