REMOVE NOT THE LANDMARKS
Text: Proverbs 22:28 Isa. 60:12
In our day and time we are fastly losing the landmarks which were set before us.
Men fought and die for what they believed to right. When this country was founded there were certain landmarks which were set up by our forefathers.
I would like for us to see this morning some of the landmarks that have been torn down that our fathers have set up.
I. The Landmarks in Government and Nation
A. Our nation was not founded on....provolity (For Drinking, Partying, Lawlessness, Etc.
But it was founded so that you and I could go to church.
God has blessed the United States of America because He said,
"I will bless a nation whose God is the Lord"
But I want you to know that this is slowly coming to a halt. He is no longer there God.
No other nation has been blessed, other than Israel, like the U.S. and I know the reason why.
1. This nation was founded in faith not in provolity.
2. This nation was baptized in Blood, not in Bud or Coors or Jack Daniels.
3. This nation was Dedicated to the Freedom of worship.
B. We need to return to a since of gratitude for what God has done for our nation.
You see we have come a long way from Plymouth Rock.
Take Thanksgiving for example.

II. Not only in government but we nee to have the landmarks returned to our homes.
We need to return to a since of responsibility in our homes.
A. Dad’s being the head of the homes.
That means to be a leader not a dictator
