Teach and encourage to do things, As pleasing to the eyes of God; Because of the blessings it brings, Any time you honor and laud. Whoever teaches false doctrine, That does not agree with the Word; Would lead you to a world of sin, By heeding to what you have heard. Be content what is godly taught, The accurate words of the Lord; Experience grace through each thought, Never letting God be ignored. A puffed up man is conceited, He shows he does not understand; Rather doting when repeated, Evading disputes on sinking sand. This is producing jealousy, As well as cursing, suspicion; Causing conflict and rivalry, As a corrupted condition. Corrupted minds become uncouth, Conflicting between the people; As we have been robbed of the truth, For godly life in the Gospel. A godly life brings huge profits, To the people who are content; Of what they have through their merit, Remaining calm, never lament. We brought nothing when we were born, And cannot take anything out; The clothes and food as we sojourn, Should satisfy of any doubt. The rich fall into temptation, They are trapped by such desires; At the time of tribulation, What destruction acquires. The love of money is the root, The root of all kinds of evil; And will only bear rotten fruit, Bearing the grief from the devil. Copyright © 2017 Richard Newton Sherrer Vote for this poem
