The Preacher's Monthly Genesis 12:10-20 And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land.… 1. Here is faith in conflict with natural disappointment. "There was a famine in the land, and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there." 2. Faith is here in conflict with, and is overcome by, fear and affection. "He said unto Sarai his wife, Behold, I know that thou art a fair woman," etc. 3. Faith is here seen in conflict with a false expediency. "Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister," etc. (The Preacher's Monthly.)
