Human Trafficking is a supply and demand issue

If no one is buying sex, traffickers have no need to find a supply.

Project

God’s Word [email protected]://tstop.cwfa.org

God’s Supply is enough to meet the created demand

Psalm 36:5-7“Your love, O Lord, reaches to the heavens, your

faithfulness to the skies. Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your justice like the great deep. O Lord, you preserve both man and beast.

How priceless is your unfailing love!



Project



Discuss the seeming contradiction between the abundance of God’s love, grace, mercy, compassion,

and Justice and lack of it in the context of human trafficking.

Where is God’s love in the midst of pain and suffering?



Project


Question:

How does God’s endless supply of love get from His storehouse to the

need in our world?



Project


Pure Religion:

James 1:26-27

“If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he

deceives himself and his religion is worthless.” (NIV)



Project


Pure Religion:

James 1:26-27

“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself

from being polluted by the world.” (NIV)



Project


True Love:

1 John 3:16-18

“this is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us and we ought

to lay down our lives for our brothers.”



Project


True Love:

1 John 3:16-18

“If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him?”



Project


True Love:

1 John 3:16-18

“Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.”



Project


Living Faith:

James 2:14-17

“What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can

such faith save him?”



Project


Living Faith:

James 2:14-17

Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food.



Project


Living Faith:

James 2:14-17

If one of you says to him, “Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it?



Project


Living Faith:

James 2:14-17

In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.”



Project



Discuss the idea of “Pure Religion” in a “religious culture”

Discuss “True Love” in a culture flooded with “love” ideas.

Discuss “Living Faith” in a culture consumed with “Faith Debates” and Theological arguments
