Landmarks in the Bible is a picture of having a conviction of having a boundary of saying I'm not going to cross
This boundary landmarks in the in the Bible in the Old Testament are a picture of your separation for neighbors
So today we have a lot of harsh landmarks like a physical fence or something that delineates your boundaries
But in the olden times they might just have a tree
It might be from like the tree to the rock
And it's basically like from that side is your part of the land on this side is my part of land
right now in modern times we have a lot of fences that kind of
Measure those areas the Bible has a proverb here commanding you not to remove landmarks. Look what it says in verse 28
Remove not the ancient landmark
which thy fathers have said so a wicked sin would be to come to your neighbor's yard and
Pick up the rock and just like chunk it and be like look my house my yard got bigger
But
Wouldn't people do they go out in the night and they move the fence posts they move
So that's why you need a trees or landmark. All right, it's a lot harder to move, but they'd have rocks fence posts something
That's movable. They pick up that landmark. They move it to try and increase their border and they're stealing that land. That's a physical
Application a spiritual application is people that compromise on doctrine and their convictions
They move the ancient landmarks that have been set
The Bible says if the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do the Bible says in Deuteronomy 19?
Thou shalt not remove thy neighbor's landmark. So according the Bible, we're not supposed to remove the landmarks that we have set
What's a landmark like the King James Bibles the Word of God in English for us?
You say what Bible are you gonna use 20 years from now this one?
50 years this one. Hey, we're not changing from this book. Here's another landmark that I set up always going soul-winning
I'm always gonna use the King James Bible and I'm always gonna go so winning in my life
I don't want to remove that landmark
How long are you in two opinions? Well, I don't know if so winning works. I've already figured out it does
Well, I don't know if they're gonna come to church who cares
Well
Doesn't matter just keep preaching the gospel. How can you think there's anything better than preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ?
He saved you you've read the Bible, you know, that's the power of God
Well, I think there's more important things to do with my time like what?
How long halt you between two opinions
Look, we've already made up our mind. We already decided soul winnings the principal thing
We already decided the first works and we're never gonna stop it. It's what makes all of our decisions for us
Hey, if we're gonna make a decision that stops all winning bad decision
Hey, where do you want your church to be soul-winning?
Hey, what's your what time should we meet soul-winning what Bible should we use soul-winning?
What decisions we make for the church message soul-winning soul-winning soul-winning soul-winning. We've already made that landmark. We're not gonna remove it
Well, how are we gonna have choir practice soul-winning?
What about the Sunday school soul-winning
What about the Tuesday night cell groups soul-winning
It's already made our decisions for us follow up soul-winning
Show me a follow-up verse in the Bible and then I'll believe it
The Bible says daily in the temple and in every house they cease not to teach and preach Jesus Christ
Look, I've already set landmarks. I'm not gonna let someone come and just kind of move it a little bit
Well, I know so winning is important. I know is there before but let's just kind of we got some other stuff
Let's just kind of bump it a little bit. Let's just kind of keep moving it. No
We're gonna not remove that landmark and when you start moving landmarks you start not being able to make decisions
