We run because every step has a purpose. Sex trafficking is a billion-dollar industry that preys on the vulnerable, but together we can push back against it. Every mile we cover helps raise awareness and funds to support women breaking free from trafficking.

Text RUN to 59090 or visit justicerun.com for more information.

Join us, and let’s run with purpose, run with passion, and run for freedom!

John 8:31-47
BSB
31 So He said to the Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, you are truly My disciples.
32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
33 “We are Abraham’s descendants,” they answered. “We have never been slaves to anyone. How can You say we will be set free?”
34 Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin.
35 A slave is not a permanent member of the family, but a son belongs to it forever.
36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
37 I know you are Abraham’s descendants, but you are trying to kill Me because My word has no place within you.
38 I speak of what I have seen in the presence of the Father, and you do what you have heard from your father.”
39 “Abraham is our father,” they replied. “If you were children of Abraham,” said Jesus, “you would do the works of Abraham.
40 But now you are trying to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham never did such a thing.
41 You are doing the works of your father.” “We are not illegitimate children,” they declared. “Our only Father is God Himself.”
42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I have come here from God. I have not come on My own, but He sent Me.
43 Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you are unable to accept My message.
44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out his desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, refusing to uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, because he is a liar and the father of lies.
45 But because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me!
46 Which of you can prove Me guilty of sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe Me?
47 Whoever belongs to God hears the words of God. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.”

Genesis 3:1-7
BSB
1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field that the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden?’”
2 The woman answered the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden,
3 but about the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden, God has said, ‘You must not eat of it or touch it, or you will die.’”
4 “You will not surely die,” the serpent told her.
5 “For God knows that in the day you eat of it, your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
6 When the woman saw that the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eyes, and that it was desirable for obtaining wisdom, she took the fruit and ate it. She also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate it.
7 And the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; so they sewed together fig leaves and made coverings for themselves.

1 Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property.
2 With his wife’s full knowledge, he kept back some of the proceeds for himself, but brought a portion and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
3 Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and withhold some of the proceeds from the land?
4 Did it not belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? How could you conceive such a deed in your heart? You have not lied to men, but to God!”
5 On hearing these words, Ananias fell down and died. And great fear came over all who heard what had happened.
BSB
PATTERN OF HOW PEOPLE LIE IN THIS PASSAGE

LYING TO PEOPLE
V.2 “THEY LAID IT AT THE APOSTLES FEET”

LYING TO GOD
V.4 “YOU HAVE NOT LIED TO MAN BUT TO GOD”

LYING TO YOURSELF
V.5 “WHY IS IT THAT YOU HAVE CONTRIVED THIS DEED IN YOUR HEART?
EVERYTIME YOU LIE TO YOURSELF YOU END UP LYING TO GOD AND TO PEOPLE
LYING HURTS THE HEART OF GOD, IT HURTS PEOPLE, AND IT HURTS YOURSELF
John 8:44
