The Real Majority

It is generally recognized that 96% of Americans celebrate Christmas.  For one wondrous season, the overwhelming majority of people in the most powerful nation on earth pause to recognize God’s most precious gift to the world—His only Son, a baby sent to earth and born to die for our sins.  Granted, not all Americans celebrate Christmas for the same reason.  As families gather and gifts are opened, some are unaware that this holiday celebrates the First Gift of the One who would ultimately bring salvation to the world. 

This 96% statistic is surprising to many.  During the past decade, Americans have been led to believe that the public celebration of Christmas somehow undermines American values of diversity and pluralism.  The politically correct crowd sees no particular merit in lifting up Christmas over other holidays that are celebrated by only a handful of Americans.

CLA Assisting Soul Winners Nationwide

Continue to pray for several Florida Christians, whose cases are on appeal after they were arrested while witnessing at a gay rights event.

Pray for a Texas man who was arrested and falsely charged with intoxication while preaching on a public street. 

Pray for soul winners in New Hampshire and in Tennessee who have been criminally cited for public preaching and handing out tracts.

Pray for a soul winner in Georgia who has been told he may not pass out tracts in a city public park without paying for and obtaining a permit.

Praise the Lord that attorneys for CLA were able to have charges dismissed against a soul winner who was distributing tracts at a university in Ohio.

Please pray as attorneys for CLA challenge restrictions on tract distribution at a civic center location in Georgia.

This Christmas, the Christian Law Association's attorneys have prepared a special series of videos to address some of the most frequently asked questions fielded by our office.  "Is it illegal for my community to include religious symbols in its Christmas holiday celebrations?"  "Can Christian teachers in public schools legally teach students the true origin of Christmas?" "Can I say 'Merry Christmas' to co-workers at the office?"  These and many other commonly asked questions are answered by Attorney David Gibbs III in this informative video series available exclusively on www.christianlaw.org!

From an Illinois professor and pro life advocate:

Thank you for the Fighting for Dear Life book.  You've really been on the frontline of the right-to-life movement.  Keep up the good work.  Your efforts are making an important difference.

From a Florida Christian school administrator:

Thank you SO MUCH for the material you have developed.  I appreciate your ministry more than you can know.  God bless you and the firm.

From a Florida day care provider:

Excellent service and turnaround time in response to our need.  Very gracious and personable.

"The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.”  -James 5:16.

Capitol Prayer is a new program the Christian Law Association is launching for 2009.  Please begin to pray now about participating in this important effort to beseech God to intervene and save America from the destructive cultural influences in our land.  While our attorneys continue to fight in our nation’s courtrooms for religion and morality in America, we realize that the legal tide is turning against us.  We believe that without God’s return to our courtrooms, our nation cannot long survive.

Capitol Prayer is a CLA-led initiative to cover our nation with prayer, extending out from our nation’s capitol, 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year.  This initiative will be launched on January 1, 2009.  We are telling you about this new program now so that you and your church will have some lead time to plan how you can become involved.
