Romans: Kingdom through Covenant, Part 1

February 24, 2018 by David Orton

Romans: Kingdom through Covenant, Part 1

The question will be asked, why another commentary on Romans? First, because Romans provides the ABC's of the Gospel, it is Christianity 101. From the early church to the present day, it has been recognised as the foundational teaching of Christianity, providing the Bible's most complete statement concerning God's purpose for humankind, its fall from that purpose, and his … [Read more...]

The Pauline Correspondence: Its Mode & Message

The Pauline Correspondence: Its Mode & Message

Part 3 of 3 In Parts 1 & 2 we discovered that Paul's call and commission, as the pioneer apostle to the Gentiles, was unique and normative for the church universally. We will now explore these implications for the apostolic mode and message. Mode As the pioneer – and thus proto-type – apostle to the Gentiles Paul modelled God's strategy for the expansion of the Gospel … [Read more...]

The Pauline Correspondence: Its Design & Distinctive

The Pauline Correspondence: Its Design & Distinctive

Part 2 of 3 In Part 1 we considered the principle of progressive revelation, observing that Paul's revelation of the Gospel was a fulfilment of Jesus' promise that I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth. Jn 16:12  Premise Our premise is that the Bible is the Word of God, … [Read more...]

The Pauline Correspondence: A Progressive Revelation

The Pauline Correspondence: A Progressive Revelation

Part 1 of 3 But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until full day. Proverbs 4:18 I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to … [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.
