Our Bible Studies 43 "I lead a Local Government Ministries Bible study in greater Austin, Texas, and in just a few months God has raised up faithful leaders in Lockhart. Reading the same Bible studies the same time they are taught to our Washington, D.C., leaders is encouraging. Isaiah 55:11 promises that His Word will accomplish what He desires. What will God do in the coming decades as we unleash the Word of God to local government leaders throughout our nation?"

In our weekly Bible studies, ministry leaders drill down deep so public servants will develop a biblical worldview that will serve them well in their personal lives, as well as in their decisions as policy makers. Legislators and constitutional officers attend the legislative Bible studies. Separate studies are created for staff. Local city and county public servants read Bible studies from Ralph Drollinger's book, Oaks in Of- fice: Essential Bible Studies for Political Leaders. ese studies provide a steady diet of sound biblical doc- trine. ey are among the most pertinent studies that Ralph has written for political public servants over the course of decades. e studies help to create a strong spiritual foundation, shape character, and aid the public servant as he matures in the faith. Every week, Ralph teaches three separate compre- hensive studies on books of the Bible to U.S. sena- tors and representatives in Washington, D.C., and a third study on an Internet platform to former White House Cabinet and senior staff members. He also distributes one written study every week that exam- ines crucial contemporary issues through the time- less lens of Scripture. ese written studies include, "God's View on Babies Inside and Outside the Womb," "Scripture's Clear and Convincing Case Crushes the Same-Sex Marriage Debate," "e Remedy for Racism," "Solomon on Debt Solutions," and "Coming to Grips with the Religion of Environmentalism." e studies have also been translated into Spanish, Russian, French, Portuguese so ministry leaders in other nations may teach them to their elected and appointed political leaders in their native languages. e ministry objective is to create mighty oaks in office—men and women whose roots are grounded in Scripture, which will enable them to stand strong in God's Word amid the winds of political adversity.
