" B
efore being elected to the United States Congress,
I served in the new mexico state capitol. I only
wish there had been a stronger ministry there
when i served. Today, as our nation faces mounting
moral crises each day, i strongly believe in the
importance of the ministry of capitol ministries
which offers evangelism, discipleship, and in-depth
bible studies for our leaders and decision makers.
Capitol ministries
®
' bible studies take current issues
and examine them thoroughly from a biblical world
view. This is essential for legislators. The bible is
our society's moral underpinning and played a
vital role in all our systems from economics, to
government, business, and the courts. It is critical
for legislators to approach legislation and policy
with some type of consistent biblical yardstick."
