GUEST DEVOTIONS
Life as a New Man
by Richard Sherrer
04/04/25
Put On the New Self
Colossians 3:1-7
You have been raised with Jesus Christ,
So, seek the things that are above;
Remember He was sacrificed,
For us all because of His love.
He sits on the right hand of God,
Ruling over things from above;
Worship for to honor and laud,
Not of the things on earth thereof.
You have died and your life hidden,
Until the time when Christ appears;
He’ll appear all things forbidden,
His glory your homage bring cheers.
Put to death all the earthly things,
Soon there will be the wrath of God;
That the lust and desire brings,
Causing you in becoming flawed.
Children who are disobedient,
God is coming spreading His wrath;
On them He will not be lenient,
As judgment is crossing their path.
For in this you too had once walked,
Then when you were living in them;
The confession that you had talked,
In prayer stopped God not to condemn.

The Advance of the Gospel

Defending the Gospel
Philippians 1:12-18
I want you to know what occurred,
Betide to advance the Gospel;
Unto me that has really served,
Making it known to the people.
It has become known all throughout,
My bonds in Christ are manifest;
The imperial guard no doubt,
In the palace to all the rest.
I am confident in the Lord,
Waxing confidence by my bonds;
Boldly to speak in one accord,
Without fear knowing He responds.
Some preach of Christ from rivalry,
But others also of good will;
Even some with strife in envy,
Wrong direction that they instill.
The one preach Christ of contention,
But not doing it out of love;
In defense having apprehension,
Affliction to my bonds above.
Some have a selfish ambition,
Not sincerely what they proclaim;
But the other of love affliction,
Defending the Gospel of His name.
Whether in pretense or in truth,
That I rejoice when Christ is preached;
Exposing those that are uncouth,
From the darkness of their out-reach.
