Chad Whisnant’s Birthday Party at Mom and Dad 2014

Charles e Whisnant, Preaching/Teaching

                  

April 27 2014  back to 1965

My Dad was an evangelist and preacher and pastor for 44 years before he died in 1966 at the age of 62 years old.  I had my first experience of teaching back in December 1964 when my Dad asked me to teach the Teenagers and College Career class, and since that time I have loved teaching the Bible.  Teaching and learning the Bible has been a passionate passion that I have had for a long time. 

Preaching, to me, has been about the message. I have focused on the content of the message.  I have been more concerned about what I say than how I say it.  I might say how I deliver the message has been of less concern than being sure that what I say is correct.

The one area of preaching that I am sure of is the content of the message. I want to make sure to the best of my ability that I know the meaning of the text that I am going to teach.  I make sure that I have made every effort of learning all that I can about the portion of scripture that is to be taught.  

What I seem to struggle with the most is the presentation of the message.  I can’t seem to have the full confidence that I have presented the message as well as I could.  How I speak, how I stand, etc. 

Some preachers spend a lot of time in their presenting the sermon and I know that is important, how you look and dress and act while you preach is important. 

Well, now for almost 50 years I am still in this mode of thinking, and maybe in a few years I will know how to present the sermon.  But as for the content I am rather confident that what I say is what I want the people to hear and believe and do, because I fully believe what I say is from the text of the Word of God.

Early Preaching in Roanoke VA

The only photo that I have of myself as a teenager and I was at youth camp in N.C.

When I started teaching the Bible back in Roanoke, Virginia in December 1963 Dad gave me the young people's class since the teacher went to the Army.  For the text 27 months (February  1966 I taught that class ever week, while I was still in high school. 

 I was dating Saundra Richardson from the tenth grade until I sent to Seminary in 1966. Love Saundra and love the Lord and love teaching.  My Dad died in February 1966 and that ended my teaching at Roanoke Baptist Temple. I did go over to Fellowship Baptist Church with Gene Arnold and preached and taught in the High School class until Mom and the family moved to Danville, Virginia. And in my first year at Seminary was great and when I went back to Danville, Sandra got married to my surprise.  She had written me ever day in 1966 but in 1967 the stopped and then I knew why.  I have not gotten over that yet, all these years later. She married twice and she passed always in 2010.  

Now those years teaching in Roanoke, without knowing really what I was really doing, I was studying the Bible. Thank goodness Dad had a great library of great books and I really loved reading them.  I spend a lot of time reading the Bible and reading those who knew the Bible. 

Then I went to seminary and there I learn that preaching was not teaching. I did learn a lot what the Bible. Well what they said about the Bible, but they never gave me the tools to study the Bible, because that was not the right way to study and preach. 

Well for the next few churches I was in churches where the pastor did not preach verse by verse and therefore I just taught what ever. From 1970 to 1982.

It was not until 1982 that I got back on tract with teaching the bible as I did when I was in high school.

Know The Bible: Study Method Early Years: Charles e Whisnant

Before Seminary, while still in High School I had a desire to know the Bible.  On of my projects was to study the Book of Galatians.  Here is the original notes from that study. Back in 1963 I worked on this project. 

Hand Printed then and still love doing that today. Notes from the Galatians study

Yes this 

Yes this is my first Scofield Bible back in the day, around 1960 I believe and used it in those days at Roanoke Baptist Temple and then in Seminary up to 1969. 

I believe ever page is used, and the original notes ours still in the Bible

I never ask a student in my youth class to do what I would not do.

Great Day In the Morning
