U.S. Senator Lankford: Bible Studies Fortify U.S. Leaders as they Serve the Nation

“Every legislator is bombarded with requests for their time, so you prioritize what will help you be prepared to serve your constituents.

“Nothing better prepares a person to serve than deepening his faith with others who face the same challenges.

“When I went to Washington D.C., I looked for a group that would encourage me in my faith walk, allow me to process the practical questions of Scripture and give me a time to pray with other legislators.

“Capitol Ministries has been a consistent part of my weekly schedule so I can be refreshed in my spiritual walk while I serve.”

A Christian Congressman can’t separate his faith from the decisions he makes in office. Faith should be an integral part of a Christian’s life. Whether your job is running a business, or whether your job is being a laborer, or whether your job is being in the United States Congress, it really doesn’t matter; if your faith is integrated into your life, it is going to affect how you think, what you do, and how you act.“For me, my faith is the center of my life. The principles of my faith are found in the Bible. I read the Bible all the way through every year; I read Psalms and Proverbs through every month. And every day I look for a verse that I write down on a piece of paper and put in my pocket, knowing I will come across the reason it is there and, sure enough, that is how it works out. The biblical principles I live by, affect everything I do every day including making votes, meeting with constituents, or trying to serve the community in other ways. Faith can’t be pulled apart from other areas of life. You can’t separate faith and say, ‘I go to church on Sunday thatis the faith part of my life, and the rest of the week is the secular part of my life.’ You can’t live like that and have real faith. As a Christian, my faith affects everything I do.

Ministry Quotes

A few weeks ago, members of our Hillsboro Bible study began discussing when life begins. To teach them the biblical perspective, I gave the members copies of “God’s View of Babies Inside and Outside the Womb” which was written by Ralph Drollinger, President and Founder of Capitol Ministries who leads Bible studies to U.S. senators and representatives every week on the Hill in Washington, D.C. Among many Scriptures quoted in the study was Psalm 139:13: For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother’s womb.

This verse points out that God is at work in the formation of the baby inside the womb, thus, life begins at the point of conception.

The next week one of the members of the Bible study reported that a voter had called to ask his position on this issue.

The candidate was equipped to share confidently his prolife stance as a result of the Bible study materials and our discussion.

Capitol Ministries Bible studies are helping upcoming leaders learn the Word of God in a way that brings out its applicability to our modern lives.

I am continuingly impressed by the applicability of God’s Word to our present time.
