This week:
Justice

Laws are meant to protect life.

Governments are meant to do justice, protecting the vulnerable against those who might harm them.

But 300,000 vulnerable unborn lives are taken each year, funded by the state. Abortion centres are run like businesses – they’ve been set targets to hit higher numbers of abortions.

And if assisted suicide becomes legal, we will have a state-sponsored suicide service offering cheap deaths to people whose medical treatment is costly.

Watch Andrea’s message, find out how we’re advocating for justice and pray with us for our nation.

Pray with us

  • 23 Mar

    Give thanks for the criminal justice system and the way that it has been shaped by Biblical law. Pray that we will maintain and recover Christian principles of justice that vindicate the innocent, restore the victim and punish and rehabilitate the guilty.

  • 24 Mar

    Give thanks for family courts that seek to arbitrate in difficult and often tragic cases. Pray that they would better uphold the value of life by no longer enforcing death on the grounds that it is in a patient's 'best interests'.

  • 25 Mar

    Give thanks that employment tribunals give employees, including many Christian Legal centre clients, an opportunity to redress wrongs by employers. Pray that judges and panel members would consider evidence carefully and bring swift, unbiased justice to those before them.

  • 26 Mar

    Give thanks for civil courts that seek to bring justice to noncriminal disputes between people and businesses. Pray that judges will have insight and that our laws would reflect the wisdom of God demonstrated in the Bible's case laws.

  • 27 Mar

    Give thanks for police forces as they seek to maintain the peace and enforce justice. Pray that they will not be sidetracked by laws or policies that favour some groups over others, or distract them from addressing the most serious crimes.

  • 28 Mar

    Give thanks for security services as they seek to protect the public from terrorist activities. Pray that God would give them heavenly insight into these threats and the courage to address them with precision, fairness and success.

  • 29 Mar

    Give thanks for members of the armed forces who have borne the sword (Rom 13:4) in line with their Christian faith, even to the risk of their lives. Pray that God would give them the wisdom and courage always to do good.
