A Bible Timeline Banner Offers A Graphic Mode To Aid And Help Bible Characters And Events And Truths
In our Bible group some years ago, a lady who had been a Christian and been involved in the local Church for many years, said,"Yes, but Abraham had the Law and so he understood about......" (they were not talking about the pre-Moses law) I wonder just how many Christians would actually notice the inaccuracy in this assertion. Moses lived 500 years after Abraham and so it is an impossibility. I have since made up a Bible chronological chart and shown in a more graphic way the time period of men and women and events.
Regrettably, a large number of Pastors and teachers in our churches go on and preach superficial, shallow, light weight, flimsy sermons and their congregation scarcely grow in Bible 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 people are falling through the cracks'for a lack of knowledge' as long as we're nice and loving to all. In reality, the more relevant we become to this world, the less relevant we're to this world.
Some time ago, I was teaching on the burial, life, death and resurrection of Christ Jesus, and a retired pastor and powerful preacher of the Gospel, who had been in the ministry for forty years, marched up and reproved me vigorously over some interesting points I made and he mentioned 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 saying anything of a heretical nature at all, to which he replied"No". I continued to spell out that in the case of that particular verse, it was not referring to examining the Bible but to the false teachings and school of thought of the Gnostics, but he would not have it. Let me ask, how can a forty year minister & worker in the Gospel, not know and understand about a thing that possibly half the books of the New Testament relate to?
How could he study and teach the Bible fully without knowing about 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 effectively, if they're not told?
Why is it that we get stuck in a rut of our pet subjects and feel good discourses?
We preach on a verse from James and a passage about Paul and a topical from the book of Corintians and then the example of Isaac or the strength of Samson - pieces from here and everywhere, but we do not put it all at once in an obvious understandable, simple to remember, perspective with a capable Bible TimeLine with Church History as well. Constantly we're bombarded with new books, modernist ideas, a number of them perilously leaning toward Liberal theology, but if we could be instructed the basic principles of Church history, we then would not be so bound to repeat it.
Let's us as teachers and preachers stitch together the fragments of the Bible and His plan into a complete picture that our people are able to draw on for the rest of their lives, helping them to comprehend God, His Eternal Plan, the function of the Church and how to better translate the Bible to model our lives by.
It is not hard to do, and it is not boring if we're ready to put in a bit of study and prayer and fervor, and just perhaps you can use a Bible Timeline too.
