In the many decades that have passed since the founding of the Christian Law Association, we have been singularly blessed by the Lord. Some would say that we have an astonishing record as we have labored to defend religious liberty in the United States.
Though we have been blessed with talented attorneys and a strong leadership team, we know that every legal success is a gift from God. “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning” (James 1:17).
When we have won legal battles, we know it is by the grace of God. We know it is because of the faithful prayers of people who carry our ministry and our cases in their heart. As an attorney in the nineteenth-century said, “Little prayer, little power; much prayer, much power.”
While we encourage Christian people to fulfill their civic duty, we understand that government is not the guarantor of our religious liberty. If you think that Washington, D. C. is the answer, you should know that they don’t even know the questions! It is God, and only God, who enables us to win legal victories.
The Psalmist was wise to write, “O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come” (Psalm 65:2). As we make our way through the new cases of this calendar year and as we continue working to finish legal cases from the past, we humbly ask you to keep us in your prayers. We can see firsthand how God steps in to help His children in ways that we could never have imagined, and we need His help, strength, and guidance.
We thank the Lord and honor Him for His undeserved blessings. We ask you to keep praying for God’s will to be done as we continue battling for the religious rights of God’s people here in these United States.
