Senator Steve Daines, R-Montana, Testifies to the Importance of Bible Study

April 2015

“I think it is very beneficial for Lawmakers to be involved in a serious Bible study. We should look to the Bible for examples of leaders. In fact, Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel, was speaking to a joint session of Congress and he looked up from the speaker’s rostrum and saw Moses is staring down at him. Here is the face of Moses who provided the law. I look at an example of Daniel and it’s very relevant today. Daniel was a Jewish boy who was taken captive to modern day Iraq. The Bible says he was an effective leader who defused some very difficult situations in a hostile environment. Daniel 2:14 says he exhibited wisdom and tact; that is always the prayer I have. Whenever people ask how they can pray for me, I say, pray for wisdom and tact as we lead here in Washington.” — U.S. Senator Steve Daines, R-Montana
