Nebraska Senator: Please Plant Bible Studies at all levels of Government!

“I would encourage anyone who is thinking about establishing a Capitol Ministries Bible study in other U.S. states or foreign countries to do so, and not just for senators and representatives, but also studies for government employees at all levels.

“In Nebraska, where I am a Senator, Perry Gauthier leads a weekly Bible study and it has helped us tremendously become the best version of ourselves and make decisions for the good of the people we serve rather than selfish decisions that benefit us politically.

“The lessons of the Bible are definitely relevant for today.”

Nebraska, District 5

For many years I have attended the Capitol Ministries Bible study on the Hill for U.S. Senators and have greatly benefitted from them. Because Capitol Ministries Bible studies delve deeply in Scripture, we learn God’s precepts and what He expects of us as Christian public servants. Serious Bible studies not only benefit we public servants, but through our work in policy and legislation, they benefit society as well. I heartily support these same in-depth Bible studies for local government leaders. Through these studies, God’s Word is preparing the hearts of the future leaders of our nation.

Ministry Quotes

Dr. Dan DeShong

As CapMin’s Director of Local Government Ministries, I am seeking qualified candidates to establish weekly Bible studies to city and county elected and appointed public servants across the United States. I also led the first LGM Bible study to city and county commissioners in the greater Sacramento, CA area. I taught the curriculum, Oaks in Office: Biblical Essays for Political Leaders, which contains the most pertinent Bible studies Ralph Drollinger, President and Founder of Capitol Ministries, has authored to meet the spiritual, personal, and professional needs of Christian legislators over his more than 25 year ministry. Our Sacramento group is still meeting to study the Bible and we are studying Oaks in Office a second time.

The experience was exhilarating to say the least! None of us had any idea that the Bible had so much to say about immigration, parenting, racism, deficit spending, and other contemporary issues. One elected official had planned to leave politics and now he says, “No wonder God has me in this position!“

As Christians, we sort of take biblical precepts and doctrines for granted, but when the issues are broken out in specific chapters like Ralph has done in Oaks in Office, they become very clear and very real.

This first group was pretty excited about this study and will be sharing their story with city and county commissioners around the country. Who knows where God will take this?

Ministries to local government public servants have been planted in California, Texas, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Oregon, Idaho, Missouri, Ohio, and in dozens of provinces and territories in European nations.

Should You Argue from the Bible in a Secular Capital?
