What You Can Do To Help America (3 of 4)
PATRIOTIC SERIES
Stan Coffey
Today we are going to talk about what you can do to help America. We don't need people to put America down. We need people to lift America up in prayer to God. We need to understand it's our responsibility to help America be the nation that God wants her to be.
Let's look at Genesis 18, beginning with verse 23. This is the story of Abraham and Lot, how Abraham interceded for the city of Sodom.
