A Bible Timeline Banner Gives A Graphic Way To Help Teach Bible Events And Characters And Principles
In our Sunday Bible study years ago, one person who had been a Christian and been involved in the local Church for many years, made this statement,"Yes, but Abraham had the Law and so he understood about......" (they weren't referring to the pre-Moses law) I wonder how many Christians would actually notice the inaccuracy in this assertion. Moses lived 500 years after Abraham and so it is impossible. I have since put together a Biblical timeline chart and shown in a more graphic way the dating of individuals and events.
Regrettably, a numerous Pastors and teachers in our churches continue to preach flimsy, superficial, shallow, light weight sermons and their congregation scarcely grow in biblical knowledge. Preachers love to preach'moral essays' and'warming affirmations' because supposedly, if we truly love people this is what we will do. Regrettable it seems, if God's men and women are falling through the cracks'for an absence of knowledge' so long as we are nice and loving to all. Truly, the more relevant we become to the world, the less relevant we are to the world.
Some time ago, I was preaching on the life, resurrection, burial and death of Christ Jesus, and a retired pastor and powerful preacher of Scripture, who had been in the ministry for 40 years, came up and reproved me smartly over some fascinating points I made and he stated 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 had been saying anything of a heretical nature in any way, to which he answered"No". I continued on to explain that in the case of that particular verse, it was not speaking to exploring the Bible but to the false teaching and philosophy of the Gnostics, but he would not have it. So, how can a 40 year preacher & laborer 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 teach 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 figure out these things and be able to interpret their Bible well, if they are not informed?
Why do we dwell on our favorite subjects and feel good sermons?
We teach on a verse from Mark and a passage about Joseph and a topic from the book of Luke and then the faith of David or the perseverance of Noah - pieces from here and all over, but we do not put it all at once in an obvious understandable, easy to remember, perspective with a capable Bible TimeLine and Church History as well. Constantly we are bombarded with new books, modernist ideas, a number of them hazardously leaning toward Liberal doctrine, but if we could be coached the basics of Church history, we then would not be so doomed to do the same again.
Let's us as tutors and preachers sew together the fragments of the Bible and God's plan into a seamless tapestry that our people are able to draw on for the rest of their lives, helping them to figure out God, His Eternal Plan, the function of the Church and ways to better translate the Bible to live by.
It is not hard 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 make use of a Bible Timeline also.
