A Bible Timeline Banner Presents A Creative Mode To Aid And Help Bible Events And Characters And Principles
In our Sunday Bible study years ago, somebody, who had been a Christian and worked in the Church for over 15 years, said,"Yes, but Abraham had the Law and so he understood about......" (they were not talking about the pre-Moses law) I wonder how many Christians will really notice the inaccuracy in this assertion. Moses came about 500 years after Abraham and so it is not possible. I have since compiled a Bible history timeline and shown visually the chronology of people and events.
Unfortunately, a large number of Pastors and teachers in our churches go on and preach superficial, light weight, shallow, flimsy messages and their Church members hardly grow in Bible knowledge and understanding. Preachers love to preach'moral essays' and'warming affirmations' because supposedly, if we truly love people this is what we'll do. Too bad it seems, if God's men and women are falling through the cracks'for an absence of knowledge' so long as we're nice and loving to all. In truth, the more like the world, the less relevant we're to the world.
Years ago, I was preaching on the death, life, resurrection and burial of Jesus Christ, and a retired minister and strong preacher of the Gospel, who had been in the ministry for 40 years, came up and reproved me vigorously over some interesting points I made and he mentioned 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 was teaching anything of a heretical nature in any way, to which he said"No". I continued to spell out that in the case of that particular Scripture, it wasn't speaking to examining the Bible but to the false teachings and philosophy of Gnosticism, but he would not have it. Let me ask, how can a 40 year preacher & laborer in the Gospel, not know and understand about something that possibly half the books of the New Testament discuss?
How could he study and preach the Bible fully without being aware of something that was so influential in the New Testament church? And then how can the congregation hope to understand these things and be able to understand their Bible well, if they are not told?
Why is it that we get stuck in a rut of our pet topics and feel good messages?
We instruct on a verse from Judges and a narrative about Luke and a theme from the book of Luke and then the example of Paul or the miracles through Paul - bits from here and all over, but we do not put it all at once in an obvious understandable, easy to remember, perspective with a decent Bible TimeLine including Church History as well. Constantly we're bombarded with new books, modernist ideas, some of them dangerously leaning toward Progressive thinking, when if we could be instructed the basics of Church history, we then would not be so bound to do the same again.
Let's us as teachers and preachers sew together the fragments of God's Word and God's plan into a logical whole that our people can draw on for the remainder of their lives, helping them to understand God, His Eternal Plan, the function of the Church and how to better translate the Bible to order our lives by.
It is not difficult to do, and it is not boring if we're prepared to put in a bit of effort prayer and fervor, and just possibly you can make use of a Bible Timeline also.
