“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.”
John 15:13-15, KJV

“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.”
Revelation 3:20, KJV

“And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.”
Luke 12:4-5, KJV

“But I trust I shall shortly see thee, and we shall speak face to face. Peace be to thee. Our friends salute thee. Greet the friends by name.”
3 John 1:14, KJV

In contrast, consider this:

“Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.”
James 4:4, KJV

SERMON OR EXAMPLE?

by Bill Kochman

https://www.billkochman.com/Poetry

05-12-2014

Do you try to live what you preach,
Not a hypocrite in any way?
Do you back up with real actions,
All the nice things that you say?

People have heard so many sermons,
They know all about the Good Book,
They want to see a true example,
When at your life they take a look.

Words are quite easily spoken,
Doing as Jesus said is what counts,
Lacking a sample with our sermon,
To nothing our fine preaching amounts.

GET UP AND FIGHT!

by Bill Kochman

https://www.billkochman.com/Poetry

05-05-2014

You can complain, and you can rant,
You can whine, that you just can’t,
But if God gave you something to do,
His Grace will help you see it through.

Quitters don’t win, winners don’t quit,
And that is really the gist of it,
So get off your lazy behind,
And prove you’re the fighting kind.

God will reward you, it is sure,
But show Him that you can endure,
Up from the ground, no moping around,
It’s time to get back into this war.
