DRIFTED AND SIFTED

by Bill Kochman

09-09-2024

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?

FLAT WRONG!

by Bill Kochman

09-09-2024

Certain Christians claim Earth is flat,
I am sorry, but I simply cannot agree,
Though their doctrine is quite wrong,
Yet they unwisely defend it furiously.

Being misguided about some verses,
I can honestly state I do understand,
But the way they belittle our brethren,
Has sadly gotten totally out of hand.

Such mean-spiritedness shocks me,
It is just not the true way of the Lord,
They condemn and attack opposers,
As they hack away with their sword.

You see, even if their belief were right,
Yet those Flat Earthers remain wrong,
Because their attitude is despicable,
It would be better if we just got along.

GREAT PREACHER?

by Bill Kochman

09-09-2024

So I have heard you have this idea,
Being a great preacher of the Lord,
You see yourself before a big crowd,
Raising high your Christian sword.

Your heart is so filled with emotion,
Seeing how your words they admire,
But I have to ask you a big question,
Is that really the Lord’s true desire?

Now wanting to serve Jesus Christ,
Is truly a very noble vision indeed,
But you also need to be so careful,
That your own ego it does not feed.

When the Lord spoke of greatness,
He stated it was to be servant of all,
It’s not seeking our own recognition,
But serving with humility God’s call.

If you just desire the praise of men,
While before a big crowd you stand,
Your motive for preaching is wrong,
It is important that you understand.

So just make Jesus front and center,
Because He alone is God’s true Light,
And if you follow this my suggestion,
Then all your preaching will be right.

SOMETHING BUT NOTHING

by Bill Kochman

09-09-2024

Shrewd politicians have a special knack,
For saying something but nothing at all,
Yeah, they will simply ramble on and on,
But it’s as if they have run into some wall.

You will listen very closely to their speech,
Trying your very best to figure them out,
But quite frankly when they have finished,
You are still wondering what it was about.

It certainly seemed great for a sound bite,
As they rattled off their various thoughts,
Yet despite all of their interesting talking,
Your confused brain is still tied up in knots.

But then as you decide to take more time,
To more clearly decipher what they said,
You suddenly arrive at the firm realization,
They were really messing with your head.

No, they did not actually give information,
Or tell you the positions where they stood,
They just so slyly kept stringing you along,
So you still question what’s under the hood.

UNITY LOST

by Bill Kochman

09-09-2024

Well a long, long time ago,
In a land so very far away,
Christians were all united,
They agreed what to say.

But then legalists crept in,
Some false brethren too,
Introducing strange ideas,
A confusing doctrinal stew.

The Apostles worked hard,
To weed out all the goats,
But wolves can be sneaky,
If they hide in sheep coats.

The Church was fractured,
Denominations were born,
And so for many years now,
Division has been our thorn.

The old unity disappeared,
On so few things we agree,
Ask one hundred preachers,
And you will assuredly see.

A Church that is so divided,
Is a Church that’s very weak,
Unlike those early Christians,
With 1 voice we don’t speak.

Old Satan must be so happy,
To see such a doctrinal mess,
If there is any quick solution,
I am clueless I must confess.

TRACKED!

by Bill Kochman

09-08-2024

Now once you are in their grid,
It is so very difficult to get out,
Even if you decide to do that,
They know what you’re about.

Your life has been infiltrated,
On every device that you use,
How they track all your data,
Can really give you the blues.

From your cell phone to iPad,
Or desktop to MacBook Pro,
They have collected your info,
Oh more than you even know.

From secret apps they install,
To web browser cookies too,
They have a pretty good idea,
Of just about all that you do.

Oh yes they have your profile,
Stored in a hidden database,
From your actions on the web,
To a recent photo of your face.

Now, of course, they’ll deny it,
And claim it simply is not true,
But if you had all their power,
You’d be tempted to do it too.

So go ahead & call me crazy,
Say I am paranoid to the max,
But I dare you to try to prove,
These aren’t the honest facts.

I HATE DEBATE BAIT

by Bill Kochman

09-08-2024

There exist certain people who argue,
Indeed, for the sake of arguing alone,
It really does not matter which subject,
All they care about is picking a bone.

Oh be very careful how they goad you,
Don’t get caught up in their silly debate,
Regardless of what they do to annoy,
Don’t you ever dare swallow their bait.

Their primary goal is to cause division,
So God’s sheep fight some other sheep,
Thus the best way to avoid their trap,
Is by simply not making a single peep.

You need to ignore their taunts & jabs,
Even when you’re so tempted to reply,
And if you resist all of their needling,
That conversation will eventually die.

So this is a good way to handle foxes,
When they try to creep into your midst,
It is better to resolve problems nicely,
Rather than having to rely on your fist.

POPULATION CONTROL

by Bill Kochman

09-06-2024

Now, if young men only marry men,
And if all women just marry women,
Plus if we all practice birth control,
It’s useless for any sperm swimmin’.

This amounts to population control,
Indeed, all across this entire nation,
You have destroyed the whole point,
Of each woman having an ovulation.

I hope you know what you’ve done,
It’s slow genocide on a national level,
Can you not see how stupid this is,
Quite frankly, it is really of the Devil.

Surely it seems like an evil scheme,
Devised by the sly people in control,
For if we see it as just our own idea,
Then we’ve played our assigned role.

Just like cattle that we keep in a pen,
It works to regulate our total number,
And thus by agreeing to these things,
We really could not be much dumber.

JUST ONE MORE POUND

by Bill Kochman

09-06-2024

I have got a serious question,
Have you ever seen an old bag?
It is something you won’t forget,
Man, how those old people sag.

They will just sag in the middle,
And they will just sag at the top,
I fear that just one more pound,
And those ole folks gonna drop.

Oh yeah, eating piles of candy,
‘N guzzling down cans of beer,
Tell me is it really any wonder,
Tires drop down to their rear?

To watch them is just amazing,
I swear it’s one cold, hard fact,
The way those folks walk about,
Is a very careful balancing act.

Now, I’m not trying to be mean,
You see, I am not exactly trim,
In fact, I’m kinda actually hopin’,
My tires gonna help me to swim.

TRAPPED IN THE GRID

by Bill Kochman

09-06-2024

Now going back almost fifty years or so,
Karl said to never leave home without it,
As we fast forward to this present time,
We see few people ever seem to doubt it.

But it is no longer those traveler cheques,
You see, now it is something totally new,
If for some reason you forget this thing,
It could really leave you in a major stew.

It’s a device to be connected all the time,
Whether you eat, sleep, or are at work,
Many folks have their face so deep in it,
I worry without it they might go berserk.

But I must warn you of the sinister side,
Because you really have a right to know,
Buried deep within that device you love,
GPS let’s them know everywhere you go.

Indeed, it’s true that because of that tech,
They could know everything that you did,
After all, you are merely a pawn to them,
Who they track on the global Matrix grid.

Oh, how indeed it was such a clever plan,
To create a device that’s in high demand
Now our actions are so closely watched,
Their surveillance is clearly out of hand.

If we were to suddenly stop using them,
Imagine the chaos which would ensue,
People are so dependent on them now,
I dread they would not know what to do.

And thus we go about our daily affairs,
With our cell phones probably nearby,
Knowing full well there is an eye on us,
Yet we rarely stop & ever question why.

THE PERFECT CHURCH?

by Bill Kochman

09-06-2024

How he got worked up in the flesh,
That guy was really quite a clown,
Their entire congregation agreed,
He was the coolest pastor in town.

On weekends he’d bring in a band,
To play those church folks a tune,
Their singer was quite handsome,
Oh how the women would swoon.

The church held lovely bake sales,
Everybody came by to get a treat,
The event was a fine social affair,
Where the townsfolk would meet.

The children all sang in the choir,
No sweeter sound one could hear,
Those proud parents sang along,
As the kids smiled from ear to ear.

It seemed like a wonderful church,
Absolutely anyone was allowed in,
Even tho behind the public curtain,
Their lives were full of terrible sin.

Alas, adultery was quite rampant,
Certain members were into LGBT,
Drunks were beating their wives,
Ugly things no one wanted to see.

Passing for some perfect picture,
On the surface you could not tell,
That despite such an appearance,
Many people were bound for Hell.

The problem was really the pastor,
He wanted to be such a swell guy,
So instead of preaching the truth,
He’d always tell those people a lie.

My friends, you’re all doing so fine,
He never dared to mention any sin,
No, give them a feel-good religion,
So their hearts he could surely win.

Such are so many churches today,
Compromise has filled their pews,
Music, cakes and other nonsense,
But so few sharing the good news.

Spiritual circuses so full of clowns,
Strange manifestations and more,
If you ever encounter such a place,
I urge you to run straight for a door.

MAGNIFICENT WORLD

by Bill Kochman

09-05-2024

Just imagine the magnificent beauty,
When the Lord first created the Earth,
It was indeed such a wonderful sight,
All of God’s sons were filled with mirth.

Yes, it was so virgin, pure and verdant,
No, never touched by any human hand,
How I would have surely and truly loved,
To have lived in that very pleasant land.

Now of course in our own present time,
Some places still take our breath away,
Yet I must wonder if it can ever compare,
To the world born on that very first day.

No doubt Adam and Eve had to marvel,
As they took in such an awesome view,
Honestly, if you had been in their place,
Wouldn’t you have likewise done it too?

Yet today just look at what we are doing,
To this precious gift given from above,
We strip & pollute it with so many things,
And don’t treat it with kindness and love.

Poor stewards we have all certainly been,
We do not respect what our Father gave,
So there needs to be a great awakening,
For it’s past time that we begin to behave.

RIGHT WHERE THEY WANT YOU

by Bill Kochman

09-04-2024

They have got you right where they want you,
Under their thumb is exactly where you are,
They made your life just so totally impossible,
That you were not able to even get very far.

Oh, yes, they applied their financial screws,
So it was either buy food or pay that last bill,
Now there is simply no breathing space left,
Your whole life is just one big struggle uphill.

Indeed, they were so very sneaky about this,
As they gradually took all your support away,
But you see now you are dependent on them,
And must do exactly what the schemers say.

Because if you should ever try to defy them,
They’re the ones who are holding a full hand,
Meanwhile they’ve made you so vulnerable,
So now, do you finally see and understand?

They gave you many wonderful programs,
That were supposedly to ease all your pain,
But the actual truth of this devious matter,
Is that it was just for their own political gain.

WELCOME TO THE MATRIX

by Bill Kochman

09-04-2024

Now, I am not for MAGA,
And I am not for Trump,
Forget about Ms. Harris,
She’s a fire in the dump.

I’m not for the elephant,
And I’m not for the mule,
Forget both the parties,
They play you for a fool.

Controlled opposition,
Is the name of the game,
Yes, there are two sides,
But the coin is the same.

They like to let you think,
That you have a voice,
Yet come election time,
There isn’t a real choice.

They’ve already decided,
Who will take the prize,
But they hide this truth,
Behind their wall of lies.

Welcome to the Matrix,
We’re glad you are here,
We control everything,
There is no need to fear,

Just follow all the rules,
Do not cause any heat,
And soon you’ll realize,
Life here is really sweet.

“And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book. Therefore now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto thee: behold, mine Angel shall go before thee: nevertheless in the day when I visit I will visit their sin upon them. And the LORD plagued the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.”
Exodus 32:33-35, KJV

“Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD.”
Jeremiah 23:2, KJV

“For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst of you, deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed. For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not sent them, saith the LORD. For thus saith the LORD, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.”
Jeremiah 29:8-10, KJV

Jeremiah 50:31-32, KJV

“And now will I discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of mine hand. I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts. And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, whereof she hath said, These are my rewards that my lovers have given me: and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them. And I will visit upon her the days of Baalim, wherein she burned incense to them, and she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers, and forgat me, saith the LORD.”
Hosea 2:10-13, KJV

BLACK HEART

by Bill Kochman

09-02-2024

Oh you have such a black heart,
It is so plain to see in your eyes,
You’re filled with much darkness,
You believed that old Devil’s lies.

Although I’ve tried to reach you,
Your pride just gets in your way,
You laugh at all my preaching,
And refuse to hear a word I say.

So convinced you know better,
You simply scoff at God’s Book,
When I try to show you verses,
You resist taking a single look.

You think my beliefs are funny,
You’re persuaded I’m not smart,
But someday you will face God,
And He will order you to depart.

Only then will it finally hit you,
What an utter fool you’ve been,
And despite your desperate cry,
The angels just won’t let you in.

Yes, away they’ll then take you,
To a place you don’t want to go,
You will be consumed by the fire,
For a truth you refused to know.

Oh, indeed this is such a sad tale,
It happens many times each day,
Folks so hardened in their hearts,
They fully reject God’s holy way.

Let my poem serve as a warning,
Don’t resist when given a chance,
When you hear talk about Jesus,
Don’t dare take a foolish stance.

Believe the word that is spoken,
Be humble and accept the Lord,
Because there’s two destinations,
And one you really can’t afford.

NEVER ALONE

by Bill Kochman

09-02-2024

Oh you sweet dear foolish child,
Did you think He does not care?
As you were feeling terribly lost,
Did you think He was not there?

As problems tumbled about you,
And quickly closed in the night,
Though you were encompassed,
Yet still you possessed His light.

But sometimes God draws away,
To a distance and yet not too far,
Even though you can’t sense Him,
He knows exactly where you are.

Now this feeling is not so foreign,
Even Jesus must’ve felt the same,
As He hung on that Roman cross,
For all of our sins He took blame.

God, why have you forsaken me?
Those nearby heard Him cry out,
Even tho God was still with Him,
Of this there should be no doubt.

So even though you may wonder,
And to doubts you may be prone,
Just always remember dear one,
God never truly leaves you alone.

LONELINESS

by Bill Kochman

09-02-2024

Many of us have at different times,
Known the sad mistress loneliness,
One of her jobs which she does well,
Is to absolutely steal our happiness.

How we fall into such a dismal state,
Just happens for so many a reason,
But one thing which we surely know,
Is that it is never a pleasant season.

We stop and think how many people,
Have a spouse, family, friends or pets,
But as for us we’ve got none of these,
And it can fill our hearts with regrets.

Perhaps we made a mistake before,
That led to our current sad situation.
Oh, yes, we are feeling so miserable,
There’s just no time for any jubilation.

But rather than place our eyes on us,
We require a different kind of solution,
It might begin with a very simple step,
That is, to offer ourselves absolution.

Now if we made some personal error,
We cannot remain trapped in the past,
For if we stay and don’t move forward,
This loneliness is guaranteed to last.

So lift your eyes up towards the Lord,
You really need to stop looking down,
Because if you do, I know for certain,
You will no longer be wearing a frown.

Now instead of thinking about yourself,
Find somebody else who has a need,
Then do your best to help them out,
And they will become a friend indeed.

Just like that your loneliness is gone,
A new friendship has now taken root,
As you can see it was not really hard,
To give that old mistress a final boot.

CONSTANT COMPANION

by Bill Kochman

09-02-2024

Throughout the Bible’s long history,
Alone holy Prophets seemed to be,
Yet they had a constant companion,
Which the world simply couldn’t see.

Wandering over mountains and hills,
Preaching in cities against deep sin,
They’d often encounter the darkness,
Yet God’s light burned bright within.

They were known as solitary figures,
Sometimes there was a need to hide,
Though people turned against them,
The Lord remained a continual guide.

Well today it really is not so different,
For God’s folks who spread the Word,
Even if you’ve never really met them,
Their message you have surely heard.

Often they work alone in their rooms,
Writing out a truth God has revealed,
Beyond the loud noises of this world,
By God’s Spirit they’ve been sealed.

So if you count yourself among them,
May God bless you in all that you do,
If you remain faithful for all your days,
He’ll reward you when your life is thru.
