America's Roots

As America pauses for the Fourth of July, many will stop and recall the great history of this nation and remember the sacrifices so many made that we might enjoy the freedoms we have today. Some will trace our history back to the Revolutionary War, back to the Pilgrims, or even back to Christopher Columbus. But America’s roots go back much further than 1492. The story of America is a key part of God’s plan, and we can trace its roots, and its future, from Genesis to Revelation.
