Analysis of God Pleasing Sacrifices
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Let brotherly love continue,
Neglect not hospitality;
Unto any strangers be true,
Showing them cordiality.
Some may be angels unaware,
That you might be entertaining;
And the willingness that you share,
You can do without restraining.
Remember those who are in jail,
As all those in prison with them;
Their confession that could entail,
Spared from the wrath that would condemn.
Marriage is ethical to all,
The marriage bed is undefiled;
Adulterers God judged to fall,
To hell, they will be exiled.
Live free from the love of money,
Be content with the things you got;
For the lust of milk and honey,
Without desires, you have not.
God will never leave nor desert,
I will not fear He will assist;
Guiding through the day to avert,
Impede temptations that exist.
