Have you ever broken a bone?
Have I ever broken a bone?
Nope, I have never broken a bone, thank God for that blessing!
What about someone else’s?
No again as well. I have never broken another person’s bone. However I have……..
Broken a wish bone. That counts right?
Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.
Proverbs 3:7 KJV
https://bible-strong.app
Proverbs 3
1 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
2 For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
4 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
9 Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
11 My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:
12 For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
15 She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
16 Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.
17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.
19 The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.
20 By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
21 My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
22 So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
23 Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.
24 When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
25 Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.
26 For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.
27 Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.
28 Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.
29 Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.
30 Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.
31 Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.
32 For the froward is abomination to the LORD: but his secret is with the righteous.
33 The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.
34 Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.
35 The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.

Welcome back as we continue to work our way through Leviticus.
Leviticus 10:4
4 And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said unto them, Come near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp.
5 So they went near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp; as Moses had said.
6 And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons, Uncover not your heads, neither rend your clothes; lest ye die, and lest wrath come upon all the people: but let your brethren, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which the LORD hath kindled.
7 And ye shall not go out from the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: for the anointing oil of the LORD is upon you. And they did according to the word of Moses.
8 And the LORD spake unto Aaron, saying,
9 Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations:
10 And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean;
11 And that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the LORD hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses.
12 And Moses spake unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons that were left, Take the meat offering that remaineth of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and eat it without leaven beside the altar: for it is most holy:
13 And ye shall eat it in the holy place, because it is thy due, and thy sons’ due, of the sacrifices of the LORD made by fire: for so I am commanded.
14 And the wave breast and heave shoulder shall ye eat in a clean place; thou, and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee: for they be thy due, and thy sons’ due, which are given out of the sacrifices of peace offerings of the children of Israel.
15 The heave shoulder and the wave breast shall they bring with the offerings made by fire of the fat, to wave it for a wave offering before the LORD; and it shall be thine, and thy sons’ with thee, by a statute for ever; as the LORD hath commanded.
16 And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin offering, and, behold, it was burnt: and he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron which were left alive, saying,
17 Wherefore have ye not eaten the sin offering in the holy place, seeing it is most holy, and God hath given it you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before the LORD?
18 Behold, the blood of it was not brought in within the holy place: ye should indeed have eaten it in the holy place, as I commanded.
19 And Aaron said unto Moses, Behold, this day have they offered their sin offering and their burnt offering before the LORD; and such things have befallen me: and if I had eaten the sin offering to day, should it have been accepted in the sight of the LORD?
20 And when Moses heard that, he was content.
Leviticus 11
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.
3 Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.
4 Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
As always thanks for reading and God bless!
I strive to have a deep and meaningful understanding of the Bible. I read or listen to God’s word daily and I am searching for fun ways to learn more. I think an extensive character study would be an excellent way to gain a better understanding of His message. I hope my readers enjoy this new resource as we delve into the people of the Bible.
I was taught as a child that Adam and Eve were the beginning of mankind and all races and peoples originated from them. After I studied the Bible further as an adult I soon discovered it tells a different story entirely. In Genesis 1:27 it clearly explains that on day 6 God made man and woman in their image. That day would also be the day all races were created as well. The 7th day God rested. The 8th day he made Adam which in Hebrew “Adam” is written as אדם (adam) and is pronounced ah-dom.
All races coming from one female and one male is not only impossible it is Biblically inaccurate. If Adam and Eve were capable of such a feat then explain how in Genesis 4:16, Cain went to the land of Nod and found a wife. Where did these other people come from? The Bible explains in detail that those people were of the 6th day creation. Lets not forget that one day with the Lord is 1000 years. 1000 years is one day, 2 Peter 3:8.
In Genesis 3:20, it declares Eve as the mother of all living things. That statement is true and accurate because from her, umbilical cord to umbilical cord, the Savior Jesus Christ would be born. Hence the mother of all the living, those living in Christ of course, not all living beings.
It is not written how He made the people of the 6th day creation, however as for Adam and Eve the Bible explains perfectly. On the 6th day God made Adam from the dust of the ground and breathed breath into his lungs, Genesis 2:7. His purpose was to tend to the Garden of Eden as God put him in that very spot, Genesis 2:8. God also allowed Adam to name every beast of the field and fowl of the air, Genesis 2:19 & 20. When no help mate could be found God caused Adam to fall into a deep sleep. Genesis 2:21. Most churches teach that Eve was made from Adam’s rib but no such word is in the Bible. The word use is curved which translates in Hebrew to Tsela (צֵלָע),which more accurately means “side” or “curved part”. Thus, more accurately, Eve was made from the curve of Adam’s DNA. Not Adam’s rib like it is still taught to this day. Sadly most Christians will never study deep enough to see otherwise.
I have never claimed to be a preacher or a teacher. Shepherd’s Chapel gives this advice often so I will as well. Don’t listen to man, read Father’s word for yourself. But read it without the influence of man and interpret the word for yourself. Mark 7:13 warns us that the traditions of men will make void the word of God. Are you studying God’s word or listening to man preach?
To conclude, Adam and Eve were not the first humans on Earth and every race certainly did not come from Adam’s loins and Eve’s womb. Adam and Eve were created on the 8th day and from umbilical cord to umbilical cord, Christ would be born. The Bible follows and describes that lineage from Genesis to Revelation. My beloved reader, study to show thyselves approved.
Thank you for reading my character Bible study and I hope you enjoyed learning about Adam & Eve. Come back tomorrow as we study Cain & Able and the sin in the garden. Have a great day and God bless!
How do you balance work and home life?
How do I balance work and home life? I have a schedule I try to stick to, but some day I just make things up as I go along. It’s a delicate balancing act between what is priority and what can wait. I homeschool two children in the mornings with a toddler tagging along. I work in the evenings. When I get home I am forced to choose between unwinding and losing sleep or going straight to bed to have an early start the next day.
When I am at home I am busy planning, teaching or cleaning. When I am at work I am focused on mentally planning and doing my job. To add to the craziness I make sure I fit God’s word into my lifestyle daily. It’s always a high speed juggling act but I love my little circus.
Welcome back to another in-depth Bible study.
Leviticus 8:31
31 And Moses said unto Aaron and to his sons, Boil the flesh at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and there eat it with the bread that is in the basket of consecrations, as I commanded, saying, Aaron and his sons shall eat it.
32 And that which remaineth of the flesh and of the bread shall ye burn with fire.
33 And ye shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation in seven days, until the days of your consecration be at an end: for seven days shall he consecrate you.
34 As he hath done this day, so the LORD hath commanded to do, to make an atonement for you.
35 Therefore shall ye abide at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation day and night seven days, and keep the charge of the LORD, that ye die not: for so I am commanded.
36 So Aaron and his sons did all things which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.
Leviticus 9
1 And it came to pass on the eighth day, that Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel;
2 And he said unto Aaron, Take thee a young calf for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, without blemish, and offer them before the LORD.
3 And unto the children of Israel thou shalt speak, saying, Take ye a kid of the goats for a sin offering; and a calf and a lamb, both of the first year, without blemish, for a burnt offering;
4 Also a bullock and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before the LORD; and a meat offering mingled with oil: for to day the LORD will appear unto you.
5 And they brought that which Moses commanded before the tabernacle of the congregation: and all the congregation drew near and stood before the LORD.
6 And Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD commanded that ye should do: and the glory of the LORD shall appear unto you.
7 And Moses said unto Aaron, Go unto the altar, and offer thy sin offering, and thy burnt offering, and make an atonement for thyself, and for the people: and offer the offering of the people, and make an atonement for them; as the LORD commanded.
8 Aaron therefore went unto the altar, and slew the calf of the sin offering, which was for himself.
9 And the sons of Aaron brought the blood unto him: and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar, and poured out the blood at the bottom of the altar:
10 But the fat, and the kidneys, and the caul above the liver of the sin offering, he burnt upon the altar; as the LORD commanded Moses.
11 And the flesh and the hide he burnt with fire without the camp.
12 And he slew the burnt offering; and Aaron’s sons presented unto him the blood, which he sprinkled round about upon the altar.
13 And they presented the burnt offering unto him, with the pieces thereof, and the head: and he burnt them upon the altar.
14 And he did wash the inwards and the legs, and burnt them upon the burnt offering on the altar.
15 And he brought the people’s offering, and took the goat, which was the sin offering for the people, and slew it, and offered it for sin, as the first.
16 And he brought the burnt offering, and offered it according to the manner.
17 And he brought the meat offering, and took an handful thereof, and burnt it upon the altar, beside the burnt sacrifice of the morning.
18 He slew also the bullock and the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings, which was for the people: and Aaron’s sons presented unto him the blood, which he sprinkled upon the altar round about,
19 And the fat of the bullock and of the ram, the rump, and that which covereth the inwards, and the kidneys, and the caul above the liver:
20 And they put the fat upon the breasts, and he burnt the fat upon the altar:
21 And the breasts and the right shoulder Aaron waved for a wave offering before the LORD; as Moses commanded.
22 And Aaron lifted up his hand toward the people, and blessed them, and came down from offering of the sin offering, and the burnt offering, and peace offerings.
23 And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the congregation, and came out, and blessed the people: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the people.
24 And there came a fire out from before the LORD, and consumed upon the altar the burnt offering and the fat: which when all the people saw, they shouted, and fell on their faces.
Leviticus 10
1 And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he commanded them not.
2 And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD.
3 Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that the LORD spake, saying, I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace.
As always thank you for reading and come back tomorrow to finish chapter ten of the great book of Leviticus. God bless
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6 KJV
https://bible-strong.app
Proverbs 22
1 A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.
2 The rich and poor meet together: the LORD is the maker of them all.
3 A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.
4 By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honour, and life.
5 Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them.
6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
7 The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.
8 He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: and the rod of his anger shall fail.
9 He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor.
10 Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease.
11 He that loveth pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend.
12 The eyes of the LORD preserve knowledge, and he overthroweth the words of the transgressor.
13 The slothful man saith, There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets.
14 The mouth of strange women is a deep pit: he that is abhorred of the LORD shall fall therein.
15 Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
16 He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want.
17 Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge.
18 For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips.
19 That thy trust may be in the LORD, I have made known to thee this day, even to thee.
20 Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge,
21 That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee?
22 Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:
23 For the LORD will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them.
24 Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go:
25 Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul.
26 Be not thou one of them that strike hands, or of them that are sureties for debts.
27 If thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee?
28 Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.
29 Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.

As mentioned in the prior post “Smyrna and Philadelphia” here is pastor Jesse Sisk
The next couple posts I will leave Shepard’s chapel after that it will only be pastor Jesse. You can find pastor Arnold with the in-depth Bible studies. There we go from Genesis to Revelation, chapter by chapter, verse by verse to obtain the entire plot, setting, and subject.
As always, thanks for reading and God bless.
What do you do when your body feels stuck,
deep down or in a rut?
What do you do when the thought of moving is too much to bear?
The weight of it is like a shirt you wear.
What do you do when your feet weigh
N as much as a ton?
Walking is impossible, let alone run.
What do you do when you’re frozen in place?
The next obstacle, unable to face.
What do you do when the sun won’t shine or you can’t find the remedy to unwind?
What do you do when you don’t want to eat but cooking seems too difficult to complete?
What do you do when your body says stop, we need this.
All the while the world speeds by adding to what you missed.
What should you do? You listen to your body screaming aloud.
Please just a tiny break, I’m sure it’s allowed.
Listen to your body and the things that it needs.
Listen closely or sick you’ll be.
Make time for your body to heal
or your wounds will slowly kill.
Take rest in the Lord our Holy Sabbath. Forget the Lord and face his wrath.
True peace can only be found with Him. This is why we have the Comforter, the fight we will always win.
Today’s rain clouds and showers,
brings tomorrow’s flowers.
So despite the darkness and the rain.
I will forever proclaim His name.
For what seems impossible today,
is only a prayer away!

In the book of Revelation John was dictated by Jesus to write seven letters addressed to seven specific churches, Revelation 2:8-11 and Revelation 3:7-13 KJV. Only two of those churches were praised for their unwavering faithfulness and endurance. That would be the churches of Smyrna and Philadelphia. I do not bring this verse to light as a Biblical backing for the purpose of this article, rather to point out God’s warning that not all churches preach the whole truth. We as Christians must use the discernment that God gave us to decide where we are fed and where we choose not to dine. I am careful who I listen to as I do not like to hear false teaching such as the rapture theory or Easter should be observed with the Easter Bunny. I want the truth not the traditions of men.
With that being said, about a year ago a small church in Kokomo Indiana caught my attention. The pastor Jesse Sisk teaches the same truth as Arnold and Dennis Murray. I have listened to Arnold for about 10 years so my confidence in his videos is unwavering. I have heard not one discrepancy from pastor Jesse and urge all my listeners to consider his videos as well. I will be using pastor Jesse’s videos with the daily Bible studies and pastor Arnold and Dennis for the in-depth Bible studies. I hope the fresh new face will add a layer of excitement and depth to our Bible study routine, bringing new insights and perspectives to the table. Don’t ever solely rely on man to teach you the word of God, read it for yourself. Any day in God’s word is a good day. Thank you for using my daily Bible study tools.

What sacrifices have you made in life?
What sacrifices have I made in life? I wasn’t sure how to answer this question. When words escape me, I use rhymes to bring clarity. Here is a poet’s twist on today’s prompt.
The sacrifices of a mother never change.
They only transform with each passing age.
One day it’s diapers and midnight cries.
The next is the sippy cups and little high fives.
One more blink and the toddler age has gone by.
Replaced with a teenager ready to fly.
For a matriarch everything comes before her own needs.
Always doing more than she believes.
The life of a mother isn’t for the weak,
But rather the meek.
Some check out before the journey begins
Some make it to a few wins.
Others fight to the end.
The sacrifices often go untold.
Holding it together trying not to fold.
How can one give an accurate count?
When no one else is around to take account.
I assure you my friend,
the sacrifices of a mother has no end.
The number goes beyond googleplex,
Yet she still willfully accepts the next.
Mother’s are special, it take a special breed,
to live a life of others needs.
