Books of the Bible

September 21, 2016 by David Orton

Books of the Bible

A brief explanation on how to interpret the Books of the Bible. Because the Holy Scriptures have been inspired and superintended by the Holy Spirit they command our attention. As God’s Word they are worthy of serious study and exegesis. As we study the Scriptures we must allow them to speak for themselves. Hence, the task of biblical exegesis is to draw out the meaning of the … [Read more...]

God Speaks

God Speaks

Humankind – made in God’s image – is a social being, enjoying relationships and communicating. Therefore, God is personal—he relates to us and communicates. In his image, we have been created constitutionally to both know him and be known by him. As with human relationships, not all communication uses words. God, likewise, communicates his love to us through direct … [Read more...]

The Problem of Knowing

The Problem of Knowing

Christian Epistemology, simply put, is an investigation of 'how we know we know'. epis·te·mol·o·gy the study or a theory of the nature and grounds of knowledge especially with reference to its limits and validity God in Christ – as the eternal Logos (word/mind) – is the ground of all human rationality and knowing. Humankind, made in God's image, is thus, unlike the … [Read more...]

God’s Communication

September 21, 2016 by David Orton

God’s Communication

Our contemporary culture of instantaneous communication — FB, Instagram, Twitter and Blogging — merely reflects humankind made in God’s image. God, in fact, is the consummate communicator. This communication is both relational and rational. Creating humankind in his own image he has gifted man constitutionally to communicate with him—to both know him and be known by him. He is … [Read more...]

What is the Gospel?

September 15, 2016 by David Orton

What is the Gospel?

God’s good news—the Gospel—is the best and most important news you will ever hear. It is found permanently recorded in God’s Word—the Bible. The Bible is the final authority regarding God’s news for us—and this is where you should go to check up on what anybody says about God and His relationship to man. There are many ways to summarize the Gospel. One way is: The wages of … [Read more...]

The Message

21st century Western man is now living in the moral debris of the 20th century experiment—the experiment of messianic statism – Marxist, Fascist, and now secular Humanist – with its rejection of God in Christ as the genius of the Western cultural heritage. Spiritually, morally, and financially bankrupt the West has now exhausted its options. 

Our message despite the historic failure of humanity, including the church, is one of certainty and hope. God has a purpose for history and for nations—for their governance, prosperity, and peace. God’s plan for the planet is more than adequate for its crisis. Lifemessenger is committed to speaking a prophetically pertinent word to church and culture.
