Vision
According to the LCF website, its members aim "to act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God" (Micah 6:8). They state that through Biblical principles their vision has been constructed: uniting and equipping Christian lawyers in their common calling; witnessing to the Gospel through evangelism; taking action to uphold justice; and building unity through fellowship, prayer and the fellowship's commonly held beliefs. It means ensuring that a body of Christian lawyers will be well placed to give everyone in the legal profession the opportunity to hear and respond to the Gospel.
The LCF also believes in enabling its members through information, teaching, and support to fulfill their full potential as lawyers for Christ. They believe in witnessing to the legal profession by speaking of the Christian gospel and demonstrating God’s character of justice and compassion by upholding Christian values in the administration of law at home and overseas.

Famous quotes containing the word vision:
“For what we call illusions are often, in truth, a wider vision of past and present realities—a willing movement of a man’s soul with the larger sweep of the world’s forces—a movement towards a more assured end than the chances of a single life.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“Redeem
The time. Redeem.
The unread vision in the higher dream
While jewelled unicorns draw by the gilded hearse.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“At last a vision has been vouchsafed to us of our life as a whole. We see the bad with the good.... With this vision we approach new affairs. Our duty is to cleanse, to reconsider, to restore, to correct the evil without impairing the good, to purify and humanize every process of our common life, without weakening or sentimentalizing it.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
