Bill's Bible Basics Blog

When you are in a fix and feeling blue,
If things go wrong and you’re in a stew,
Don’t look within as if you’re the boss,
Lift up your eyes to the blessed Cross.

God sees your trials, and He has a Plan,
Let go of your fears and take His Hand.
Trust in the Lord with all your might,
He knows the way in the darkest night.

God never fails, His sacred Word is sure,
Though big waves assail, you will endure.
The clouds will part and winds will cease,
Fears will vanish as you embrace His peace.

WHEN THE STORM COMES

by Bill Kochman

11-19-2017

Oh the fear and paranoia,
We can sense it on every side,
Sometimes it becomes so heavy,
We want to just run and hide.

They’re tools of manipulation,
Exercised by an invisible hand,
Meant to dominate & control us,
As they rule across the land.

But we of faith can have peace,
If we just trust in the Lord,
When dark troubles surround us,
We must pray & look to His Word.

Tho thick clouds gather together,
And tempests beat at our door,
He promises to always protect us,
For we are His forevermore.

WHEN SIN IS NOT A SIN

by Bill Kochman

12-07-2016

When sin is no longer a sin,
Is what we are seeing today,
God’s Laws say it is wrong,
But human laws tell us “Nay”.

Each of us needs to decide,
Who we will choose to obey,
By grace I’ll follow the Lord,
And be safe on Judgment Day.

But certain foolish people,
Stubbornly go their own way,
When they face an angry God,
They won’t have much to say.

WHEN DOUBTS ASSAIL

by Bill Kochman

09-01-2014

Oft times we all have doubts,
About the depth of our belief,
We may question our sincerity,
And Satan offers us little relief.

That fiend pounds so hard on us,
And fills our hearts with grief,
But stand we must against him,
Lest we fade just like a leaf.

The Lord sees into our hearts,
He knows just where we stand,
If we find ourselves slipping,
He extends us a helping hand.

WHAT KEEPS US GOING?

by Bill Kochman

04-25-2018

What really keeps us going?
Our flesh surely can’t be it,
It brings us down so often,
And makes us want to quit.

There is something greater,
Beyond our human frame,
A Power that dwells in us,
That keeps us in the game.

The earnest of the Spirit,
A treasure in pots of clay,
It fuels and drives forward,
As we serve Him day by day.

Nothing else can explain,
Why we keep on keeping on,
But the spark of His Spirit,
Till the race we have won.

WHAT IS FAITHFULNESS?

by Bill Kochman

12-08-2016

Faithfulness is just doing what you do,
And doing it reliably every single day,
It’s demonstrating your trustworthiness,
Regardless of whatever comes your way.

Faithfulness is being obedient to God,
And doing your very best in your tasks,
It’s denying yourself and your pleasures,
And just doing whatever the Lord asks.

Faithfulness also means being full of faith,
And knowing that God is trustworthy too,
It is confidence that despite your trials,
God will always reliably see you through.

WHAT ABOUT MY CHILD?

by Bill Kochman

01-02-2017

Some Christian parents worry,
When their young children die,
They don’t quite understand it,
And they choose to ask God why.

We just need to trust the Lord,
He won’t lose not a single one,
For they will all go to Heaven,
When their young life is done.

Jesus loves little children,
In the Bible we’re clearly told,
He’ll wrap His arms around them,
They won’t be left out in the cold.

WELL OF THE SPIRIT II

by Bill Kochman

07-26-2014

I wanted to give you something,
A really amazing special treat,
A powerful word from the Lord,
That knocks you off your feet.

I have made so many graphics,
And 100s of poems I have spun,
My articles are likewise so many,
Feeding His sheep is so much fun.

It doesn’t come from within me,
Of this I am absolutely sure,
The well of the Spirit is unending,
We just have to open up the door.

WELL OF THE SPIRIT

by Bill Kochman

04-09-2014

The Well of the Spirit, it runs so deep,
Life-giving waters for those who weep.
Endless, boundless, it never runs out,
Filling us with faith and never a doubt.

Refreshing, inspiring, pleasing our soul,
Binding all wounds, and making us whole.
Man’s water is bottled, sold for a fee,
Jesus paid a Price, God’s water is free.

Come, drink now, partake of this delight,
Fill with the Spirit, bathe in the Light.
Put down your burden, partake of this cup,
If you wait too long, your time will be up.

WEB LIES

by Bill Kochman

12-14-2016

For every truth, ten rumors abound,
This patient has become very sick,
His mental health isn’t very sound.
Get him off of that Internet quick.

The author of confusion began a war,
To capture minds of the weakest men,
He’ll hit hard if you open that door,
Watch out! That fiend’s coming again.

The World Wide Web is his great net,
He spins the wildest tales so I hear,
So beware of that evil one’s threat,
And keep his web lies out of your ear.

WE’VE STILL GOT THE SPARK

by Bill Kochman

11-26-2016

Liberals claim that our faith is dead,
That our candle has grown quite dark,
But I am here to tell you very clearly,
That we have still got the spark.

Mass media too spreads a web of lies,
They say Christians are on the wane,
But I shoot back, it is another attack,
Because the Church still makes a gain.

Atheists insist our numbers are small,
While they watch their followers rise,
But here’s my take, it’s a big mistake,
Because to Hell he’ll go when he dies.

WE SAY WE LOVE JESUS

by Bill Kochman

11-13-2017

We say that we love Jesus,
We boast of having faith of gold,
Yet fill our lives with other things,
And leave Him out in the cold.

Jesus longs to have our love,
He waits patiently by the door,
But we’re busy with worldly life,
And find giving Him time a chore.

No earthly marriage would last long,
If we dared treat our mate the same,
That we do this to our very Savior,
Is nothing short of a shame.

HEDGED ABOUT

by Bill Kochman

10-07-2022

Our God will put His hedge,
Around those who believe,
If we truly put Him first,
His blessings we’ll receive.

God is such a loving Father,
He will meet our every need,
But we must remain faithful,
And so daily plant His seed.

Seeking first His Kingdom,
Telling every girl and boy,
It truly delights our Father,
And fills His heart with joy.

Now tho the enemy may come,
We don’t have anything to fear,
For our great Protector above,
To us will quickly draw near.

Nothing He will let harm us,
We are the apple of His eye,
Brought into His royal family,
When Jesus for us chose to die.
