Posted on April 18, 2026 by Bill Kochman

#Scriptures #BibleStudy #BibleVerses #HandsThatShedInnocentBlood #ShedBlood #ShedInnocentBlood

“These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,”
Proverbs 6:16-17, KJV

“Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils, And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.”
Psalm 106:37-38, KJV

“For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness . . . Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths.”
Isaiah 59:3, 7, KJV

“Thus saith the LORD; Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood in this place . . . But thine eyes and thine heart are not but for thy covetousness, and for to shed innocent blood, and for oppression, and for violence, to do it.”
Jeremiah 22:3, 17, KJV

“Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.”
Joel 3:19, KJV

Thank-you!

SAND CASTLES

by Bill Kochman

https://www.billkochman.com/Poetry

02-22-2024

There’s way too much confusion,
Spread across our world today,
Politicians spewing their lies,
Don’t listen to a word they say.

It’s just power, fame and money,
They seek as their one true goal,
But as for the suffering little men,
They don’t care about your soul.

Yes, fast-talking career politicans,
Richer one deception at a time,
Shady deals underneath the table,
Yet they rarely pay for their crime.

Meanwhile all of the poor people,
Struggling hard to make ends meet,
So often they run out of resources,
And end up living on some street.

But God above is keeping a record,
Oppression of the poor He does hate,
While the elite may now build castles,
One day they will meet a nasty fate.

#TheyRefusedToListen #RefusedToListen #Stubborn #Rebellion #Rebellious

While all of the verses in this set of graphics are discussing the ancient, stubborn, rebellious Israelites who repeatedly backslid against the Lord, and fell into deep apostasy, they could just as easily be talking about modern America, or any other modern nation which has heard the Gospel, and yet continues in rebellion against the Lord and His holy Word. Repent, because your day of reckoning is coming!

OUR VICTORY THROUGH CHRIST — KJV (King James Version) Bible Verse List

Posted on April 17, 2026 by Bill Kochman

#Scriptures #BibleStudy #BibleVerses #VictoryThroughChrist #VictoryThroughJesus #VictoriousThroughChrist #VictoriousThrougbJesus

“So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
1 Corinthians 15:54-57, KJV

“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?”
1 John 5:4-5, KJV

MORE THAN A BABE — a poem and song by BBB

MORE THAN A BABE

by Bill Kochman

https://www.billkochman.com/Poetry

11-05-2024

For when ye ought to be teachers,
At one time the Apostle Paul said,
Although it’s rather disappointing,
Like babies we treat you instead.

Dull of hearing Paul had told them,
They weren’t ready for strong meat,
Their spiritual growth was stunted,
So Paul just gave them milk to eat.

Today there are likewise Christians,
Who don’t seem to grow in the Lord,
They are spoon-fed by their pastor,
Never learning how to use a sword.

Now perhaps they believe in Jesus,
And that of course is good and well,
But being saved is just a beginning,
About Jesus others we need to tell.

If our own Salvation is all we’re after,
Then sadly we have missed the goal,
God looks for diligent, hard workers,
Who want to witness and win a soul.

Just sitting in a pew year after year,
Is not developing our faith all that far,
But should we help win folks to Jesus,
Then we’ll shine like the brightest star.
