A Bible Timeline Chart Presents A Graphic Way To Help Teach Bible Events And Facts
In our Bible class years ago, a lady who had been a Christian and worked in the local Church for many years, said,"Yes, but Abraham had the Law and so he understood about......" (they were not referring to the pre-Moses law) I wonder how many Christians would actually pick up the error in this claim. Moses came about some 500 years after Abraham and so it is an impossibility. I have since put together a Biblical timeline chart and explained in a more graphic way the chronology of men and women and occasions.
Alas, a large number of preachers and Bible teachers in our churches go on and preach flimsy, shallow, light weight, superficial messages and their Church members barely grow in biblical knowledge. Preachers love to give us'moral essays' and'warming affirmations' because supposedly, if we really love our people this is what we will do. Regrettable it seems, if God's people are falling through the cracks'for an absence of knowledge' as long as we are positive and loving to all. In reality, the more like this world, the less relevant we are to this world.
Years ago, I was speaking on the burial, life, resurrection and death of Jesus, and a retired minister and strong preacher of Scripture, who had been in the ministry for forty years, came to me and reproved me smartly over some interesting points I made and he remarked 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 humbly asked him if I was saying anything of a heretical nature in any way, to which he answered"No". I continued to spell out that in the case of that particular Scripture, it was not speaking to exploring Scripture but to the false teachings and school of thought of the Gnostics, but he would not have it. So, how can a forty year preacher & laborer in the Gospel, not know and understand about a thing that probably half the books of the New Testament discuss?
How can he understand and preach the Bible in fullness without knowing about 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 interpret their Bible properly, if they're not informed?
Why is it that we dwell on our pet subjects and sugar coated messages?
We instruct on a text from Revelation and a narrative about Peter and a topic from the book of Mark and then the faith of Ezra or the miracles of Jesus - bits from here and all over, but we do not put it all at once in a visible understandable, easy to remember, perspective with a good Bible TimeLine with Church History as well. Constantly we are bombarded with new books, modernist ideas, a few of them hazardously edging toward Liberal doctrine, but if we could be instructed the basic principles of Church history, we then would not be so doomed to repeat it.
Let's us as tutors and preachers stitch together the fragments of the Bible and His plan into a seamless tapestry that our people are able to draw on for the rest of life, to help them to understand God, His Eternal Plan, the role 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 are ready to put in a bit of study with prayer and fervor, and just maybe you can utilize a Bible Timeline also.
