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.

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.
