A Biblical Timeline Banner Presents A Graphical Mode To Aid And Help Biblical Events And Facts
In our Sunday Bible group some years ago, somebody, who had been a Christian and worked in the Church for many years, asserted that,"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 claim. Moses came about some 500 years after Abraham and so it is an impossibility. I have since compiled a Biblical chronological banner and explained in a more graphic way the dating of people and occasions.
Alas, a many preachers and Bible teachers in our churches continue to preach superficial, light weight, shallow, flimsy sermons and their members scarcely grow in Bible knowledge and understanding. Preachers love to give us'moral essays' and'warming affirmations' because supposedly, if we love our people this is what we will do. Too bad it seems, if God's people are falling through the cracks'for an absence of knowledge' as long as we are nice and loving to all. In reality, the more relevant we become to our world, the less relevant we are to our world.
Some time ago, I was speaking on the resurrection, life, burial and death of Jesus Christ, and a retired pastor and powerful preacher of the Bible, who had been a minister for 40 years, marched up and reproved me vigorously 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 quietly asked him if I was preaching anything of a heretical nature at all, to which he said"No". I continued on to describe that in the case of that particular verse, it was not speaking to exploring the Bible but to the false teaching and school of thought of the Gnostics, but he would not accept it. Let me ask, how can a 40 year preacher & laborer in the Gospel, not understand and know about something that probably 1/2 the books of the New Testament relate to?
How can he understand and preach the Bible in fullness without knowing about something 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 understand their Bible well, if they're not informed?
Why is it that we get stuck in a rut of our pet topics and sugar coated preaching?
We teach on a verse from 2 Kings and a narrative about Hezekiah and a topical from the book of Ecclesiastes and then the obedience of Adam or the strength of Samson - bits from here and everyplace, but we do not put it all together in an obvious understandable, simple to remember, perspective with a decent Bible TimeLine with Church History as well. Constantly we are bombarded with new books, modernist ideas, a number of them hazardously leaning toward Progressive theology, when if we could be taught the fundamental principles of Church history, we then would not be so doomed to repeat it.
Let's us as instructors and preachers stitch together the fragments of the Bible and His plan into a logical whole that our people are able to draw on for the rest of their lives, to help them to figure out God, His Eternal Plan, the function of the Church and ways to better interpret the Bible to model our lives by.
It's 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 as well.
