A Bible Timeline Banner Offers A Graphic Mode To Help Teach Bible Events And Characters And Facts
In our Bible study some years ago, a friend who had been a Christian and been involved in the local Church for years, said,"Yes, but Abraham had the Law and so he understood about......" (they were not talking about the pre-mosaic law) I wonder how many Christians would actually pick up the inaccuracy in this claim. Moses lived 500 years after Abraham and so it is not possible. I have since made up a Biblical timeline banner and shown in a more graphic way the dating of people and events.
Unfortunately, a numerous preachers and teachers in our churches go on and preach flimsy, shallow, light weight, superficial sermons and their members hardly grow in Bible knowledge. Preachers love to give us'moral essays' and'warming affirmations' because supposedly, if we really 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 positive and loving to all. In reality, the more relevant we become to this world, the less relevant we are to this world.
Some time ago, I was preaching on the death, burial, life and resurrection of Jesus, and a retired pastor and powerful preacher of the Gospel, who had been in the ministry for forty years, came to me and reproved me vigorously over some interesting 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 saying anything of a heretical nature at all, to which he said"No". I continued to describe that in the case of that particular verse, it wasn't speaking to exploring the Bible but to the false teachings and philosophy of the Gnostics, but he would not accept it. So, how can a forty year minister & worker in the Gospel, not understand and know about a thing that possibly 1/2 the books of the New Testament relate to?
How can he study and teach the Bible in fullness without being aware of 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 are not informed?
Why do we get stuck in a rut of our favorite themes and sugar coated preaching?
We teach on a verse from Ephesians and a story about Joseph and a topical from the book of Judges and then the faith of Paul or the miracles through Paul - parts from here and everywhere, but we do not put it all at once in an evident understandable, simple to remember, perspective with a decent Bible TimeLine including Church History as well. Constantly we are bombarded with new books, modernist ideas, a number of them dangerously edging toward Liberal theology, when if we were to be taught the fundamental principles of Church history, we then would not be so bound to repeat it.
Let's us as tutors and preachers stitch together the fragments of God's Word and His plan into a seamless tapestry that our people can draw on for the remainder of their lives, to help 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 hard to do, and it's not boring if we are ready to put in a bit of study with prayer and fervor, and just maybe you can use a Bible Timeline too.
