Genesis 18: "Abraham Prays for Lot" (Lot Saved from Defilement)
Genesis 19: "God Destroys Sodom and Gomorrah" (Lot Saved from Defilement)
Genesis 20: "Abraham Lies about Sarah" (Sarah Saved from Defilement)

Overview:
Lot's life of compromise contrasts with Abraham's life of faith. God spares Lot when destroying his town because of Abraham's fervent prayers. Yet, even Abraham sometimes stumbles, when he lies and calls Sarah his sister to protect himself from harm. He believed that the men would want to take Sarah and would harm him to take her. But Abraham did not need to act on his own. God was already protecting him.

- Erase hate
- They are very similar. What God did was physically impossible, yet it happened. Strangely, everything I listed as difficult miracles exists in heaven. What a wonderful place!

"Is anything too difficult for the Lord?"
