What follows is a short primer on the Christian worldview of capital punishment.

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.

One of the huge problems of an increasingly secularized American government is the belief that civil government is the trunk of the tree in society and culture. Scripture portrays a very different view: God is the trunk of the tree, and government is but one of its five branches...

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!

God knows that personal ownership of private property is fundamental to every individual's ability to express his best possible self as a reflection of his being created in God's image (I will unpack that idea in this study). In addition, private property rights are fundamental to personal and national fruitfulness (we will see examples of this in what follows also). So read on, my friend, and learn more about how you can justify such beliefs based upon what God has said in His Word.

One of the most volatile policy issues of our times relates to a fundamental disagreement as to how a nation should approach entitlements. Entitlement programs now devour the majority of the U.S. federal government’s budget. What you know too is that that the nation is now nearly $20 trillion dollars in debt and growing rapidly at an uncontrollable rate.
What do the Scriptures have to say about such allocative decisions and policy? In a pre-political sense, how can the Bible be used to inform the Public Servant in this regard? Does God speak to this issue? I believe the answer is a resounding "Yes!"

America's entitlement program policies are now hugely coming to roost on the doorsteps of the U.S. Treasury. Given this crisis, what wisdom can we glean from God's Word that could aid us in solving the problem? May God use this Bible study in that regard.
At the conclusion of this study I will list five biblically-based ways that civil
government (apart from direct entitlement programs) should aggressively aid its people (albeit indirectly) to overcome poverty...
