When you are at your most weakest,
And feel that you just can’t cope,
One thing you ought to remember,
With the Lord there is always hope.
No challenge is too big for Jesus,
His shoulders can bear any load,
He will lighten your grievous burden,
And smooth out the most rugged road.
He has been down that way before you,
And knows what dangers may lie ahead,
He will clear a path thru the darkness,
Where even Angels may fear to tread.
Yes, our Savior is just that wonderful,
He cares so much more than you think,
Even tho the tempest roars around you,
Not one foot will ever slip or sink.
He will lift you up out of the mire,
And set you firmly upon His solid rock,
His Angels will always guard over you,
So in His peace you can safely walk.
Well, they say that a picture is worth a thousands words, so there you go! Yes, I know. I am just so corny, right?
Of course, this sharing policy applies to all of the social networks where I currently participate. If you want to make me — yes, I am the old geezer — happy on them, then again, please consider sharing any of my Bill’s Bible Basics graphics which you may find on them. After all, word of mouth is a powerful evangelization and promotion tool.
Below is a list of all of the social networks where I am currently active to one degree or another:
Each of my current 1,020+ poems are classified in a specific category in the list, according to its main theme. Each poem likewise includes a list of related Bible study resources, consisting of articles and series, and topical KJV Bible Verse Lists, which are likewise located on the Bill’s Bible Basics website. Not only that, but hundreds of my poems now have song versions as well. In fact, as of October 2025, there are 1,370 songs to listen to!

The Bill’s Bible Basics Graphics Library is the official home for all of my graphics which you find on the social networks, via Google searches, and scattered across other areas of the Internet. The images in this library are the original and highest quality versions that you will find anywhere, because they were made and stored on my computer, before they were compressed by the social networks, etc. Check out the BBB Graphics Library at the URL below:
Ever since I was a boy in my early teens, I have had a keen interest in the Bible. Back then, not knowing any better, I read a version of the New Testament called “Good News for Modern Man”. Then, in late 1971, I switched to the 1611 Authorized King James Version of the Holy Bible, which I have used as my primary study Bible ever since.
Like many of you, I have always believed in God, and I possessed a sincere hunger for understanding His Word. I wanted to know what it all meant. Of course, back then, being rather young, and not having anyone to properly assist me, I arrived at a few erroneous understandings. But from that time until now, I have embarked on a personal journey to unravel the many mysteries of God’s Word.
The three hundred plus articles and series which you find on the Bill’s Bible Basics website are the results of my labors over these past fifty years. They represent my personal understanding of what certain passages mean. In some cases, you may agree with my views, while perhaps in other instances you may not. But whatever the case may be, it is my hope and prayer that you will be blessed and inspired by what you read here, and that you will find some of the answers which you seek.
