In a way, January marks the end of a busy season. The election season is over, Thanksgiving has come and gone, and the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season has become a memory to be treasured. In January, the air is crisp, and we have high hopes for the New Year!
Here at the Christian Law Association, we are filled with energy and excitement as we face the challenges of a new year, but we are also diligently working through cases that are winding their way through the system.
When the political landscape changes in America, it can make it easier or harder to defend the religious liberty of God’s people. But regardless of what happens in the political world, there is always a large group of people who try to hinder the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ by filing baseless lawsuits against churches and Christian organizations, people who knowingly push for policies that are clearly illegal, just because they think they can get away with it.
We are eager and excited to continue our pursuit of religious liberty for Bible-preaching churches, religious liberty in the workplace for Christians who face discrimination based solely on their faith, and religious liberty for Christian students who do not forfeit their First Amendment rights when they enter a classroom.
Yet we know our labor is in vain without the blessing of our Lord. We ask that you keep us in your prayers. Whether the nation turns more towards the political right or towards the political left, we still battle in courtrooms in front of judges with lifetime appointments; and these judges represent a wide variety of worldviews. We are in need of constant wisdom as we defend the religious liberty of God’s people.
We wish you are very happy New Year. May 2025 be outstanding in every way for you and yours. And do remember the cases in your prayers. Many of God’s finest servants have heavy hearts as their cases drag through the legal system. It is our goal to pursue legal victory for these people—but we also want to keep them encouraged so they can faithfully serve our Lord during times of trial.
