“Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you . . . Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you.”
Hebrews 13:17, 24, KJV

Titus 1:5, KJV

James 5:14, KJV

HAPPY IN JESUS — a poem and song by BBB

HAPPY IN JESUS

by Bill Kochman

https://www.billkochman.com/Poetry

04-28-2014

Happy in Jesus, there is no better way,
To live out your life, every single day.
No world filled with sorrow, or dismay,
Give me joy of Spirit, dear Lord I pray.

Forget getting drunk, on booze and wine,
Popping pills, won’t make you feel fine.
Having a smoke, will cut your life line,
Other vices too, lead to a box of pine.

Only God’s Spirit can cure all your ills,
Satan’s offers are all just cheap deals.
Here is the secret, to get big thrills,
Be happy in Jesus, and see how it feels.

#TheyRefusedToListen #RefusedToListen #Stubborn #Rebellion #Rebellious

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. Repent, because your day of reckoning is coming!

GOLDEN AGE — a poem and song by BBB

GOLDEN AGE

by Bill Kochman

https://www.billkochman.com/Poetry

02-18-2025

They promise us a golden age,
Where everything will be fair,
But frankly, I’ve got to wonder,
Is it from the prince of the air?

So much peace and prosperity,
We just won’t believe our eyes,
But as for me, I am skeptical,
Is it all one devilish pack of lies?

We know many centuries ago,
Pax Romana promised peace,
Enforcing their great strength,
Since then wars never cease.

Will every person have enough?
Is it possible violence will end?
And will respect and decency,
Truly become an ongoing trend?

They promise us a better world,
But what will be the actual price?
I caution that we tread carefully,
If I may offer this sound advice.
