The Nativity of Christ: Its Historical Context and Cultural Implications

The Nativity of Christ: Its Historical Context and Cultural Implications

In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. This was the first registration when Quirinius was governor of Syria. And all went to be registered, each to his own town. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage … [Read more...]

Romans: God Revealed & Man Judged—Covenant Disobeyed, Part 3

March 11, 2018 by David Orton

Romans: God Revealed & Man Judged—Covenant Disobeyed, Part 3

EXPOSITION: Chapter 1:18-32 False Gospels. Our passage under consideration is the opening one of a far larger section (1:18-3:20). This larger context demonstrates that man, universally (Jew and Gentile), is under sin and that there is no question of his justification apart from faith. It picks up the theme of the epistle presented in v. 17 that the Gospel is the "... … [Read more...]

The Problem of Evil: Finding God in our Pain

"I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear; But now my eye sees You”   Job 42:5. The Problem of Evil. From ancient Greece (e.g. Epicurus, 342-270 BC), to the Enlightenment (e.g. David Hume, AD 1711-76), up to the present day, philosophers and theologians alike have been baffled by the "problem of evil". Many consider it as the Achilles heel of Christianity. The … [Read more...]

Revelation & the Inescapable God: Foundations in Christian Worldview

Revelation & the Inescapable God: Foundations in Christian Worldview

The Inescapable God “… we have made lies our refuge, and in falsehood we have taken shelter” Isa 28:15 –   Part 3 of 3   – An Inescapable Revelation The fact of creation declares that all people – every nation, race, age and gender – are unceasingly face to face with the living God. This however raises an important question. If God’s revelation is inescapably clear … [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.
