About LCRL
The Center provides input, education, advice, advocacy,and resources in the areas of life, marriage and religious liberty and seeks to engage in discussions in Washington, D.C., to establish partnerships and resources in our nation’s Capital for the sake of our churches, schools, universities, and seminaries.
The Lutheran Center for Religious Liberty advocates for you, educates God’s people, and encourages public officials concerning the issues of religious liberty, the sanctity of life, the institution of marriage, and educational freedom from a biblical perspective.
We can dynamically participate in government, or in public affairs by differentiating God’s preserving work, His curbing of evil work from His saving work through Christ ALONE!
God creates a civil, ordered society through people exercising their “vocations” faithfully….i.e. Honor/respect parental authority? YES, it’s good for you, it’s good for the neighborhood too!
Though distinct, Church and State are under God's authority, and function best when honoring God’s directives for each. As we engage culture for the sake of our mission, we seek to be “useful” in God’s hands on God’s terms for others.
Amazingly! God preserves the world even through sinful, even unbelieving people “trying to do what’s right.” When it comes to God’s Left-Hand Kingdom, penultimate, preserving work, we humbly engage our community with an attitude of “restraint,” seeing first what God is already doing to create temporal civility and peace. Preserving work doesn’t “save,” but a just and civil society makes it possible for ALL to hear the saving Gospel of Jesus freely for themselves.
We should honor elected officials, but even more so we must be honorable citizens ourselves. We seek to honor and respect those who lead us, but our ultimate faith is in Christ ALONE. Jesus himself shows us how to “honor the Father’s preserving Work” even as He saves us by grace alone through faith!
Jesus saves! and He honors the Father’s will to do it. Sometimes that means that one must submit to imperfect authorities to preserve peace and to accomplish the “greater” good.
