U.S. Rep. Austin Scott: CM's D.C. Bible Studies Extremely Important

“Schedule and time are the toughest things for a Member of Congress, and the Capitol Ministries’ Bible study is a protected time on my calendar. It is extremely important to me.

“The Bible study provides an in-depth look at God’s instructions with many of the things we in Congress are dealing with.

“Being in the Members Bible study gives me the opportunity to sit down with other people who are very strong in their faith and discuss the pressures of the job, challenges on our families, the future of the country, and recognize that not only are you not in this alone because you’ve got God who is looking out for you, but you are not in this alone because you’ve got other children of His who are right there with you who are experiencing the same things.

“Capitol Ministries is an important part of many people’s lives.”

Austin Scott
U.S. Representative
Georgia, 8th Congressional District

Study Puts Salt and Light Into Perspective

“Salt and light,” which is found in the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5-7, is frequently used to describe a believer’s role in the world.

But to isolate “Salt and Light,” without studying the logical progression of the Beatitudes is to misunderstand Jesus’ meaning, Ralph Drollinger writes in this week’s study that he will teach to U.S. Senators and Representatives on the Hill in Washington, D.C.

“Is America a faith-based nation today? I think there is a debate about that because America has turned her back on her first true love. That is why in-depth Bible studies are so important for leaders at all levels. Capitol Ministries helps lawmakers relate Scripture to today’s issues.

“What does Scripture teach about capitalism—that’s a biblical principle. One of the 10 Commandments says, ‘thou shall not covet.’ How can you covet something if it doesn’t belong to someone else? You will also find in Genesis 35 where God demonstrated land ownership when He said to Jacob, your name shall be Israel and this land is yours.

“What does Scripture say about being pro-life? What does Scripture say about spending money you don’t have—all of these issues are important ones that lawmakers grapple with and they’re all spelled out in Scripture.

“In-depth Bible studies inform us on how to look at these issues from a biblical perspective. If we legislators have a scriptural basis for our actions and if our faith informs our decisions, I have to believe that God is going to lead us to a better solution than what we would come up with ourselves.”

Ministry Quotes

Torrey Lewis

Local Government Ministry | Hillsboro, Oregon

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.
