God's Ways

This teaching stream explores walking in God’s Ways, as a Christian believer, but also as a society.

What are God’s ways? Certainly not ours as we pride oursleves on doing it "my way", and this is despite news media daily broadcasting the result—accelerating societal breakdown. God’s ways are therefore not only personal, but societal and ethical; they are the knowledge of God and his law for all humankind practically applied; they are wisdom for living.

God’s ways therefore involve:

  • Social Ethics
  • Path to Maturity
  • Life in the Spirit

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

August 27, 2015 by David Orton

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...]

Sexuality Dislocated

Sexuality Dislocated

Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen. For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those … [Read more...]

The Believer’s Greatest Ability: The DNA of the new kingdom order

The Believer’s Greatest Ability: The DNA of the new kingdom order

Make me know Your ways, O LORD; Teach me Your paths.   Psalms 25:4 To fear the Lord is to be taught of the Lord. In fact, the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. But this wisdom is so beyond human ken it must be supernatural. Therefore, only by imbibing the “spirit of the fear of the Lord” (Isa 11:2) will we be filled with the desire and the ability to learn His … [Read more...]

The Bible’s Greatest Spiritual Secret

February 9, 2011 by David Orton

The Bible’s Greatest Spiritual Secret

“The secret of the LORD is for those who fear Him” Psalms 25:14 The secret, or intimate, things of God are not accessible to everyone. In fact, God hides the deeper knowledge of himself. Surrounded by clouds and thick darkness (Psa 37:2), he confounds those who would come to him filled with spiritual ambition. Driven from the garden, would-be autonomous man is unable to … [Read more...]

The Law of Spiritual Riches

April 8, 2010 by David Orton

The Law of Spiritual Riches

Therefore if you have not been faithful in the use of unrighteous wealth (mammon), who will entrust the true riches to you? Luke 16:11 The law of spiritual riches is a non-negotiable principle of the kingdom of God. There is an unbreakable connection between our relationship to money and the release of the Spirit. If we have not been faithful in regard to natural wealth, how … [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.
