Bill's Bible Basics Blog

Jesus prayed for the Church to be one,
Just as He and His most holy Father are,
Yet tragically as I begin to look around,
I cannot help but see we’ve drifted so far.

Apostle Paul also advised God’s Church,
To speak with one mouth and one mind,
But that old Satan had his wicked plans,
And sent in divisive, argumentative kind.

Yes, how he started sifting the brethren,
Using legalism as his weapon of choice,
And within a matter of a few short years,
Brethren no longer spoke with one voice.

Man worship then invaded God’s flocks,
And strange doctrines began to abound,
What had been a united, powerful body,
No longer stood on solid, unified ground.

Many centuries have passed since then,
And this division has only grown worse,
It so saddens me to see how Christians,
Now destroy each other verse by verse.

Yes, we’ve been sifted & have so drifted,
We’re no longer the Church Jesus found,
If the Lord were to visit our current time,
Do you think He’d want to stick around?

FOOLISH PRIDE — a poem and song by BBB

FOOLISH PRIDE

by Bill Kochman

https://www.billkochman.com/Poetry

04-07-2014

In his foolish pride, man thinks he is so great,
But compared to God, he is really second rate.
Puffed up in our ego, we posture and we boast,
Satan tried that too, and now he is just toast.

A false image of ourselves, we like to present,
If someone steals our limelight, them we resent.
Such silly behavior, befits not a child of God,
Better to be humble, although they think us odd.

Dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return,
In the Book of Job, God even calls man a worm.
Beware of your heart, it will lead you astray,
There’s a Lake of Fire, for some on Judgment Day.

While all of the verses in this set of graphics are discussing the ancient, stubborn, rebellious Israelites who repeatedly backslid against the Lord, and fell into deep apostasy, they could just as easily be talking about modern America, or any other modern nation which has heard the Gospel, and yet continues in rebellion against the Lord and His holy Word.
