A Biblical Timeline Offers A Graphical Mode To Aid And Help Biblical Characters And Events And Principles
In a Bible study some years ago, a lady who had been a Christian and laboured in the Church for over 15 years, asserted that,"Yes, but Abraham had the Law and so he understood about......" (they were not referring to the pre-Moses law) I wonder how many Christians will actually pick up the inaccuracy in this assertion. Moses lived about five hundred years after Abraham and so it is an impossibility. I have since then put together a Bible timeline banner and shown more visually the chronology of men and women and occasions.
Alas, a many Pastors and Bible teachers in our churches go on and preach light weight, shallow, superficial, flimsy messages and their Church members scarcely grow in biblical knowledge and understanding. Preachers love to preach'moral essays' and'warming affirmations' because supposedly, if we love our people this is what we'll do. Regrettable it seems, if God's men and women are falling through the cracks'for an absence of knowledge' so long as we're positive and loving to all. In truth, the more like this world, the less relevant we're to this world.
Years ago, I was preaching on the life, death, resurrection and burial of Jesus, and a retired pastor and powerful preacher of Scripture, who had been a minister for 40 years, came to me and reproved me smartly over some interesting 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 quietly asked him if I had been saying anything of a heretical nature in any way, to which he said"No". I continued on to describe that in the case of that particular Scripture, it was not speaking to exploring Scripture but to the false teaching and philosophy of the Gnostics, but he would not accept it. Let me ask, how can a 40 year preacher & worker in the Gospel, not know and understand about something that possibly half the books of the New Testament refer to?
How could he study and preach the Bible in fullness without being familiar with something that was so influential in the New Testament church? And then how can the congregation hope to comprehend these things and be able to understand their Bible well, if they're not told?
Why do we get stuck in a rut of our pet themes and feel good discourses?
We teach on a verse from Proverbs and a narrative about Jacob and a topical from the book of Malachi and then the obedience of Adam or the faith of Noah - parts from here and everywhere, but we do not put it all together in a clear understandable, simple to remember, perspective with a decent Bible TimeLine and Church History as well. Constantly we're bombarded with new books, modernist ideas, a few of them hazardously leaning toward Progressive theology, but if we were to be coached the basic principles of Church history, we then would not be so bound to do the same again.
Let's us as instructors and preachers stitch together the fragments of God's Word and His plan into a logical whole that our people are able to draw on for the rest of life, to help them to comprehend God, His Eternal Plan, the function of the Church and how to better translate the Bible to order our lives by.
It's not hard to do, and it's not boring if we're prepared to put in a bit of study with prayer and fervor, and just perhaps you can utilize a Bible Timeline also.
