Capitol Ministries Weekly Bible Study

Who is qualified from a biblical perspective to be in leadership in God’s institution of the State?

Coach Wooden’s teams routinely achieved the highest pinnacles of success, in part, I believe, because of our attitudinal consistency. May I suggest that learning to control your thinking—and the emotions that stem from your thinking–will greatly benefit you too. 

My prayer and heartfelt desire is that these next months won’t end up damaging you as the mudslinging inevitably begins. So let’s make good choices in this regard, ones that are informed and buoyed by the Word of God. 

The November elections are quickly approaching, and everyone on the Hill has skin in the game which means emotions are running high. It’s so easy to express love and hate in a wrong way—especially in the context of an election. What do the Scriptures say you should love and hate? 

Proverbs reveals at least four things a public servant should do to delight God.

Here is the final of our 4-part series on How We Got The Bible.

This is the third of a four-part​ series on How We Got The Bible. For convenience, recognition of the New Testament canon by the church may be divided into three periods: (1) A.D. 70-170; (2) A.D. 170-303; and (3) A.D. 303- 397.1 This study will focus on the first period...

Our conscience is no better than what we are conscientious about. May the profound truths about the Third Person of the Trinity help to further mature you in the faith and strengthen your thinking, conscience, and ensuing actions. 

Proverbs has much to say about being a good steward of your heart. May we make time to take inventory and survey our hearts, motives, passions, pursuits, and future desires.

It stands to reason that spiritual leaders who minister to our government leaders are critically important to the health of the nation. 

Paul states in the opening portions of 1 Corinthians 13, without  love I am nothing . What then are the defining aspects of love that both you and I need to be continually working on and growing in? 

One of the most profound character qualities a man or woman in office can possess is  truthfulness –even when it affects him or her negatively. Truth is the bulwark of personal integrity. 

In the same-sex marriage debate, there is increasing reluctance by believers to mention the book of Leviticus. In this study, I will attempt not only to familiarize you with this book, but also explain how it impacts the debate. 

There is much more to marriage than personal happiness. When America in any way denigrates God’s ordained institution of husband-wife marriage, our nation loses one of His primary means of heralding His nature to our country!

The pressure is on. You—the believers in government—are the ones on the front lines of the battle. What I can do best to help you is to encourage you to be strong and courageous ! And how better to do that than to provide you with a fresh look at the book of Joshua, a man appointed by God to a similar kind of mission that would require his utmost.

What does the highest authority in the universe have to say about this matter—that authority being God Almighty as revealed in His Word? 

A biblically accurate, informed understanding of what the Scriptures say about sin is foundational as to how we view the world and is the proper remedy to national and international problems. 

How disciplined are you in your speech patterns? This week I would like to examine one of my favorite passages from the book of Ephesians that deals with God’s expectations of the way a believer speaks. This is really good stuff!  One’s mastery over his tongue is extremely important in public office. Let us open up Ephesians 4:29 this week and learn what God has to say to us in this regard. 

May God bless you as you seek to know Him better and study His attributes and character and live in obedience to His precepts. Amen. 

Let's view this study as a tool God can use in His own way and timing to help mature ua in Christ, bringing us into a more intimate, personal relationship in which these virtues are borne and honed. 

Genesis is foundational to a biblical worldview. Know the passages that follow, recognize their connection and integration, and allow that knowledge to guide and convict your thinking and actions. 

In today’s out-of-control competitive, combative environment of public elections, it is almost guaranteed that many false things will be said about you. How do you handle such things? Forgiveness can be a difficult discipline to practice but is an indispensable character quality that must be continually cultivated over a lifetime. Let’s examine what the Scriptures teach about this.

Proverbs is written by the head of a nation to advise his son who would soon take over his duties. What principles can we glean from the king’s advice to his son regarding how to best manage a country’s budget? I think you’ll find this study worth the time—a doubling down on this subject of fiscal responsibility. Here is God’s help and advice on how to tame the beast.
