TIME MANAGEMENT
[This syllabus was revised and edited by Dr. Paul B. Jang from The Gift of Time written by William T. McConnell and The Study Guides and Strategies.]
[I] OVERVIEW OF TIME
1. THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE
1) Time began with the creation of God (Time is the life of the soul)
(1) In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth (Gen. 1:1)
(2) \\\"In the beginning\\\" means Time existence
2) Time, therefore, was created by God in the beginning
(1) what then about before creating the time?
(2) What is the difference between before and after?
(3) How can it be measured before the creation?
3) Augustine reasoned (long before Einstein and the theory of relativity): how could those countless ages have elapsed when you the Creator, in whom all ages have their origin, had not yet created them? What time could there have been that was not created by you? How could time elapse it it never was? (Augustine, The Confession 11.13)
4) Ancient Hebrews early:
(1) the day, month and year are means of dividing or measuring time, because these measurements involved the circuit of the earth, moon and sun.
(2) Seven-day week had no satisfactory explanation and only the seven-day week in divine revelation
(3) Day was divided several parts:
1. watch (Ex 14:24; Judge 7:19; Ps 63:6)
2. but there was no concern with lesser divisions (hour, minute, second)
(4) Later the development of the sundial (Ahaz and Hezekiah): permitted more exact measurements (2 Kings 20:10-11; Is 38:8)
(5) By New Testament times monetary value was attached to the hours of the day (Mt. 20:10-11)
(6) Respect for time jumped dramatically in the 18 C. when Pope Paul I gave the Short, king of the Franks, a water clock that operated an alarm.
(7) The clock, created to help us control time, could now control us. What is the measures by the clock? The passage or passing of part of our lives.
(8) Robert H. Schuller has turned this preassure into his life philosophy: I began my lifework on the assumption that I might not live long enough to accomplish everything I'd like to. If I want to do anything worthwhile in my life I'd have to hurry up. I have been in a hurry ever since.
(9) Other people in a hurry have found time to write--and read--countless books on how to accomplish more in the same twenty four hours allotted to us all, but often carelessly squandered.
(10) Les Waas (president of the Procrastinators Club of America): People who rush around and never relax and get all worried about being on time are people who die early. Then they are referred ot as the 'late Mr. so-and-so.' Why not be late while you're live?...
(11) As tempting as it may seem to laugh off the breathless pace of modern life, or dream of returning to a less hurried age, the only real hope of a solution to time preassure lies coming to terms with the time we have.
(12) American civil religion (Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin)
1) the kingdom of God = was being established in the wilderness of N. America.
2) the chosen people = those who built this new temporal paradise.
1. to be thrifty
2. disciplined with their time
3. still a favorite source of quotations by time-management moralists
3) Dost thou love life?
1. Do not squander time
2. for that is the stuff life is made of.
(13) Religious pluralism has blurred the distinction between Christianity and America's civil religion.
(14) Jesus was not talking about \\\"the American way\\\" of \\\"the good life,\\\" however, when he spoke of \\\"the way, the truth and the life.\\\"
(15) God's kingdom comes; it is not spread like a disease or set up like a committee. Jesus urged people to enter the kingdom, not build it.
(16) American way is not human culture itself not the \\\"gigantic laboratory for the experiment of modernization,\\\" as Peter Berger calls the United States, but rather Satan's grip on them.
(17) Jesus did not rush or is not anxious over the passing of time. What Jesus die was not done with an airline timetable in his hand.
(18) The words \\\"busy\\\" and \\\"pastor\\\"
1. Busy : 1) symptom not of commitment and of betrayal
2) not devotion but defection
2. the adjective busy set as a modifier to pastor should sound to our ears like adulterous to characterize a wife, or embezzling to describe a banker. It is an outrageous scandal, a blasphemous affront.
