BUNGLING BABES

by Bill Kochman

https://www.billkochman.com/Poetry

03-19-2023

You claim Jesus is coming soon,
And we’re now in the tribulation,
But what if your belief is wrong,
And it is a false interpretation?

Such a thought may turn you off,
But I ask you to first hear me out,
Just settle down for a moment,
Please don’t scream and shout.

That is right, now just be cool,
There is no need to blow a fuse,
Now give me a chance to explain,
Before you even start to accuse.

Many doctrines are taught today,
Without a Scriptural foundation,
I have heard them for many years,
Yes, to my personal consternation.

There are people teaching today,
Who are babes in Christ at best,
They put on a preaching mantle,
But never even passed God’s test.

Young in faith, they do not know,
What the Bible is really all about,
Yet they endeavor to teach others,
Misguiding many without a doubt.

To be a teacher is a serious thing,
Which should not be taken lightly,
It takes years to study the Word,
And we must each divide it rightly.

DOCTRINAL DEBATES

by Bill Kochman

https://www.billkochman.com/Poetry

08-28-2014

The Devil is having a heyday,
Throughout our Christian land,
Brother fights against brother,
Over their doctrinal stand.

Angry exchanges become rampant,
Pride and ego come to the fore,
Everyone wants to be so right,
Humility they just all ignore.

But I refuse to engage them,
It is just not my cup of tea,
Maybe someday they’ll realize,
It’s an exercise in futility.

AS DIRTY AS I AM

by Bill Kochman

https://www.billkochman.com/Poetry

12-20-2016

As dirty as I am,
Yet Jesus died for me,
No, I don’t deserve it,
But there’s the mystery.

My sins are before me,
Thus King David wrote,
I know the same feeling,
There’s no room to gloat.

Such is the greatness,
Of the great God above,
He elected to save us,
By way of His Son’s love.

God’s Blessings Are Conditional Graphic 07

#GodsBlessingsAreConditional #BlessingsAreConditional #Blessings

“And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and THOU SHALT CALL THEM TO MIND among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee, And SHALT RETURN unto the LORD thy God, and SHALT OBEY his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul; That THEN the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee. If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee: And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers. And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live. And the LORD thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee. And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the LORD, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day. And the LORD thy God will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the LORD will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers: If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.”
