WAR DRUMS?

by Bill Kochman

11-08-2024

I’m so glad the election is over,
Back to normal things can go,
But yet is everything normal?
It is something I’d like to know.

Now just as occurred in 2016,
Folks are angrily in the street,
They claim an unfair election,
And won’t accept their defeat.

Trump cheated people insist,
Although the opposite is true,
The Dems were really caught,
As the vote they tried to skew.

So Harris’ drones are in tears,
The end of the world is come,
But some want to fight back,
Can you hear their war drum?

They said peaceful transition,
Thus Obama & Harris spoke,
Yet I’m still inclined to wonder,
If violence some will provoke.

Listen to what they’re saying,
They intentionally stoke fear,
Trying to push people to react,
So resist their lies in your ear.

We all know what’s happened,
Since Hillary’s campaign failed,
They have all just complained,
A grudge so long they’ve held.

So with Kamala hitting the dirt,
What should we now expect?
The choice of American voters,
Will they all decide to respect?

If the nation becomes divided,
We will be vulnerable & weak,
America’s enemies will rejoice,
As an advantage they all seek.

The sound in our city streets,
Grows louder with each day,
God please quell their anger,
For this we must hope & pray.

#Scriptures #BibleStudy #BibleVerses #CupOfIniquity #Iniquity

“For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews: Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men: Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, TO FILL UP THEIR SINS ALWAY: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.”
1 Thessalonians 2:14-16, KJV

“Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets. FILL YE UP THEN THE MEASURE OF YOUR FATHERS.”
Matthew 23:29-31, KJV

For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: IN THE CUP WHICH SHE HATH FILLED FILL TO HER DOUBLE.”
Revelation 18:4-6, KJV

DEVIOUS PLAN

by Bill Kochman

11–03-2024

It was indeed such a devious plan,
Which the world would not reject,
They had to find some crafty way,
So God’s Word they could deflect.

While Christians would not like it,
Everyone else would surely agree,
And so they invented hate speech,
To stifle online preaching you see.

Though it may be in the Holy Bible,
They will now take down your post,
Their standards trump God’s truth,
So your meme will simply be toast.

Now you can appeal their decision,
But it’s rare that you’ll win the case,
The cards are stacked against you,
They do not want you in their place.

The huge hypocrisy in their system,
Is so very obvious and plain to see,
While they limit your own outreach,
Other disgusting memes they let be.

STREET WARRIOR

by Bill Kochman

11-03-2024

You have got to have conviction,
If you are going to hit the street,
Because, my friend, if you don’t,
You’ll just end up in total defeat.

A city can indeed be quite rough,
Wolves will scream in your face,
They will do everything possible,
To try to drive you from a space.

Know you are on the Devil’s turf,
So they’ll jeer, scream and mock,
They will even try to distract you,
So that you can hardly even talk.

Remain focused on your mission,
Share God’s Gospel with the lost,
Stay strong and fight your battle,
And do not surrender at any cost.

The Lord will reward you greatly,
When your mission is finally done,
As you enter God’s Heavenly City,
He’ll greet you as His beloved son.

FRONTLINE FIGHTERS

by Bill Kochman

11-03-2024

Oh how beautiful are the feet,
Of he who publishes Salvation,
He will be blessed by the Lord,
It is indeed a worthy vocation.

For how can anyone believe,
Unless they have first heard,
So go forth by the Holy Spirit,
And preach to them the Word.

Thus wrote the Apostle Paul,
From Isaiah the man did quote,
If you become a bold witness,
You will surely have God’s vote.

So go into the Devil’s kingdom,
And brightly shine God’s light,
Indeed, free all of his captives,
From the darkness of the night.

Yes, snatch them from the fire,
And not one single soul spare,
Proclaim to them the Gospel,
Make them of the truth aware.

God loves His frontline fighters,
They are so bold and not afraid,
Someday when their lives end,
They will each be eternally paid.

GUTSY GOSPEL GUY

by Bill Kochman

11-02-2024

You have got to have some guts,
If you want to share God’s Word,
You can’t be afraid of their faces,
Or else you’ll just never be heard.

The righteous are bold as a lion,
In the Proverbs we are thus told,
You need to claim the anointing,
And not let your fears take hold.

Now even tho flesh may tremble,
Greater‭‭ ‭is‭ he that’s‭‭ in‭side of you‭,
Therefore tho the world‭ may roar,
Just do what God told you to do.

Preach God’s words of Salvation,
Indeed tell them the Gospel truth,
Proclaim it boldly both near & far,
May it be heard from roof to roof.

Do not worry about any rejection,
For there is a wolf in every crowd,
Thus tho they try to distract you,
Just speak the truth long & loud.

Eventually the wolves grow tired,
If you will just stand your ground,
Either the Spirit will convict them,
Or they just will not hang around.

Invisible Angels will defend you,
Nothing evil will touch your soul,
So stay focused on the message,
Remain true to the heavenly goal.

THE ONLINE THING

by Bill Kochman

11-01-2024

There is so much online banter,
No matter which way you swing,
Some people share the Gospel,
Others are into the politics thing.

Music vids occupy a high place,
Astronomy pics are also one fav,
If you post something really cool,
All your friends will no doubt rave.

Silly jokes are likewise common,
Some will surely make you laugh,
Yet others won’t make the mark,
You’ll think that person’s so daft.

Pets and animals are so popular,
Some folks prefer food and drink,
Whatever your particular interest,
You’re free to say what you think.

Indeed there are so many voices,
I mean like you have never heard,
Some posts are rather sensible,
While others seem totally absurd.

Just a hodgepodge of opinions,
With some of them you will agree,
If not you can simply scroll on by,
That’s the right of speech liberty.

PRODIGAL

by Bill Kochman

11-01-2024

You are wrapped up in the world,
You do not see that you are blind,
God offered you a special calling,
But you have left His Will behind.

Just like that guy named Demas,
You swallowed old Satan’s lure,
So many blessings were for you,
Yet now you are spiritually poor.

Just surviving on the dry husks,
Like a prodigal who lost his way,
Thinking where you went wrong,
Did you really take time to pray?

Yet Father remains so merciful,
He can restore if you so desire,
If you have learned your lesson,
Having now passed thru the fire.

HARD AS FLINT

by Bill Kochman

11-01-2024

You must preach the full truth,
No matter what some folks say,
Or you will be held accountable.
On God’s great Judgment Day.

Do not be afraid of their faces,
Even if they make them stern,
For truly unless they all repent,
It is certain that they will burn.

Like Ezekiel, deliver your soul,
As Isaiah with a face like flint,
Whether they continue to sin,
Or if they all choose to repent.

Your job is to deliver warning,
How they react is God’s affair,
You’ll have the peace knowing,
All their sins you will not bear.

For God will so find you faithful,
If the truth you don’t hold back,
So remain true to your calling,
No matter how hard they attack.

DIVIDE AND CONQUER

by Bill Kochman

11-01-2024

Divide and conquer, has always been the Devil’s ruse,
Some folks don’t get it, they seem to miss all the clues.
A nation so divided, the red hats against all the blues,
We’re all the victims, no matter which side we choose.

Yet you choose to argue, and promote your own views,
But without strong unity, we’re all certainly sure to lose.
The politicians don’t help, they purposely light the fuse,
Violence breaks out, we watch it on the evening news.

Our leaders don’t represent us, their powers they abuse,
So we have to wonder, from whom they take their cues.
Now unless we all wake up, we will surely pay our dues,
As bodies begin to pile up, we’ll be praying in our pews.

UNDER THE EARTH — KJV (King James Version) Bible Verse List



#Scriptures #BibleStudy #BibleVerses #UnderTheEarth #BeneathTheEarth

“Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and THINGS UNDER THE EARTH; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
Philippians 2:9-11, KJV

“And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither UNDER THE EARTH, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon . . . And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and UNDER THE EARTH, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.”
Revelation 5:2-4, 13, KJV

MY MUMMY

by Bill Kochman

10-30-2024

Oh how I just love my dear mummy,
She’s really such a tight-wound girl,
I know that she kind of smells a lot,
But I would not trade her for a pearl.

My mummy is really the quiet type,
She rarely ever makes any sound,
Although she doesn’t communicate,
I still really enjoy having her around.

My friends think I am a little strange,
They do not come around anymore,
I’m wondering if maybe it’s because,
My mummy stands by the front door.

My dear mummy has quite a history,
I think it is four millennia maybe five,
Her ancestors were already kicking,
When old man Moses was still alive.

Mummy’s clothing is rather tattered,
I’d buy something new at the store,
But I’m afraid that if I remove them,
Mummy would fall all over the floor.

And so this is life with my mummy,
I hope that you’ve enjoyed my tale,
If ever you’re feeling kind of lonely,
I suggest you get a mummy as well.

IF HE DOESN’T COME

by Bill Kochman

10-29-2024

So what are you going to do,
If Jesus does not even come,
Will you to all those doubts,
Then just quickly succumb?

And what if what you believe,
Turns out to be a deception,
Will you simply re-evaluate,
Formulate a new perception?

Now you may think I’m crazy,
A heretic or possibly worse,
However what if in actuality,
You misunderstood a verse?

Realizing we’ve been in error,
Is not easy for some to admit,
But it is better to be humble,
Than simply give up and quit.

Tho you think it not important,
It’s an idea you must consider,
For if my thoughts are correct,
I do not want you to be bitter.

Thus I urge you to be careful,
About everything you believe,
So many wolves are out there,
And they’re waiting to deceive.

BREAD AND CIRCUSES

by Bill Kochman

10-29-2024

Bread and circuses, bread and circuses,
It is really such a nonsensical way to go,
Strutting out their celebs onto their stage,
It is really meaningless you should know.

Trying so hard to impress the audiences,
With the biggest & most famous names,
If you are smart you will just ignore it all,
Don’t be taken in by the political games.

What really matters are the major issues,
Not what a Hollywood celeb wants to say,
So let’s talk about what’s really going on,
As for those celebs, just please go away!

PRISCILLA AND AQUILA — KJV (King James Version) Bible Verse List



#Scriptures #BibleStudy #BibleVerses #PriscillaAndAquila #AquilaAndPriscilla #Aquila #Priscilla

“After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth; And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came unto them. And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers . . . And Paul after this tarried there yet a good while, and then took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow . . . And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus. This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John. And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.”
Acts 18:1-3, 18, 24-26, KJV

“Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus: Who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.”
Romans 16:3-4, KJV

“The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.”
1 Corinthians 16:19, KJV

“Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.”
2 Timothy 4:19, KJV

CHERRY PICKER — a poem and song by Bill Kochman



#Poetry #Poem

CHERRY PICKER

by Bill Kochman

10-27-2024

She was a Bible cherry picker,
Choosing verses that she liked,
While as for quite a few others,
She told them to go take a hike.

Like so many modern Believers,
She was one to pick & choose,
It is such a dangerous practice,
God’s Word we shouldn’t abuse.

And yet a lot of Christians today,
Foolishly behave just the same,
As if the Bible is some cafeteria,
Or a free-for-all Scrabble game.

If a verse supports their beliefs,
Well then that verse is still okay,
But if a verse contradicts them,
It is simply time to take it away.

And thus they force God’s Word,
To conform to their own thought,
Beware of the people who do it,
Do not be deceived by their rot.

Embrace your Bible completely,
Refrain from any verse cleaning,
Compare one verse to another,
To arrive at the proper meaning.

If you follow my advice closely,
The Lord will be pleased indeed,
And as for your understanding,
It will increase with all you read.

AMBASSADORS

by Bill Kochman

10-26-2024

Well, I am no kind of prophet,
And certainly I am not a king,
I don’t have loads of money,
But of this I will gladly sing.

Even though I am not worthy,
In fact, I am quite the mess,
God led me into His Kingdom,
Thus the Son I must confess.

Many people are just like me,
We are not special not at all,
Yet God reached down to us,
We heard His heavenly call.

Out from this world we came,
With a holy mission to fulfill,
Striving to please Him daily,
As we go about doing His will.

God’s ambassadors we are,
His Kingdom we represent,
We tell folks about the story,
Of a dear Savior that He sent.

Some do not understand us,
They say that we are not well,
If they were to have their way,
We would be locked in a cell.

Tho the world may not like us,
Yet the truth we try to preach,
Sharing the Gospel with them,
Hoping at least a few we reach.

Someday our task will be over,
And we will each take our rest,
God will reward us accordingly,
If we have done our very best.

PREACHER WOMEN

by Bill Kochman

10-26-2024

Stubborn preacher women drive me nuts,
Someone needs to kick ‘em in their butts.
Usurping authority which God didn’t give,
Go back to the Bible and learn how to live.

Apostle Paul said women shouldn’t teach,
So what you are doing is really overreach.
Teaching the Gospel is just the job of men,
The Bible makes it clear go read it again.

Your task is to care for girls and the young,
But as for preaching just hold your tongue.
In the Bible the leaders were usually guys,
You should stop listening to the Devil’s lies.

Yes, deacons & apostles, prophets & kings,
The truth of God’s order quite clearly rings.
So why do you defy what has been written?
By the Devil’s pride have you been smitten?

You can get offended & claim I am not right,
But I stand on God’s Word don’t pick a fight.
Study the Bible and learn your proper place,
Because what you are doing is a disgrace.
