INVITATION: Weekly meetings - in person + Zoom

Proverbs 15:22  Without counsel purposes (plans) are disappointed:
but in the multitude of counsellors they are established (plans succeed). 

Government needs more wisdom - YOUR wisdom

Meeting weekly with a state lawmaker will benefit you, the lawmaker, and your state.

The benefit to the lawmaker:

  • The lawmaker can explain complicated decisions to the group and ask the group to think about, discuss, and study them.
  • Political decisions must be not only about what is right, but about what the public will understand and support. Group discussions can establish both far better than a single lawmaker can.
  • When facts need to be established, presenting the need to a group will turn up individuals with the needed special knowledge, or who know who to approach, and how to approach them, who has the needed knowledge.
  • When the support of other lawmakers is needed, a group can help a lawmaker make contacts and win them over.
  • By reasoning with each other and progressing towards consensus with each other and with a lawmaker, the group will become much better informed than is possible from news articles geared to average readers, and that support for important but complicated details will make it possible for a lawmaker to take stands that get the details right.
  • "The devil is in the details." The devil needs to be driven out of the details. A lawmaker fighting for all the right details which bad people oppose and good people don't support because they don't understand them can accomplish nothing. But to the extent a group studies them together and supports the lawmaker's fight, the lawmaker is free to fight hard without worrying about losing the next election for doing the right thing.

The benefit to group members:

  • Members become better informed than is possible from news geared to average readers.
  • Members become able to do far more good than is possible from merely attending rallies, donating money and time, etc.
  • Members experience reasoning with each other even when they disagree in a setting of patience and love - a rare opportunity - which develops relationship skills valuable at home, at work, in defending our freedoms, and defending our faith.
  • Members fulfill the mandate of 1 Timothy 2:1-2 to not only pray for our leaders [so that we may lead an honest, godly life without going to jail], but to petition our representatives to base our laws upon the principles of Heaven instead of Hell, to intercede for those harmed by our public policies, and to thank lawmakers who serve us well. Following the lesson of James 2:14-17, members will do these things to the extent they can, rather than expect God to do what they can do so they can do nothing.]
