11:3-12 - Here are some specific examples from saints of the past who
have proven this principle of faith. 11:6 linked with 11:1 above have
been used much by NT saints. The Navigator's TMS (Topical Memory
System) recognized the value of these verses. Both Testaments and
Covenants have proved this principle to be true.</p>

In 1960 I preached through the Bible in a Year at the First Baptist
Church of Round Lake, Illinois - following the example of Dr. J.
Vernon McGee. On Wednesday night I gave an outline for the reading of
the week; on Sunday morning, the leading theme of the book under
consideration; and on Sunday night, the leading chapter or character.
Seldom have I ever been under such consistent pressure in all my
life. It was a break when this assignment was completed.</p>

<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">Then
I questioned the congregation of some 200 - “Who was your favorite
OT character? Abraham? Moses? others?” Men responded, but not the
women. I finally asked them specifically for their choice. “Why
not Abraham?” I asked. “Any man who suggests to his wife that she
was his sister and became the possibility of a rape - no - not him!”
they replied. “Who then?” I asked. “Noah!” they assuredly
answered. “How come him?” I queried. “Any husband who labored
120 years to build an ark to save his wife and family, is indeed a
worthy husband!” came back to me. “I would never have thought of
looking at it </span></span><u><span style="">that</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
way,” I responded. “That's because you're a man!” - effectively
put me in my place!</span></span></p>
