Analysis of False Teacher Judgment
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Waterless springs and misty storm,
Of the gloom of utter darkness;
Anyone who does not transform,
The Lord is refusing to bless.
They speak swelling with vanity,
Enticed by sensual passions;
Acting like with no sanity,
And having immoral fashions.
They promise of having freedom,
But as slaves to depravity;
Heaven will not be their kingdom,
Not having any liberty.
If they escape defilement,
Without knowledge of our Lord;
Because lusts of beguilement,
Our Savior has been ignored.
It would have been better for them,
Knowing the way to righteousness;
To be unknowingly condemn,
And not feeling His graciousness.
The dog returns to its vomit,
And pigs wash after they wallow;
But a man can never commit,
When evil lurks in their shadows.
