Capitol Bible Study: "A Matter of Life and Death in the Capitol"

From this week's Bible study at the West Virginia statehouse, "A Matter of Life and Death in the Capitol":


"For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain."

Philippians 1:21

In this amazing statement, we see that being a follower of Jesus Christ, living as a citizen of heaven, is indeed a matter of life and death. The supremacy of Christ is what filled and dominated Paul’s life. The desire to be with Christ gave him comfort and encouragement to face and even relish his own death. In a world like that of the statehouse and politics which can easily consume our values and priorities, it will be helpful to concentrate on this verse that reminds us that each of us faces a matter of life and death.
