A Biblical Timeline Banner Gives A Graphic Representation To Help Teach Biblical Events And Characters And Facts
In our weekly Bible class some years ago, one person who had been a Christian and laboured in the local Church for years, asserted that,"Yes, but Abraham had the Law and so he understood about......" (they were not referring to the pre-mosaic law) I wonder just how many Christians will really notice the error in this claim. Moses came about 500 years after Abraham and so it is not possible. I have since then put together a Biblical chronology chart and explained visually the dating of men and women and events.
Unfortunately, a large number of preachers and teachers in our churches go on and preach flimsy, shallow, light weight, superficial sermons and their Church members hardly grow in Bible knowledge. Preachers love to preach'moral essays' and'warming affirmations' because supposedly, if we love people this is what we'll do. Too bad it seems, if God's people are falling through the cracks'for a lack of knowledge' as long as we're positive and loving to all. In truth, the more like this world, the less relevant we're to this world.
Some years ago, I was speaking on the burial, death, resurrection and life of Jesus, and a retired pastor and strong preacher of the Bible, who had been a minister for forty years, came up and reproved me vigorously over some fascinating points I made and he said 1Ti 1:4'Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.' I quietly asked him if I had been teaching anything of a heretical nature in any way, to which he answered"No". I continued to describe that in the case of that particular verse, it was not speaking to exploring the Bible but to the false teachings and philosophy of the Gnostics, but he would not have it. Let me ask, how can a forty year preacher & worker in the Gospel, not understand and know about a thing that probably 1/2 the books of the New Testament discuss?
How could he study and preach the Bible clearly without being familiar with a thing that was so influential in the New Testament church? And then how can the congregation hope to understand these things and be in a position to understand their Bible effectively, if they're not told?
Why do we dwell on our favorite subjects and feel good preaching?
We preach on a text from Phillipians and a story about Luke and a theme from the book of Jeremiah and then the obedience of John or the miracles through Paul - bits from here and there, but we do not put it all at once in an apparent understandable, simple to remember, perspective with a capable Bible TimeLine with Church History as well. Constantly we're bombarded with new books, modernist ideas, a number of them dangerously leaning toward Liberal theology, but if we could be taught the fundamental principles of Church history, we then would not be so doomed to do the same again.
Let's us as tutors and preachers stitch together the aspects of the Bible and His plan into a logical whole that our people are able to draw on for the remainder of their lives, to help them to understand God, His Eternal Plan, the role of the Church and ways to better interpret the Bible to live by.
It is not difficult to do, and it is not boring if we're ready to put in a bit of study and prayer and fervor, and just perhaps you can make use of a Bible Timeline too.
