A Bible Timeline Chart Gives A Graphic Representation To Help Teach Bible Characters And Events And Facts
Unfortunately, a many preachers and Bible teachers in our churches go on and preach light weight, shallow, flimsy, superficial 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 truly love our people this is what we will do. Too bad it seems, if God's men and women are falling through the cracks'for a lack of knowledge' as long as we're positive and loving to all. In truth, the more like this world, the less relevant we're to this world.
Some years ago, I was preaching on the death, resurrection, life and burial of Jesus Christ, and a retired pastor and strong preacher of the Bible, who had been in the ministry for forty years, marched up and reproved me smartly over some fascinating points I made and he referred to 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 humbly asked him if I had been teaching anything of a heretical nature at all, to which he answered"No". I continued to describe that in the case of that particular verse, it wasn't speaking to exploring Scripture but to the false teachings and school of thought of Gnosticism, but he would not have it. So, how can a forty year minister & worker in the Gospel, not understand and know about a thing that probably half the books of the New Testament relate to?
How can he understand and teach the Bible clearly 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 able to understand their Bible properly, if they are not informed?
Let's us as teachers and preachers sew together the aspects of the Bible and God's plan into a seamless tapestry that our people can draw on for the rest of life, helping them to understand God, His Eternal Plan, the function of the Church and how to better translate the Bible to model our lives by.
It's 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 possibly you can utilize a Bible Timeline also.
