Like Job, God calls us to faithfulness, both personally and professionally, no matter what crises we may be encountering. May Job encourage you this week to stand firm and be rock-solid in your perseverance through the myriad of present national difficulties!

The study of epistemology uncovers what an individual relies on and what informs his thinking as to what’s right and wrong. Are his presuppositions valid? As we get older we subconsciously rely on our ingrained epistemological habits; we assume their validity. But again, are they right?
Wise are the individuals who can discern not only their own, but another’s epistemological presuppositions when analyzing something. Wise is the citizen who can discern a candidate’s epistemological presuppositions before casting his or her ballot. Heightening your awareness and abilities regarding “starting points” is what this Bible study is all about.

Many legislator and governing authorities simply go to church where their family has always gone. But as illustrated in the first chapters of the Book of Revelation, churches change — and so do pastors. This study — How to Choose a Good Pastor — will aid you in discernment when it comes to choosing a good, biblically-based spiritual coach for life.

In Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount He states, “You are the salt of the earth . . . You are the light of the world.” Often, well-meaning believers invoke this passage as a means of encouragement and prodding others to step up to the plate and affect the world.
In this study, I desire to provide you with a greater understanding of the Greek verb that Jesus uses: “You are.” It is not an imperative command; it is an indicative verb. This is a very important and necessary distinction to make as we seek to better understand what the Bible means by what it says. Such precision leads to proper, God-glorifying application to one’s life.

In this week's written study I would like to exhaust the Book of Proverbs regarding everything Proverbs mentions about choosing counselors in your life. What follows is all that Solomon taught Rehoboam, his son, about this subject in preparation for him to become the next governing leader of Israel. Solomon has much to say about a political leader selecting confidants.

Good legislation is important, but men and women can hardly be expected to make policies in accordance with sound, biblically-based principles if they are at odds with the author of Scripture. Only the Gospel has the efficacy to change a heart. We believe that foremost in the Capital Community is the objective of evangelizing and discipling political leaders. We need more disciplers!
Consider whether there is a biblical basis or calling to minister to political leaders. If so, how important is this in the mind of God? I think you may be in for a surprise!
