Capitol Ministries Weekend

Let's look at the five institutions that were created by God and revealed in the Bible, and especially the role that God meant for government.

Let's dive deeper into the idea that the believer’s primary emphasis on heart change will assuredly and eventually result in culture change. 

Heated debate among Evangelical pastors and church leaders has erupted over the past 40 years as to how the believer should best engage in societal change. While both sides of the debate represent noble motives and seek the same objective, how to best achieve it, unfortunately, remains controversial. Let me suggest that this study’s passage in Luke makes a strong and simple case for the following:...

Given the political turmoil America has experienced recently and in the past few years, let's ake a close look at Ephesians 6:10–11:  Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. This is a timely and appropriate study. The wholehearted examination of this passage provides us w...

Scripture is the foundation upon which all good reasoning is built. It is the only reliable foundation for all logic and good judgment. It is the only trustworthy basis for the beginning of thoughts, ideas, actions and practices. The Word of God is intended to be the mind’s bedrock, its compass.

Let’s look at three excuses that often surface about Bible Study, along with the practical benefits. May you gain a greater conviction to diligently study the Word of God and develop a habit of a lifetime!

This week we will examine all that the Bible book of Proverbs has to say about anger. If you struggle with anger, and who doesn’t, or you hang with those who do, then this chapter in Proverbs is for you.

What are the ploys of the devil that dupe so many people—and how can you see through them? Here is how we can "be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might."

In this study I would like to dig into one of the most important passages in the entire Bible. It will lend great light on the historic arguments regarding the doctrine of salvation: is justification from our sin accomplished by faith alone, or is something needed in addition? This subject has been a controversial one throughout Church history and remains so today. What do you believe regarding ho...

The Lord has been so good through the teaching of His Word in the Senate Bible study, House Bible study, and the re-starting of the White House Cabinet Staff Bible studies in D.C. (which now include Governors and Ambassadors)—putting the Bible front and center! This is not in a theocratic sense but rather a commitment by members to tether their thoughts and practices to spiritual truths. Would you...

The  unity of the followers of Jesus Christ in the nation’s Capitol, state capitols, and civic government matters immeasurably. This study will focus on the importance of that unity , as well as what the Bible says about the issue. The believer must be cognizant of specific actions to perform in order to achieve and maintain unity .  We will examine Ephesians 4:1–3 in this quest. Our nation desper...

America’s challenges seem to be increasing exponentially. Are political solutions, policies, and elections the total answer? Are they the ultimate way to fix these problems? Are they the way to properly diagnose, remedy, and cure our increasingly complex national ailments?  We need to peer for only seconds into a tiny two-chapter Old Testament book, the book of Haggai, to catch an enormously diffe...

From its humble beginnings to its widespread impact in state capitals, Washington, D.C., and 60 foreign capitals, discover how this ministry is training Bible teachers to evangelize and mentor political leaders at all levels of government.

Hermeneutics  is the art and science of scriptural interpretation. In my years of ministry, I have discovered that most people do not even realize there are differing schools of biblical interpretation, let alone understand them. In this study I will attempt to educate you on today’s major hermeneutical schools and help you gain a rudimentary understanding of each. After all, how you interpret Scr...

Paul’s practice pertaining to this question led to at least one political leader’s coming to Christ (Acts 17:34)!

Christmas is a time you can build your family culture:  As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord , says Joshua in Joshua 24:15. 

Are you spending, wasting, or investing your life? Are you having the maximum impact on the maximum number of people for all of eternity? Answering these huge, sobering questions with integrity requires solitude, introspection, prayer, and sobriety. Gather your courage and immerse yourself into these passages. How will you adjust or refine your life’s direction as a result of digesting what follow...

"Where there is no guidance the people fall, but in abundance of counselors there is victory.” Choose the right guides in life. Here's how...

If the trajectory of our country is going to change, it must begin with our hearts. We must first steward our own hearts and the hearts of our families before speaking about changing the direction of our country. May God use the following thoughts to aid in crafting a special, constructive day centered in our love for Jesus. Let us give thanks for all He has done for us!

You can't expect someone who rejects the author of Scripture to accept the precepts of His book. The greatest need—new life in Christ! 

Contemplate the sobriety of King Solomon and what he has to say about a sense of normal living — one that garners blessing, spiritual, mental and physical health, and meaningful relationships.

Only when there is a cost to our faith—when God allows us to be tested—do we learn our true level of spiritual maturity, our level of faithfulness. 

Before we step into the voting booth, let's consider the Book of Proverbs—specifically Solomon's advice to his son, Rehaboam.

How do you respond to tribulation in your personal life? Does Scripture inform your mind and emotions when you are faced with seeming setbacks? Is your mind permeated with Scripture so as to be able to combat the fleshly responses of our inner person? This week I would like to explore one particular passage in the book of Ephesians that can greatly aid you when you are faced with trials and tribul...

Herein are the explicit details related to your assurance that you are at peace with God. The book of Romans provides a precise, progressive outline of God’s plumb line relative as to how a person is saved. Once digested, they are also profoundly illuminating! The writer of Hebrews put it this way:  so great a salvation! (2:3).
