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:
“No sooner does a great man depart, and leave his character as public property, than a crowd of little men rushes towards it. There they are gathered together, blinking up to it with such vision as they have, scanning it from afar, hovering round it this way and that, each cunningly endeavouring, by all arts, to catch some reflex of it in the little mirror of himself.”
—Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
“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)
“Would not some lightning flash of vision sear people’s consciousness into life again? What was the good of stopping the war if armies continued?”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
