COUNT THE COST — KJV (King James Version) Bible Verse List

Posted on March 16, 2026 by Bill Kochman

#Scriptures #BibleStudy #BibleVerses #CountTheCost

“If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.”
Romans 12:18, KJV

“Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.”
Matthew 5:25-26, KJV

“And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them, If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him, Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish. Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand? Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace. So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.”
Luke 14:25-33, KJV

GIDEON — a poem and song by BBB

GIDEON

by Bill Kochman

11-29-2017

There was once a man from Ophrah,
Gideon was the young lad’s name,
An Angel appeared under an oak,
Then that boy began to complain.

If the Lord GOD really be with us,
As in all the glorious days past,
Then why do Midianites afflict us?
Such was the question he did ask.

You shall indeed smite your enemy,
Thus was the answer he did receive,
But I am the least in my own house,
How am I even supposed to believe?

So the Lord gave the youth a sign,
After a meal for the Angel he made,
A fire then came up out of the rock,
And consumed the food where it laid.

The same night the LORD spoke to him,
Throw down your dad’s altar to Baal,
Build another unto the LORD instead,
And cut down your dad’s grove as well.

Gideon did as he had been commanded,
But the people didn’t like this thing,
They wanted to kill that brave boy,
Joash, your son to us you must bring.

But Dad firmly defended his own son,
Let Baal plead for himself he said,
So the townsfolk then all backed down,
And dear Gideon didn’t lose his head.

But doubts yet lingered in his heart,
So he twice tested with the fleece,
Both times God answered affirmative,
Which gave Gideon’s heart some peace.

Now once he had gathered his armies,
The LORD said there are too many men,
They will take credit for the victory,
We must cut back their numbers again.

The fearful were ordered to go home,
Yet 10,000 soldiers still remained,
But after conducting the water test,
Only 300 fighters had Gideon retained.

Despite the tiny size of Israel’s army,
We know the Midianites were done in,
God is not limited by small numbers,
The Lord of Hosts will always win.

Quirk Bill – Honesty Test

Posted on March 16, 2026 by Bill Kochman

#Humor #Humorous #Funny #QuirkyBill

Here is how to determine how honest your online friends are.

Post the crappiest photo you have of yourself.

Wait and see how many of your friends respond with “Great photo!” or “Nice photo!”

Either they REALLY are your true friends who simply ignore the fact that you are obviously slowly falling apart, or else they are flat out LIARS!

😂 😆 😀 🤣

Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.”
Isaiah 55:1-2, KJV

Revelation 21:6, KJV

“And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb . . . And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.”
Revelation 22:1, 17, KJV
