CSN Sunday - LightWing Messages for 8/1/2021
The Ten Commandments
And God spoke all these words, saying:
“I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of
bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me.
You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
You shall not murder.
You shall not commit adultery.
You shall not steal.
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.” Exodus 20:1-17 (NKJV)
We have presented the verses of the Ten Commandments on a number of Sundays in this venue previously. However, we are offering the reference again as there has been a strong man of God who has been preaching an incredibly relevant message for our time about these words from God to mankind thousands of year ago, and he has been taken ill recently. In honoring his message as part of his healing we are featuring his message of the “Biblical Basis of the Bill of Rights” today. Pastor Earl Wallace has been preaching the message of how the United States’ foundations were formulated upon the Ten Commandments. It is a powerful message, and it is inspiring people throughout the nation as it is not just a message for God’s people in the time of Moses, but it is a message for the American people in such a time as this. Unfortunately, Pastor Wallace and his wife have contracted COVID. He recently revealed this to me, and this is why I feel we revisit his message.
Pastor Wallace and I go back to Dr. Ben Carson’s campaign for POTUS, as far back as 2015. We worked together then and in 2019, we co-founded the Coalition for the Principled Republic. It is rooted in his message regarding his linking the Bill of Rights and the Ten Commandments. But, his determination in presenting this message is nearly unstoppable. Only COVID has made a dent in his commitment to spread this message, which he has received from God for our time. Indeed, as I mentioned once again last week: “since 2016, the United States has gone through a number of experiences that has only shed light, time and again, on the corruption that is at the heart… of every aspect of the government as well as the various spheres of our culture and society.” One central way of ridding our nation of so much corruption at the core of government, is to go back to the beginning, when God gave these laws to His children to be the core of their government.
In April of 2019, Pastor Wallace and I collaborated on an article that we put in the Citizen Sentinels Network newsletter. We offer that message here today because I want readers to become acquainted again with Pastor Wallace’s core message. But, there is also a hidden agenda behind my reminding readers of this message. I would hope that I could expand the circle of those people who are praying for his recovery. And, he assured me that he is in true recovery. He has medication from the Frontline Doctors and is being wise about his healing. But, I still hope that everyone who could pray for God’s healing of he and his wife, would pray for God’s healing of he and his wife and members of his congregation at his Liberty Christian Fellowship in New York. Our message today is about bringing America back to these foundation stones of the Judeo-Christian heritage upon which our nation was built. As I have mentioned before, the sacred truths had no expiration date. Those self-evident truths still exist. It is “We the People” who have lost touch with them. We need to re-write them upon our hearts, and we need to pass them on to our children if our Republic is to be preserved.
Additionally, we have quite a great number of additional resources for you to read or view. There are ten primary videos in our “Video Views” we offer to our audience. There is a very good video from MyFaithVotes of Jason Yates interviewing former Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo. We’ve got two current videos from Dutch Sheets who reveals why evil exists in America. And for those who have not seen Pastor Earl Wallace in action, we have a video of him presenting the Biblical Basis of the Bill of Rights. Other videos are musical offerings including one from Sean Feucht, but we also have one of him interviewing Eric Metaxes. Please receive them and let the videos and the words spark your lights of faith.
Today we also have five articles in our “Recommended Reading” section and several article links in our “Around the Republic” section. There is loads of information to help feed your minds and hearts!

The “Message of Light” endeavor had been part of the “David Project” that originated as a genuine inspiration from our Heavenly Father, initiated to bring Light into the dark in this time. The project developed from 2018, and as we approach our third anniversary of existence, we have formally elevated the “David Project” to the more formal “LightWing Mission,” my personal ministry, which I had announced in previous messages.
These messages are freely offered and sent to you as part of the “LightWing Mission.” Please receive today’s messages as a gift from those who care. They are only words being offered, freely; yet, some contain a deep message of faith, or a much deeper expression of heart that readers can hopefully receive into their lives. As it has been written: “Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.” Proverbs 29:18 - KJV
May we, who are called by His name, humble ourselves, and to seek His face, and truly repent, and honestly turn from our wicked ways - because if we do not, our land will not be healed, but further divided. May we determine to truly take greater responsibility to re-establish His dominion - seeking to reclaim “One Nation Under God.”

The Biblical Basis of the Bill of Rights
By Pastor Earl C. Wallace and Dennis Jamison
4/23/2019
The government of the United States is a constitutional republic, meaning we are organized under a constitution of laws that everyone is supposed to obey, from the President of the United States to the youngest person. Yet, many citizens do not clearly understand all the provisions of the U.S. Constitution. And today, many citizens do not easily realize that there is a discernible connection between the principles in America’s Bill of Rights and the Bible’s Ten Commandments. The Bill of Rights, also known as the first Ten Amendments to the U.S. Constitution, provided the framework within which our beloved homeland was governed and regulated.
These ten provisions of the Bill of Rights were written by America’s founding fathers to guide the government of the newly created United States. These ten provisions are rooted in the Judeo-Christian based Ten Commandments. These Commandments, and other Biblical principles, are the foundations of the Judeo-Christian ethic, which is the value system America’s Founding Fathers utilized when constructing America’s founding documents. This connection can be described as “The Biblical Basis of The Bill of Rights,” which applies personal responsibility before God to corporate and civic life, so that no matter what occupation, position or pursuit one enters, the same behaviors are expected, and should be anticipated.
“The Biblical Basis of The Bill of Rights” expresses how the Ten Commandments parallel the Bill of Rights. In fact, the Bill of Rights could have been named “The Ten Commandments for Government.” Those who have the basic knowledge of The Ten Commandments understand that they are written in a series of do and don’ts or “Thou shalt nots.” When people obey them, such as Commandment number six, which says ‘Thou shall not murder,” everyone else enjoys the right to not be murdered. In the same manner, when the U.S. federal government obeys its “Thou shalt nots” codified in the Bill of Rights, then “We the People” enjoy our rights to pursue life, liberty and happiness – as long as we do not violate the Ten Commandments against other citizens while engaging in our own pursuits.
When government obeys the Bill of Rights it safeguards our people’s rights, so “We the People” enjoy freedom. When government violates the Bill of Rights that safeguards the people’s rights, it violates the freedom from “We the People.” Operating in God’s wisdom of the Founding Fathers, they constructed rules for to compel government to treat “We the People” according to the Ten Commandments. In fact, the U.S. Bill of Rights are so Biblically-based that government cannot violate one of them without also violating at least one of the Ten Commandments, and vice versa. Since the Ten Commandments express the way God wants a civil society to function, when government violates one of the Bill of Rights and — simultaneously violates breaking one of the Ten Commandments, it is violating the way God wants us to live.
Specifically, in the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson and the rest of the signers of that cornerstone document dramatically proclaim that people have “inalienable rights” that are “endowed” to them by a “Creator.” Moreover, that the governments are established by people for the purpose of securing the “endowed” rights, they can be abolished by the people for attempting to violate those rights.
The cornerstone of these concepts is The Declaration of Independence, drafted by Thomas Jefferson and approved by the rest of the Constitution’s signers, dramatically proclaims that we have “inalienable rights” that are “endowed” to us by our “Creator.” Moreover, that governments are established by people for the purpose of securing these “endowed” rights. We the People” are encouraged to abolish any government that attempts to violate those rights.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government… (The Declaration of Independence)
These inalienable rights also are called “Natural Rights” and are derived from the “Laws of Nature” and “Nature’s God,” as reflected in The Ten Commandments. This means that the inalienable rights were also expressed in The Ten Commandments. This more specifically means:
As God explains how we are to worship Him in Commandments one through four, America’s Founding Fathers realized God is saying in Commandments one through four, that “Everyone has a right to worship Him publicly in those ways.” This is why America’s historical buildings have Bible references carved into them in stone – by architectural design, not as the result of college pranksters sneaking around at night to place them there.
In Commandment Five, God explains that He wants honor to be the guiding principle of our families, so the Founding Fathers limited government’s ability to interfere with a family’s faith in God, and their personal desires for how they raise their children, and how they inherit their family’s property. The Bible also places responsibility for educating children squarely on the shoulders of their parents.
God told us in Commandment Six, “Thou shalt not murder,” which is another way of saying all citizens have the right not to be murdered. So America’s Founding Fathers gave us the Second Amendment right to bear arms, so we can defend ourselves against criminals taking our lives.
God says in Commandment Seven that people should not commit adultery, nor fornication, which is having sex outside of marriage. In light of this, the Founding Fathers realized that everyone has a right to conduct their lives according to God’s commands about sexual relations, and the laws they made reflected this. America’s legal system traditionally has provided strict penalties as a deterrent to rape and kidnapping, which violates God’s desire for people to be secure in their own persons. This is the opposite of how today in government-provided public schools, children are mandated to learn an evil and destructive plan for their sexuality instead of God’s plan for their natural humanity.
Where God says, in Commandment Eight, we should not steal, America’s Founding Fathers understood that God is saying that everyone has a right not to be stolen from. When government steps over the line and steals from people either through excessive taxation, fees and regulations, it is ripping off a) itself, b) “We the people,” and c) those deprived of their property – out of God’s plan for the material blessings of all involved! In God’s sight, this is sin regardless of how people who work in government try to cloak the activities under the guise of the “greater good,” or through “eminent domain,” or some other positive sounding propaganda dissembling.
Where God says in Commandment Nine we should not “bear false witness against one’s neighbor,” it denounces people who lie. America’s Founding Fathers understood that God is saying that everyone has a right not to be led astray by being lied to, or lied about.
Where God says in Commandment Ten we should not covet, America’s Founding Fathers understood that God is saying everyone has a right not to be conspired against by others (including especially those acting as stewards of our government institutions, who should not covet our four P’s, meaning: a) our persons, b) our people, c) our positions, and/or d) our possessions.
We understand that people who violate the Commandments God gives His children, will include those who work in government. So, citizens need to keep in mind America’s Founding Fathers understood that only people who possess a Judeo-Christian value system that honors the Ten Commandments, would administer freedom as they and God intended. The government cannot make enough laws that will force dishonest and evil people obey them. Only conscientious people, who have a Ten Commandments oriented value system, are those who are qualified to administer, represent, and oversee the American way of life the Founding Fathers established and codified in the Bill of Rights and the U.S. Constitution. This would safeguard and empower “We the People.”
