first election sermon ever

                                                                   Judges 9:7-15
The men of Schechem gathered together to elect one of their own party named son of the King (Abimelech)
 Ruler, after the murder of local leaders some thirty in all. A priest named Jotham along other who are in the local townhall vs 6,49 gave a sermon which included a parable of an Olive Tree a symbol for an individual, his warning to the voters was if Abimelech was willing to destroy local government power by an act of tyranny expect him to go after personal liberty. Which he did and it was a woman who wounded him that finally freed them from tyranny.

Gman4326 on the origin of American Bible Study

By Gman4326
Bible Study:
Before 1700 no scripture based lessons had been read in the New England pulpit. In the city of Boston a Congress,named Brattle Street Church, introduced the practice of reading a Sacred Scripture lesson, since other local churches were not doing it, before to long for at least a short time forced to stop it.
It took a century before the practice was rekindled.

Act of Charity

Ron was certainly well off, owned property, cars, expensive suits, weekend parties people would remember,etc. When going to bed it made him feel empty, as if within his own D.N.A, crying out for absolute truth, to worship more than himself and the evil serpent. Most mornings before going to services Ron visits, Richard's coffee house. Sounds of people sitting at the glass tables having conversations about any topic that comes to mind, cash registers opening and closing, where like most mornings, the owner with his paraphase scriptures and the puritan confession, calvin's systematic theology known by its' acronymn t.u.l.i.p. It always irritated ron that richard was content, yes it cost 5.75 for a 20oz mocha latte with hazelnut creme but this not the reason. That continment was what he wanted, but how! Ron sat down at his assign pew. The minister began to speak; The great Jehovah asks each one of us either rich or poor to be charitable. But how come the sacred scriptures tell us that we are not to worry for God our Father in Jesus Christ will provide.
Just because Jehovah is willing to be our provider does not mean the act of Charity to our fellow man is one of those ways. One time a couple who were starving prayed to the Holy Spirit for assitance the next day a young man had this idea to help others out and brought over a box of food. Their prayers were answered.
Something began to happen to ron as if the Lord heard what was inside him. Ron went over to the City license department, pay his 10.00 to start a charity. Began to sell everything, bought a cheaper home used the rest of the proceeds to help other out. Now when ron goes to pich up a 20oz latte he and richard began having a delightful time of it.

The End

Hermeneutics

Etymology of the term comes from 17 century AD to 'interpret'. section 9 of Chapter 1; Gman4326 Confession defines hermeneutics as interpret scripture with scripture as is, or with the help of the Holy Spirit. 9. The infallible rule of interpretation of scripture is the scripture itself; and therefore, when there is a question about the true and full sense of any scripture, (which is not manifold, but one), it must be searched and known by other places that speak more clearly. (2Pe 1:20,21 Ac 15:15,16) 2 peter 1:20,21
  So that ye first know this, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation:
For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the divine Ghost.

Hermeneutics is not hard to understand. If you spent memorizing the scriptures or a book/search engine at your disposal. A person can interpret for themselves.
