I believe that Jesus and the First Century Apostles and Disciples were the Firstfruits of the Resurrection. Furthermore, based upon my understanding of the Scriptures, I believe that God has been working throughout the ages since that time to bring in the latter fruits and the latter harvest.

GOD’S ROPE

by Bill Kochman

https://www.billkochman.com/Poetry

08-01-2014

When the Devil’s got you down,
And you feel like you can’t cope,
When everything’s going wrong,
And there seems to be no hope,

When that snake accuses you,
And calls you a first class dope,
When God answers with a “Yes”,
And Satan replies with “Nope”,

Don’t just sit around crying,
Or pity yourself and mope,
Bounce right back into the fight,
And hang him with God’s rope.

A WORD FOR YOU!

by Bill Kochman

https://www.billkochman.com/Poetry

08-31-2024

I wanted to write something personal,
Yes, my friend, it is meant just for you,
Just a small word of encouragement,
God knows what you’re going through.

While sometimes things seem so dark,
You really don’t have anything to fear,
For God remains in absolute control,
Just wait & He will dry your every tear.

Please hold on fast despite the waves,
And the winds which buffet your faith,
Don’t mind the thunder and lightening,
The Lord will lead you to a harbor safe.

Then all the trials you’re going through,
Will suddenly seem so extremely small,
And as you laugh you will come to see,
You really had no reason to worry at all.

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.

FLAT EARTHERS

by Bill Kochman

https://www.billkochman.com/Poetry

02-22-2023

Some people are so convinced,
They claim that the Earth is flat,
Well please excuse my protest,
But I simply can’t agree with that.

It is really hard to understand,
Just where their heads are at,
Our planet looks like a pancake,
While all the others are so fat?

Now, opening up their Bibles,
They will point you to a verse,
Yet as far as I am concerned,
They understand it in reverse.

God does not author confusion,
All His ways are clearly sound,
Just looking at other planets,
Convinces me Earth is round.
