Capitol Ministries Weekly Bible Study

Given what’s happening in Israel, I think it is timely to provide this two-part series on Israel—from a Bible teacher’s perspective. Can you immediately and cogently reason from Scripture why America should be committed to Israel? By way of introduction, I believe that in a reaping and sowing sense America has wonderfully prospered because our cultural foundation stems from all that Israel has his...

Proverbs 14:34 contains a sound political maxim, the simplicity of which is often overlooked: personal righteousness in the population—both in citizens and leaders—is the single most important commodity that any country can possess! This virtue, states Solomon, is preeminent to everything else, because Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people. Get Involved! • CapMin.org/L...

American elections are way too nasty. Political ads and campaign speeches are filled with attacks, condemnations, criticisms, verbal assaults, unproven accusations, and even false charges that candidates from all major political parties— including incumbents—lob at each other. Our Constitution guarantees us free speech, but that right should never be taken as a license to slander. Like falsely yel...

When we possess a personal relationship with God via the regenerating work of Jesus Christ on our behalf, we become indwelled by the Holy Spirit, who simultaneously leads us into all truth. Such is not the case with the unregenerate—as Ephesians 4:17–20, this week’s passage serves to illustrate! After you study what follows, you will not be so surprised as to why non-believers so often vote the wa...

Secular journalists, liberal theologians, and bloggers have recently concocted the term “Christian Nationalist.” With a broad brush they are branding many well-meaning Christians serving in public office with this newly coined pejorative in an attempt to marginalize their influence in the public square. What is a Christian Nationalist? Is every Evangelical in office a Christian Nationalist? What d...

The Bible clearly teaches that today there is to be an institutional separation of Church and State. To think otherwise is to believe in a theocratic or sacerdotal form of government. What the Bible does NOT teach—and what the secularist would like to say the U.S. Constitution supports—is an influential separation of Church and State. However, such thinking is not supported in the Constitution or...

We will observe the important scriptural differentiation between intellectual assent only versus that intellectual understanding that is the pathway to a volitional commitment of the will to Christ. Hopefully, by the end of the study, you will have a clearer and better understanding of this distinction.

God’s Word has much to say about the matters of government and economics.

Read with me as we attempt to peer into Paul’s mind on how to overcome adversities. I think you’ll find it fascinating, arresting, and quite helpful and, as I am praying, also encouraging for you. Every believer is called by Christ to a purpose, and for you, it is to the political realm. What may look to you like defeats may be a part of His divine plan.

In this study, “Gaining an Increasing Personal Sensitivity to Arrogance,” I want to examine the subject of humility from at least four of its scriptural characteristics: its Enemy, its Example, its Expression and its End. I think you will find this study to be quite instructive in your relationship to God, others, and self. My prayer remains constant that what follows from God’s inspired Word will...

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.

What is universalism? On all matters of faith and practice, do we submit our preconceived ideas, political beliefs, and manifest actions to the authority of God’s Word, or is God’s Word secondary to opinions of “Dr. Wellithink”?

How does a political leader best live above reproach when serving in public office? What does the Word of God teach us about this subject? Should a sitting elected official live every day in anxiety, worrying about people in basements who are plotting to spin information to damage their opponents? Let’s search the Scriptures on this matter and see what God has for us.

While some churches teach that believers should be involved only in evangelism and abstain from a career in politics, that’s not what the Bible teaches. “You are the salt of the earth…” and “You are the light of the world…” (Matthew 5:13, 14) indicate that all believers are to have a here-and-now influence in addition to evangelism and discipleship. What follows are the biblical arguments for part...

Are only Jesus’ words worth reading? Should those who are followers of Christ mind only His words spoken while He was in His physical body? What about the other writers who authored the books of the New Testament? Are their books inspired and authoritative?

Ephesians is worth mastering for the sake of personal edification and wisdom in policy making. Be intent to learn the mind of God from His Book!

In a biblical sense, have you ever thought about what the Bible identifies as the characteristics of an honorable person?

When you and I take into consideration these three scriptural insights, we limit our risks relative to elevating a person who will hurt rather than heal our nation.

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 h...

If the difference between capitalism and communism is clear—one is based on scriptural truth, and the other is not—can you articulate a pro-property rights/capitalism position from Scripture?

Learn the testimony of modern biblical archaeology: the evidence for the veracity and trustworthiness of the Bible is compelling and overwhelming!

Tychicus was a man who was faithful to God and to others. Subsequently, God blessed and strengthened him. Paul noticed his faithfulness and entrusted him with the most important of tasks: personally delivering original autographa of Scripture over hundreds of miles of perilous journey! Why? He was deemed faithful —reliable and trustworthy! Are you deemed faithful both by God and your peers?

This week we look at the five institutions that were created by God and revealed in the Bible, and especially the role that God meant for government. This study will provide you with great and immediate discernment and a keen perspective that will inform your judgment on policy issues.

Do you want to be powerful in D.C.? Do you want to change the direction America is headed? Do you want to make your time on the Hill count? As a believer, you will be strengthened with God's power to the degree that you are obedient to His will.

May these biblical guidelines serve the conscience of the public servant in his or her quest for fiscal reform of our great nation.
