“And refused to obey, neither were mindful of thy wonders that thou didst among them; but hardened their necks, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage: but thou art a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and forsookest them not.”
Nehemiah 9:17, KJV

“The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever. He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him. For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust. As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more. But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children’s children; To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.”
Psalm 103:8-18, KJV

“The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.”
Psalm 145:8, KJV

“It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.”
Lamentations 3:22-23, KJV

“The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.”
Nahum 1:3, KJV

“And he prayed unto the LORD, and said, I pray thee, O LORD, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil.”
Jonah 4:2, KJV

“And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.”
Joel 2:13, KJV

WITTY BUT WHAT A PITY

by Bill Kochman

https://www.billkochman.com/Poetry

03-29-2019

He thought that he was so witty,
He did not believe in the Lord,
So whenever there was a debate,
He’d always have the last word.

He was quite eloquent in speech,
Leaving folks in an utter daze,
But his wife was a firm Believer,
Who prayed for that man for days.

Alas that fool remained hardened,
Leading astray not merely a few,
Local Christians were befuddled,
They didn’t know just what to do.

One day that man suddenly died,
It surprised so many all around,
The big question on their minds,
Was if he was now Heaven bound.

Well tho he didn’t understand it,
He stood before the mighty Throne,
Not a single word left his lips,
His body trembled in every bone.

Judgment was passed in a moment,
His own words told his sad tale,
That soul didn’t belong in Heaven
His arguments were to no avail.

Shocked beyond belief he shouted,
But it was all just a silly game,
God then looked at him and said,
You never accepted my Son’s name.

And not only did you reject Him,
You caused others His name to deny,
So stop with your witty excuses,
You already know the reason why.

Posted on March 16, 2026 by Bill Kochman

#Scriptures #BibleStudy #BibleVerses #ChaffOfTheUngodly #Chaff #Ungodly

“The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.”
Psalm 1:4-6, KJV

“How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and how oft cometh their destruction upon them! God distributeth sorrows in his anger. They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away.”
Job 21:17-18, KJV

“Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.”
Daniel 2:35, KJV

“I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
Matthew 3:11-12, KJV

“Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.”
Matthew 13:30, KJV

Be advised that the purpose of this group of images is NOT to instigate a gun debate. In fact, the gun debate is OFF TOPIC. Period. Online debate is not what I am about. If you disagree with my Bible-based position, then according to your faith. This series of graphics is simply about trusting in the Lord above everything and everyone else. The questions theses graphics ask are rhetorical, and do NOT require a response.

FLOOD

by Bill Kochman

https://www.billkochman.com/Poetry

10-04-2023

I am drowning in politics,
It’s just everywhere I look,
I am really quite sick of it,
I need some private nook.

They won’t leave me alone,
Won’t you please go away,
Stop now with the barrage,
I don’t care what you say.

Seriously I’ve had enough,
A long rest I really need,
All of your political rants,
I don’t have time to read.

In my inbox, on my phone,
Plus the radio and my TV,
What a nuisance you are,
Just like some darn flea.

But it is a campaign year,
So for me there’s no hope,
Now I’ve got to figure out,
How I am going to cope.

FAITH FIGHT

by Bill Kochman

https://www.billkochman.com/Poetry

10-04-2018

We all have our moments when we doubt,
We question what our life is all about.
Even as Christians we at times despair,
Our prayer unanswered, is God up there?

As we grow older, our beliefs may wane,
Has our faith just been all in vain?
Not a miracle seen, no signs anywhere,
The world in a mess, doesn’t God care?

It can be so hard to trust in God above,
And keep on believing in His great love.
In our weakness we want proof He’s real,
But for His reasons, God remains still.

The Prophets gave signs, Apostles too,
And that is how folks of old all knew.
But today God works in a different way,
Demanding we have faith, day by day.

Trusting in His Word, we must believe,
Only this way, Salvation we’ll receive.
So even though at times it may be hard,
Keep on fighting till that final yard.

Resist your doubts, keep pressing in,
And by God’s Grace you will surely win.
