The Great Reset: Charting The Way Forward, Part 1

January 24, 2021 by David Orton

The Great Reset: Charting The Way Forward, Part 1

In 2004 I wrote that the period 1950 to 2025 represents a hinge of history, on which swings a door to a new epoch of the Kingdom of God. The Biden presidency will bring us to the brink of that new era, to 2025. But at the same time I also wrote that the “twin towers” attack of 2001 signalled an acceleration of God’s judgment on the West, already reaching through the holocaust … [Read more...]

What’s Wrong with Wright? ‘Imputation’ to begin with…

What’s Wrong with Wright? ‘Imputation’ to begin with…

Imputation Contended and Defended Romans 5:12-21 is considered the locus classicus for the doctrine of "imputation"; that is, the imputation of Adam's sin, guilt, and penalty to humankind and of Christ's righteousness to the believer. However, the ‘New Perspective on Paul’ significantly contends against “imputation”. For example, as one of the most influential proponents, … [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...]

A Biblical View of Church and State: Implications for Same-Sex Marriage

A Biblical View of Church and State: Implications for Same-Sex Marriage

In understanding the biblical role of church and state – and its implications for homosexuality – we must first understand the transformational nature of God’s kingdom. Christ is not only “head over all things to the church” (Eph 1:22), but also “ruler of kings on earth” (Rev 1:5). Through Christ’s resurrection and ascension he has been given “all authority in heaven and on … [Read more...]

Rationality & 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 1 of 3   – An Inescapable Goal The goal of fallen man[1] throughout history, as defined in Genesis, is “to be like God, knowing [or determining] good and evil” (Gen 3:5). While man’s place in the cosmos, as a creature, is found in total dependence on his … [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.
