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:
“I want you to consider this distinction as you go forward in life. Being male is not enough; being a man is a right to be earned and an honor to be cherished. I cannot tell you how to earn that right or deserve that honor. . . but I can tell you that the formation of your manhood must be a conscious act governed by the highest vision of the man you want to be.”
—Kent Nerburn (20th century)
“In the works of man, everything is as poor as its author; vision is confined, means are limited, scope is restricted, movements are labored, and results are humdrum.”
—Joseph De Maistre (1753–1821)
“Redeem
The time. Redeem.
The unread vision in the higher dream
While jewelled unicorns draw by the gilded hearse.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
