The faith of Abel, who offered a better sacrifice. The perseverance of Noah, who endured ridicule yet prepared an ark by faith. The obedience of Abraham, who left all for a promise unseen. The wrestling of Jacob, whose name was changed to Israel when he prevailed with God. The steadfastness of Daniel, who would rather face lions than compromise.

The true watchman must learn to stand alone if necessary, unmoved by the compromises of the multitude, and ready to sound the alarm even when it is unpopular.
