CSN Sunday - LightWing Messages for 5/22/2022
““Moreover, the Lord your God will circumcise your heart and the hearts of your descendants, to love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul, so that you may live.
And the Lord your God will inflict all these curses on your enemies and on those who hate you, who persecuted you. And you will again obey the Lord, and follow all His commandments which I am commanding you today. Then the Lord your God will prosper you abundantly in every work of your hand, in the children of your womb, the offspring of your cattle, and in the produce of your ground, for the Lord will again rejoice over you for good, just as He rejoiced over your fathers; if you obey the Lord your God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which are written in this Book of the Law, if you turn to the Lord your God with all your heart and soul.
“For this commandment which I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you, nor is it far away. It is not in heaven, that you could say, ‘Who will go up to heaven for us and get it for us, and proclaim it to us, so that we may follow it?’ Nor is it beyond the sea, that you could say, ‘Who will cross the sea for us and get it for us and proclaim it to us, so that we may follow it?’ On the contrary, the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may follow it.
Choose Life
“See, I have placed before you today life and happiness, and death and adversity, in that I am commanding you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in His ways and to keep His commandments, His statutes, and His judgments, so that you may live and become numerous, and that the Lord your God may bless you in the land where you are entering to take possession of it. But if your heart turns away and you will not obey, but allow yourself to be led astray and you worship other gods and serve them, I declare to you today that you will certainly perish. You will not prolong your days in the land where you are crossing the Jordan to enter and take possession of it. I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have placed before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants, by loving the Lord your God, by obeying His voice, and by holding close to Him; for [z]this is your life and the length of your days, so that you may live in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.” Deuteronomy 30:1 (NASB)
FOUNDER’S MESSAGE:
I had a different plan for the LightWing Messages today being that Sunday comes in the wake of the day of remembrance known as Armed Forces Appreciation Day, and after attending a quite stirring speech by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr yesterday evening. I awoke to the news that a friend of mine, and of the Citizen Sentinels Network, had passed away while I was attending that speech.
Kevin McCarthy was a great writer and we had featured some of his articles in our newsletter in days gone by and he will be truly missed. Mr. McCarthy had been a Tea Party leader in Virginia in the days when the Obama Administration was using the IRS to crack down on the deplorable realms across the nation. Most recently he had a thriving real estate photography business and contributed as a part-time volunteer to the Global Peace Foundation headquartered in D.C.
I first met Kevin McCarthy in the autumn of 2020 - the year COVID-mania had swept through the nation. He provided some fine southern hospitality to me, as I was on my way up to Washington, D.C. in that year. We had previously communicated via texts and emails prior to that time, as he had volunteered to help with the distribution of the Citizen Sentinels Network newsletter in his home state of Virginia. The volunteer who had been distributing it was not able to continue due to health concerns, and Mr. McCarthy was very willing to step into such a role. I was incredibly grateful. Kevin McCarthy was a teacher as well as a writer, and he appeared in an episode of the “True U.S. HIstory” videos we had been posting before I became the County Coordinator for the Election Integrity Project of California. I will include the link to that interview. McCarthy also was a contributor to our newsletter, and I am inserting links to a two-part article he wrote titled “Life is Precious.” He knew.
And, I knew Kevin McCarthy as an individual who had a deep and precious relationship with God. I am grateful for the opportunity to have known him. Thus, today’s message will be a tribute to a good man, a family man, a genuine public servant who was willing to help where he felt it would make a positive difference. I’ll miss our three-hour long conversations and his amazing stories, I’m sure his family will truly miss him, and the world will certainly miss Kevin McCarthy’s further contributions to make the world a better place. I’ve no doubt he will be resting (or teaching) in a better place from this time.
We hope our readers enjoy this LightWing message today as well as all of the aggregated messages. Read, absorb and share, and practice what is within you. May God’s blessings flow into and through all of our readers and all of your loved ones today and throughout this week.
=====================
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, approach our Father in Heaven in humility and seek not only His face, but His heart and His mind as well; may we confront our misgivings as well as our shortcomings and repent, and may we all turn away from our wicked ways. It is His Kingdom we were told to seek and His righteousness. May we take this much more seriously, as our lives are short and life is absolutely precious.

“Choose Life, Promote Life, and Protect Life”
By Dennis Jamison
May 22, 2022
In the very rush of life, which it can be sometimes, we are seemingly caught up in a current that carries us along, swiftly carrying us along as the world around us seems to rush past us, or we rush past the people, places, or events or things in our lives. When there is a break in such a hurried routine, a dramatic break of some kind, it can cause us to slow down and even to pause and take a more sustained look at what we may have been missing in the constant rush. This
often happens in times of illness or the death of a loved one. It causes us to reexamine our lives and perhaps reconsider the value of life itself. As I am writing this, I am missing a good friend who passed into the higher realms a day ago. Kevin McCarthy had suffered a mild stroke last week and then a more massive stroke a day or so ago, and now he is with us no more.
Kevin McCarthy (not the California politician) was a writer and a teacher and had been a strong Tea Party leader in Virginia when the federal government was cracking down on patriots who were striving to preserve Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of the American Dream (that the Founders had labeled as happiness, but what they understood to be the pursuit of virtue). McCarthy was a Conservative (not the California politician) who believed very strongly in virtue and understood the Founding Fathers intent in the pursuit of virtue. He understood that if Americans had been pursuing virtue from the time of the founding of the nation, we would not be in the mess we are in at the present time.
Kevin McCarthy was a contributor to the Citizen Sentinels Network newsletter, and as far as I am aware, he is the first one we have lost due to being called back to be with our Father in Heaven.I am going to offer some passages of his writing in this message to help keep what he believed alive in some small way. He was truly a freedom fighter and one who was striving to build God’s Kingdom in whatever way he could offer his help.
In May of 2020, McCarthy wrote a long article that our editors divided into two parts. The article was entitled “Life is Precious.” And, so it is. I am going to offer some excerpts of this article in hopes of keeping some of what made Kevin McCarthy, the true Kevin McCarthy (not a California politician). Here are some words of wisdom from McCarthy’s Life is Precious…
“When we last heard of Alisa LaPolt Snow of the Florida Alliance of Planned Parenthood Affiliates, she was seen in a 2013 YouTube video that went viral. The video shows her stammering badly in front of a Florida legislative committee in a poor attempt to answer
the question put forth to her:
Legislator (to Ms. Snow): ‘If a baby is born as a result of a botched abortion, what would Planned Parenthood want to happen to that baby struggling for life?’
Snow: ‘That decision should be between the patient and the health-care provider.’
Legislator: ‘Wouldn’t the ‘patient,’ at this point, be the baby struggling for life?’
Snow: ‘That’s a really good question. . . .uh. . .I. . .uh. . don’t know how to answer that.’
Well, thanks to the Journal of Medical Ethics, the answer has been provided. In a 2013 article, After-birth abortion: why should the baby live? Professors Alberto Giubilini and Francesca Minerva explicitly answer the question that had so confounded Ms. Snow: the baby dies.
As we have known for years, surviving infants have been systematically left to die as if under some unspoken premise that made no distinction between a fetus and a living, breathing infant child. In several states, efforts were made, but ultimately failed to legislatively protect such innocent children. For instance, Jill Stanek, a labor and delivery nurse at Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn, Illinois, began a movement that led, finally, to the 2003 Congressional “Born Alive Infant Protection Act.”
In more recent times, pro-abortion advocates have become even more brazenly open with their callous disregard for human life. In January of 2019, it was Virginia Governor Ralph Northam who attempted to describe infanticide as the new normal. ‘So in this particular example, if a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen,’ Northam, a pediatric neurosurgeon, told Washington radio station WTOP. ‘The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that is what the mother and the family desired. And then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother.’
Northam’s use of the word ‘resuscitated’ is intentionally deceptive, in that the child, obviously, has been born and is alive. The infant does not need to be “resuscitated,” it needs to be cared for. What Northam really means is the child is allowed to die. Oh, but that’s okay, the Governor assures us, the child will be keep ‘comfortable’ until then.
The Born Alive legislation is still being adamantly opposed by Planned Parenthood and other, so called Pro-Choice advocates like Northam. Their reasons, as Ms. Snow demonstrated in her muddled response, have been unconvincing, at best. . .and at worse, indicative of a much darker reality: that even a living, breathing child could be expendable – if deemed a deterrent to the interest of the woman who gave birth.
It is that darker reality for which Professors Giubilini and Minerva make the case adamantly clear in their article After-birth abortion: why should the baby live? The authors argue that what we call ‘after-birth abortion’ (killing a newborn) should be permissible in all the cases where abortion is allowed, including cases where the newborn is not disabled.
Their assertion is that a fetus and a newborn are not ‘actual people’ and are only ‘potential people.’ In their view, a newborn has the same limited status as a fetus. A potential person is, therefore, not a person; and, thus, to terminate a fetus or a newborn is of no moral relevancy.
You see? The killing of a baby is justified because the baby does not meet the Leftist standard of personhood as provided by Giubilini and Minerva. In their view, it is only when a person is able ‘to make aims and appreciate their life’ are they then morally subject to a ‘right to life’ and, make no mistake, those ‘aims’ had better be acceptable to the Left. Can you believe this monstrous illogic?”
…The [Giubilini and Minerva] article concludes with this final assertion:
‘If the moral status of the newborn is the same as that of the infant, and if neither has any moral value by virtue of being a potential person, then the same reasons which justify abortion should also justify the killing of the potential person when it is at the stage of a newborn.’
I would counter with this: ‘if the killing of an innocent, helpless newborn is an unspeakable, unequivocal, monstrous evil and if the reasons to do so are rooted in the same reasons used to justify aborting a fetus, then should not the killing of a fetus be also viewed as an act of evil?’
Asserting when life begins, when the value of a human emerges, when someone becomes a person should never become subject to the musing of anyone, certainly not haughty ‘professors’ and certainly not the political regimes they empower.
Life is a mystery, but though a mystery, we do know, unequivocally, one thing about life: that it is precious, that we all desire it and will do almost anything to hold on to it. Thus, because life is precious and because no one knows with certainty when viable human life and consciousness begins, it stands to reason and in the interest of society, therefore, to err on the side of the determination that human life and rights begin at conception. We should, therefore, protect it, especially at its most vulnerable and mysterious stages.
It is a most essential human nature to protect life. The evil of abortion is not only the death of a child, it is also an assault on the soul of society. It cows society into extinguishing what is a fundamental, inherent human nature: to value the preciousness of life and to protect it. This is why those that have had abortions, overwhelmingly testify to the feelings of remorse and to the deep psychological scars wrought upon them. The knowledge that a fetus is a precious life is placed within each human heart by God. When a child’s life is cut short, the human soul knows to mourn such an immeasurable loss.”
Kevin McCarthy could articulate well what others know intuitively, and what others have proclaimed emphatically. Mother Teresa once stated that “A nation that kills its children in the womb has lost its soul.” And so America has come to such a time as this.
