A Bible History Timeline Offers A Graphic Way To Aid And Help Bible Events And Characters And Facts
In our Sunday Bible study years ago, a friend who had been a Christian and been involved in the local Church for over 15 years, asserted that,"Yes, but Abraham had the Law and so he understood about......" (they weren't referring to the pre-mosaic law) I wonder how many Christians will really notice the inaccuracy in this assertion. Moses existed five hundred years after Abraham and so it is not possible. I have since then put together a Biblical timeline banner and explained visually the chronology of men and women and occasions.
Regrettably, a large number of Pastors and Bible teachers in our churches continue to preach superficial, light weight, shallow, flimsy sermons and their congregation barely grow in Bible knowledge and understanding. 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 men and women are falling through the cracks'for a lack of knowledge' as long as we are positive and loving to all. In truth, the more like our world, the less relevant we are to our world.
Some time ago, I was speaking on the resurrection, death, burial and life of Jesus, and a retired pastor and strong preacher of Scripture, who had been a pastor for forty 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 teaching 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 verse, it was not speaking to examining Scripture but to the false teachings and philosophy of Gnosticism, but he would not accept it. So, how can a forty year minister & laborer in the Gospel, not understand and know about a thing that possibly half the books of the New Testament refer to?
How could he study and teach the Bible in fullness without being familiar with a thing that was so influential in the New Testament church? And then how can the congregation hope to comprehend these things and be in a position to understand their Bible properly, if they are not informed?
Why do we get stuck in a rut of our favorite topics and feel good messages?
We teach on a text from Genesis and a passage about Noah and a theme from the book of Judges and then the obedience of Adam or the fleece of Gideon - parts from here and everywhere, but we do not put it all together in a plain understandable, simple 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 thinking, but if we were to be instructed the basic principles 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 aspects of God's Word and His plan into a logical whole that our people can draw on for the rest of their lives, to help them to comprehend God, His Eternal Plan, the function of the Church and ways to better translate the Bible to model our lives by.
It's not difficult to do, and it is not boring if we are prepared to put in a bit of study and prayer and fervor, and just possibly you can use a Bible Timeline also.
