The Great Reset: Charting The Way Forward, Part 3

February 6, 2021 by David Orton

The Great Reset: Charting The Way Forward, Part 3

Experientialism and false prophecy for the Scriptures Third, she must reject experientialism and false prophecy for the Scriptures. This is not to deny the subjective experience of the living God and the biblical exercise of the charismata. But it is to discern between this and absolutizing subjective experience above him and, thus, false dependence on prophets and prophecy. … [Read more...]

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...]

Rescuing the Book of Revelation from ‘End-Time’ Madness: Studies in Eschatology

April 12, 2019 by David Orton

Rescuing the Book of Revelation from ‘End-Time’ Madness: Studies in Eschatology

This brief study will apply the age-old principle of ‘scripture interpreting scripture’, rescuing Revelation and its judgements from the folly of ‘newspaper exegesis’ and the ‘end-time’ madness that looks for fulfilment in the latest war or natural calamity. Understanding the overarching biblical narrative of redemptive history, through the covenant, is the key, as we shall see … [Read more...]

The Significance of John’s Letters to the Seven Churches of Asia: Studies in Eschatology

March 30, 2019 by David Orton

The Significance of John’s Letters to the Seven Churches of Asia: Studies in Eschatology

The apostle’s address to the seven churches of Asia (Rev 1-3) are generally recognised by modern commentators to be an integral part of the book, however, much disagreement remains as to their nature and purpose.  Dispensationalists, while recognising the relevance to the historical churches of Asia, project them forward as a prophecy of seven distinct periods of Church … [Read more...]

End-Time Fads & Defeatist Fantasies: Studies In Eschatology

February 28, 2019 by David Orton

End-Time Fads & Defeatist Fantasies: Studies In Eschatology

For want of a sound hermeneutic (i.e. principles of interpretation), the ‘Tribulation’ and the ‘Beast’ headline the comic-book theologies of today’s church, spawning all manner of “End Time” fads and, sadly, defeatist fantasies—of the church subjugated by the ‘Beast’ in the ‘Tribulation’, demanding its rapture and, hence, its extraction from the field of battle. If it were not … [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.
