SERIOUS, NOT SO SERIOUS

by Bill Kochman

Some say I’m a serious person,
And indeed it is true that I am,
But I’ve got a sense of humor,
And can also be quite the ham.

But the trick is knowing when,
To be funny or to hold it back,
Yes, I have got it under control,
No need for a hysteria attack.

When I am serious I’m serious,
And then when I’m not I’m not,
I strive to maintain a balance,
Yes, I give it everything I’ve got.

Now maybe you are wondering,
If I want to appear funny now,
I shall leave it for you to decide,
Out of this poem I take my bow.

Apostles Were Convinced Jesus Would Return Soon Graphic 01



#ApostlesWereConvinced #Apostles #JesusWillReturn #ReturnSoon #JesusWouldReturn

NOTE #1: In Acts 2:16-18, the Apostle Peter — who had just been filled with the Holy Spirit — is clearly saying two things: Joel’s prophecy was being fulfilled at that time during the First Century, and that period was also the Last Days. The phrase “last days” does NOT mean from 30 AD to the 21st Century, as some modern, Futurist-leaning Bible teachers erroneously teach. That is a false doctrine of men.

NOTE #2: The fact that in 1 Thessalonians 4:14-18 the Apostle Paul includes himself by saying “we” is clear proof that he was expecting Christ’s soon return, and he was hoping to still be alive to witness it.

NOTE #3: In Hebrews 1:1-2, the phrase “last days” refers to the very end of the Prophet Daniel’s 70 weeks — or 490 years — prophecy. It has nothing to do with our modern times, as Futurists claim.

NOTE #4: In Hebrews 10:37, the phrase “a little while” does NOT mean 2,000 years in the future as the Futurists claim.

NOTE #5: In James 5:2-3, 7-8, the Apostle James is likewise confirming that it was the Last Days, and he was convinced that Jesus would be returning soon.

NOTE #6: 1 Peter 4:7 confirms the phrase “in these last days” mentioned in Hebrews 1:1-2 above.

NOTE #7: In 1 John 2:18, not once, but twice, the Apostle John tells his readers that it is the Last Time, or the very end of the Prophet Daniel’s 70 weeks prophecy.

Conclusion: Peter, James and John — who were Jesus’ inner circle — as well as the Apostle Paul, were all convinced that Jesus would return during their lifetimes, exactly as He had promised them in these verses:

In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I WILL COME AGAIN, AND RECEIVE YOU unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also . . . I will not leave you comfortless: I WILL COME TO YOU.”
John 14:2-3, 18, KJV

How can so many modern, Futurist-leaning Christians continue to resist the plain truth of the Scriptures?

STREET WARRIOR

by Bill Kochman

https://www.billkochman.com/Poetry

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.

AMBASSADORS

by Bill Kochman

https://www.billkochman.com/Poetry

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.

UNITY LOST — a poem and song by BBB

UNITY LOST

by Bill Kochman

https://www.billkochman.com/Poetry

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.

PRAYERS OF JESUS — KJV (King James Version) Bible Verse List



#Scriptures #BibleStudy #BibleVerses #PrayersOfJesus #JesusPrayers #JesusPrays #PrayersMadeByJesus #JesusPraying

“‭After this manner‭ therefore‭ pray‭‭ ye‭: Our‭ Father‭ which‭ art in‭ heaven‭, Hallowed be‭‭ thy‭ name‭.‭Thy‭ kingdom‭ come‭‭. Thy‭ will‭ be done‭‭ in‭ earth‭, as‭‭ ‭it is‭ in‭ heaven‭.‭Give‭‭ us‭ this day‭ our‭ daily‭ bread‭.‭And‭ forgive‭‭ us‭ our‭ debts‭, as‭‭ we‭ forgive‭‭ our‭ debtors‭.‭And‭ lead‭‭ us‭ not‭ into‭ temptation‭, but‭ deliver‭‭ us‭ from‭ evil‭: For‭ thine‭ is‭‭ the kingdom‭, and‭ the power‭, and‭ the glory‭, for‭ ever‭. Amen‭.”
Matthew 6:9-13, KJV

“‭And‭ when he had sent‭‭ the multitudes‭ away‭‭, he went up‭‭ into‭ a mountain‭ apart‭‭ to pray‭‭: and‭ when the evening‭ was come‭‭, he was‭‭ there‭ alone‭.”
Matthew 14:23, KJV

“‭And‭ he went‭‭ a little‭ further‭‭, and fell‭‭ on‭ his‭ face‭, and‭ prayed‭‭, saying‭‭, O my‭ Father‭, if‭ it be‭‭ possible‭, let‭‭ this‭ cup‭ pass‭‭ from‭ me‭: nevertheless‭ not‭ as‭ I‭ will‭‭, but‭ as‭ thou‭ ‭wilt‭.‭And‭ he cometh‭‭ unto‭ the disciples‭, and‭ findeth‭‭ them‭ asleep‭‭, and‭ saith‭‭ unto Peter‭, What‭, could ye‭‭ not‭ watch‭‭ with‭ me‭ one‭ hour‭?‭Watch‭‭ and‭ pray‭‭, that‭‭ ye enter‭‭ not‭ into‭ temptation‭: the spirit‭ indeed‭ ‭is‭ willing‭, but‭ the flesh‭ ‭is‭ weak‭.‭He went away‭‭ again‭ the‭ second time‭, and prayed‭‭, saying‭‭, O my‭ Father‭, if‭ this‭ cup‭ may‭‭ not‭ pass away‭‭ from‭ me‭, except‭ I drink‭‭ it‭, thy‭ will‭ be done‭‭.‭And‭ he came‭‭ and found‭‭ them‭ asleep‭‭ again‭: for‭ their‭ eyes‭ were‭‭ heavy‭‭.‭And‭ he left‭‭ them‭, and went away‭‭ again‭, and prayed‭‭‭ the third time‭, saying‭‭ the same‭ words‭.”
Matthew 26:39-44, KJV

“‭And‭ in the morning‭, rising up‭‭ a great while‭ before day‭, he went out‭‭, and‭ departed‭‭ into‭ a solitary‭ place‭, and there‭ prayed‭‭.”
Mark 1:35, KJV

“‭And‭ when he had sent‭‭ them‭ away‭‭, he departed‭‭ into‭ a mountain‭ to pray‭‭.”
Mark 6:46, KJV

“‭And‭ he went forward‭‭ a little‭, and fell‭‭ on‭ the ground‭, and‭ prayed‭‭ that‭, if‭ it were‭‭ possible‭, the hour‭ might pass‭‭ from‭ him‭. ‭And‭ he said‭‭, Abba‭, Father‭, all things‭ ‭are‭ possible‭ unto thee‭; take away‭‭ this‭ cup‭ from‭ me‭: nevertheless‭ not‭ what‭ I‭ will‭‭, but‭ what‭ thou‭ wilt. ‭And‭ he cometh‭‭, and‭ findeth‭‭ them‭ sleeping‭‭, and‭ saith‭‭ unto Peter‭, Simon‭, sleepest thou‭‭? couldest‭‭ not‭ thou watch‭‭ one‭ hour‭? ‭Watch ye‭‭ and‭ pray‭‭, lest‭ ye enter‭‭ into‭ temptation‭. The spirit‭ truly‭ ‭is‭ ready‭, but‭ the flesh‭ ‭is‭ weak‭. ‭And‭ again‭ he went away‭‭, and prayed‭‭, and spake‭‭ the same‭ words‭.‭ And‭ when he returned‭‭, he found‭‭ them‭ asleep‭‭ again‭, (for‭ their‭ eyes‭ were‭‭ heavy‭‭,) neither‭‭ wist they‭‭ what‭ to answer‭‭ him‭. ‭And‭ he cometh‭‭ the third time‭, and‭ saith‭‭ unto them‭, Sleep on‭‭ now‭, and‭ take ‭your‭ rest‭‭‭: it is enough‭‭, the hour‭ is come‭‭; behold‭‭, the Son‭ of man‭ is betrayed‭‭ into‭ the hands‭ of sinners‭.”
Mark 14:35-41, KJV

“‭And‭ he withdrew‭‭‭‭ himself‭ into‭ the wilderness‭, and‭ prayed‭‭.”
Luke 5:16, KJV

“‭And‭ it came to pass‭‭ in‭ those‭ days‭, that he went out‭‭ into‭ a mountain‭ to pray‭‭, and‭ continued all night‭‭‭‭ in‭ prayer‭ to God‭.”
Luke 6:12, KJV

“‭And‭ it came to pass‭‭ about‭ an eight‭ days‭ after‭ these‭ sayings‭,‭ he took‭‭ Peter‭ and‭ John‭ and‭ James‭, and went up‭‭ into‭ a mountain‭ to pray‭‭.‭ And‭ as‭ he‭ prayed‭‭, the fashion‭ of his‭ countenance‭ was‭‭ altered‭, and‭ his‭ raiment‭ ‭was‭ white‭ ‭and‭ glistering‭‭.”
Luke 9:28-29, KJV

“‭And‭ he said‭‭ unto them‭, When‭ ye pray‭‭, say‭‭, Our‭ Father‭ which‭ art in‭ heaven‭, Hallowed be‭‭ thy‭ name‭. Thy‭ kingdom‭ come‭‭. Thy‭ will‭ be done‭‭, as‭ in‭ heaven‭, so‭ in‭ earth‭.‭ Give‭‭ us‭ day‭ by day‭ our‭ daily‭ bread‭.‭ And‭ forgive‭‭ us‭ our‭ sins‭; for‭ we‭ also‭ forgive‭‭ every one‭ that is indebted‭‭ to us‭. And‭ lead‭‭ us‭ not‭ into‭ temptation‭; but‭ deliver‭‭ us‭ from‭ evil‭.”
Luke 11:2-4, KJV

“‭And‭ the Lord‭ said‭‭, Simon‭, Simon‭, behold‭‭, Satan‭ hath desired‭‭ ‭to have‭ you‭, that he may sift‭‭ ‭you‭ as‭ wheat‭: ‭But‭ I‭ have prayed‭‭ for‭ thee‭, that‭‭ thy‭ faith‭ fail‭‭ not‭: and‭ when‭ thou‭ art converted‭‭, strengthen‭‭ thy‭ brethren‭.”
Luke 22:31-32, KJV

“‭And‭ he‭ was withdrawn‭‭ from‭ them‭ about‭ a stone’s‭ cast‭, and‭ kneeled down‭‭‭, and prayed‭‭,‭ Saying‭‭, Father‭, if‭ thou be willing‭‭, remove‭‭‭‭‭ this‭ cup‭ from‭ me‭: nevertheless‭ not‭ my‭ will‭, but‭ thine‭, be done‭‭. ‭And‭ there appeared‭‭ an angel‭ unto him‭ from‭ heaven‭, strengthening‭‭ him‭.‭ And‭ being‭‭ in‭ an agony‭ he prayed‭‭ more earnestly‭: and‭ his‭ sweat‭ was‭‭ as it were‭ great drops‭ of blood‭ falling down‭‭ to‭ the ground‭.‭ And‭ when he rose up‭‭ from‭ prayer‭, and was come‭‭ to‭ his‭ disciples‭, he found‭‭ them‭ sleeping‭‭ for‭ sorrow‭,”
Luke 22:41-45, KJV

“These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word. Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me. I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves. I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.”
John 17:1-26, KJV
