A Biblical Timeline Gives A Graphical Representation To Aid And Help Biblical Characters And Events And Truths
In our Sunday Bible group some years ago, somebody, who had been a Christian and worked in the Church for years, asserted that,"Yes, but Abraham had the Law and so he understood about......" (they were not referring to the pre-mosaic law) I wonder just how many Christians will actually notice the inaccuracy in this claim. Moses lived 500 years after Abraham and so it is impossible. I have since put together a Bible chronological chart and explained in a more graphic way the chronology of people and occasions.
Regrettably, a numerous Pastors and teachers in our churches continue to preach shallow, light weight, superficial, flimsy sermons and their members 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 will do. Unfortunate it seems, if God's people are falling through the cracks'for a lack of knowledge' so long as we're positive and loving to all. In truth, the more relevant we become to our world, the less relevant we're to our world.
Some years ago, I was preaching on the resurrection, death, burial and life of Christ Jesus, and a retired pastor and strong preacher of the Bible, who had been a pastor for 40 years, came to me 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 quietly asked him if I was saying 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 wasn't speaking to exploring the Bible but to the false teachings and school of thought of Gnosticism, but he would not accept it. Let me ask, how can a 40 year minister & worker in the Gospel, not know and understand about a thing that probably 1/2 the books of the New Testament refer to?
How can he study and preach 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 able to interpret their Bible well, if they are not informed?
Why do we dwell on our pet topics and feel good messages?
We instruct on a verse from Malachi and a narrative about David and a topic from the book of Titus and then the faith of Jacob or the strength of Samson - bits from here and everyplace, but we do not put it all together in an obvious understandable, easy to remember, perspective with a decent Bible TimeLine with Church History as well. Constantly we're bombarded with new books, modernist ideas, some of them dangerously edging toward Liberal thinking, when if we were to be coached the fundamental principles of Church history, we then would not be so doomed to do the same again.
Let's us as instructors and preachers stitch together the fragments of the Bible and His plan into a seamless tapestry that our people can draw on for the rest of life, helping them to comprehend God, His Eternal Plan, the function of the Church and ways to better interpret the Bible to order our lives by.
It is not difficult to do, and it is not boring if we're ready to put in a bit of study with prayer and fervor, and just perhaps you can utilize a Bible Timeline too.
