Evolution is a strange theory,
It’s all about changing shapes,
We began with just protozoans,
But somehow ended up with apes.
Yet those apes were not happy,
So they decided to change form,
And now the next thing we know,
Homo sapiens are the new norm.
But the Bible speaks otherwise,
In God’s image man was arranged,
Therefore we can only conclude,
Some scientists are deranged.

FRIEND TO FRIEND

I try to reach out to you,
As a friend to a friend,
Tho miles may separate us,
It’s the Spirit in the end.
I speak your own language,
What you feel in your heart,
For I feel the same things,
Tho we are very far apart.
We are all one great family,
Blood of Christ is the tie,
His Spirit bonds us together,
For us the Lord chose to die.

AFTER WE ARE GONE
by Bill Kochman

We all want to be remembered,
After we are gone,
For some it’s a book written,
While for others it’s a song.
But as I look at my own life,
What stands out very strong,
Is God’s Word I have taught,
It remains for so very long.
So I will keep on preaching,
It’s most important to me,
It may make a difference,
When I reach Eternity.

“Remember, and forget not, how thou provokedst the LORD thy God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou didst depart out of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, YE HAVE BEEN REBELLIOUS AGAINST THE LORD. Also in Horeb ye provoked the LORD to wrath, so that the LORD was angry with you to have destroyed you . . . YE HAVE BEEN REBELLIOUS AGAINST THE LORD from the day that I knew you.”
Deuteronomy 9:7-8, 24, KJV
“Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee. For I KNOW THY REBELLION, AND THY STIFF NECK: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, YE HAVE BEEN REBELLIOUS AGAINST THE LORD; and how much more after my death?”
Deuteronomy 31:26-27, KJV
“And Moses said unto the LORD, Wherefore hast thou afflicted thy servant? and wherefore have I not found favour in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me? Have I conceived all this people? have I begotten them, that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father beareth the sucking child, unto the land which thou swarest unto their fathers?”
Numbers 11:11-12, KJV
“Woe to the REBELLIOUS CHILDREN, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin: That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt! Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion . . . Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever: That this is a REBELLIOUS PEOPLE, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD: Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, PROPHESY NOT UNTO US RIGHT THINGS, SPEAK UNTO US SMOOTH THINGS, PROPHESY DECEITS:”
Isaiah 30:1-3, 8-10, KJV
“I have spread out my hands all the day unto A REBELLIOUS PEOPLE, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts;”
Isaiah 65:2, KJV
“But this people hath A REVOLTING AND A REBELLIOUS HEART; they are revolted and gone . . . The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my PEOPLE LOVE TO HAVE IT SO: and what will ye do in the end thereof?”
Jeremiah 5:23, 31, KJV
“For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry . . . ”

#HardRockMusic #RockNRoll #HardRock #RockAndRoll
“[[A Psalm of praise.]] Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.”
Psalm 100:1, KJV
A JOYFUL noise, and NOT a hellish noise!
Excerpt from my article entitled “God’s Golden Teeth, or Satan’s Delusion”:
—– Begin Quote —–
In like manner, some of the Christian music which fills the airwaves today is indeed inspiring and uplifting; although personally, I never really listen to any of it; partially because I require a quiet environment in order to do my work for the Lord, and also, because I do not like all of the commercials and doctrinal programs which fill up the time slots in between the good music. At the same time, I must also tell you that after paying closer attention to some of the song lyrics on some of the radio shows which are geared towards young Christians, that is, when you can even hear them through the “music”, I have to conclude that some of it is not only a far cry from the beautiful Psalms of King David, but it is downright unchristian. It is no better than the hard rock, worldly music that I used to listen to as a young teenager before I began to follow the Lord. It is a deceptive mixture of Satanic noise, with the words “Christ”, “Jesus”, “Lord”, “God”, etc., lightly dispersed throughout the song, in order to give it a somewhat “Christian” flavor.
This so-called “Christian rock” music reminds me of one of those vanilla ice cream bars which you eat on a stick, which has a thin chocolate covering on the outside. It appears to be one thing, but you quickly discover that it is something entirely different once you bite into it. It is truly sad, because you see, just as some of their parents are being deceived by the sights, sounds and thrills of all of these so-called “manifestations”, which are being performed by the ringleaders at their spiritual circuses, the children are doing the very same thing when they attend these “Christian rock” concerts. Both parents and children are getting excited and emotional in the flesh by these things, but it is all just Satan’s deceptive counterfeit. Once a person leaves the Christian rock concert, or the fellowship filled with all of these “manifestations”, the temporary thrill wears off; and for the next six days, they live their ho-hum existence, until they can go back for a refill when the next weekend arrives. This is not what true Christianity is about.

“Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;”
2 Corinthians 10:5, KJV
“And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:”
Ephesians 6:17, KJV
“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”
Philippians 4:8, KJV
“And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.”
Genesis 6:5, KJV
“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?”
Jeremiah 17:9, KJV
“But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.”
Matthew 15:18-20, KJV
Evil deeds begin with temptations and evil thoughts. It is the execution of our thoughts which make them a sin . . . although in some cases, even just the thought may be viewed by the Lord as a sin, because as Jesus said:
“But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.”
Matthew 5:28, KJV
Thus Paul wrote:
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”
Romans 3:23, KJV

“Ye [speaking to the Jewish leadership] are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”
John 8:44, KJV
“Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.”
Matthew 23:15, KJV
“In whom the god of this world [Satan] hath blinded the minds of them [the Jews] which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.”
2 Corinthians 4:4, KJV
“. . . Did ye [speaking to the unbelieving Jews] never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected [meaning the Jews rejecting Jesus], the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, [from the Jews] and given to a nation [God’s new born-again Christian nation] bringing forth the fruits thereof. [meaning the fruits of true repentance]”
Matthew 21:42b-43, KJV
“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
“But ye [meaning we Christians, since Peter was writing to the Christian brethren, and NOT to the unbelieving Jews] are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:”
1 Peter 2:9, KJV
“And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. But the children of the kingdom [the Jews who falsely claim to be God’s “Chosen People”] shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
Matthew 8:11-12, KJV
“I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.”
Revelation 2:9, KJV
“Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.”
Revelation 3:9, KJV
“Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.”
1 John 2:22, KJV
“And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.”
1 John 4:3, KJV
“For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.”

MAGNIFICENT WORLD
by Bill Kochman
https://www.billkochman.com/Poetry
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.

NARROW-MINDED MAN
by Bill Kochman
https://www.billkochman.com/Poetry
04-06-18
I knew a narrow-minded man,
Who walked a very narrow way,
He talked about Jesus Christ,
All the live long day.
Some folks didn’t like his message,
Not a word he had to say,
But he was determined to remain,
Faithful come what may.
No feel-good sermons did he preach,
No, not a single one,
His critics griped and groaned,
“Man, you’re just no fun!”
“You need to loosen up”, they said,
“This is a modern day.”
“God accepts us just the way we are,
We won’t have to pay.”
But he refused to bow to pressure,
He preached just God’s straight Word,
Those fools eventually walked away,
As if they hadn’t even heard.
Don’t you be like those folks,
Repent of your every sin,
If you do, God will know,
Someday His Kingdom you’ll walk within.
