Apostolic Architecture

August 26, 2016 by David Orton

Building a Prototype Model of City-Church God is restoring to the church an authentic apostolic Christianity by re-laying the foundations of the apostolic message, apostolic ministry, and apostolic mode.

Tithing & The New Covenant

April 8, 2016 by David Orton

Tithing & The New Covenant

Introduction Throughout the history of the Christian movement the approach to Tithing (i.e. a 'tenth' of one’s increase; see Deut 14:22) has been far from unanimous, demonstrating many diverse views (see below). To find clarity on this contended and sensitive issue we must go back to some foundational theological and interpretative principles to discover, with some measure of … [Read more...]

The God of Peace

The God of Peace

And He Shall Soon Crush Satan Under Your Feet At the birth of our Saviour, Christ the Lord, an angel appeared to the shepherds nearby, declaring the good news for all people. And suddenly, in reply, the heavenly host appeared proclaiming in chorus: “Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased.” Luke 2:14 NAS Christ’s birth … [Read more...]

Same-Sex Marriage: Should it be a Civil-right? A Biblical View

Same-Sex Marriage: Should it be a Civil-right? A Biblical View

Preamble In view of the current shifts, particularly in the English speaking Western nations, in regard to same-sex marriage we have felt a constraint to release a paper that might resource Christians in "thinking the thoughts of God after him". Be warned though, it is a necessarily comprehensive response – and some – to the main arguments of the pro-homosexual apology. With … [Read more...]

Felling Goliath: How to enforce the victory of Christ over unbelief

June 15, 2015 by David Orton

Felling Goliath: How to enforce the victory of Christ over unbelief

“…that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel” 1 Sam 17:46 A battle is raging in our day – at the heart of both church and culture – between diametrically opposed worldviews. It is a battle between anti-theistic unbelief and the knowledge of God. Humanity’s first parents, in rebellion against God and his clear verbal communication, presumed to judge between … [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.
