Yellow ribbon? Blue ribbon, Oh my what would the heavenly father do

Our heavenly Father, I suspect, doesn’t much care one way or the other, says Kevin Leininger. Yeah, Leininger speaks for the man upstairs. This time its not about taking homes from African-American families that surround Zion Lutheran Church in which Leininger is a member. But this time Leininger is admonishing Pastor Vernon Graham.

Who Leininger reminds the pastor has only a small congregation when compared to the Lutherans in Fort Wayne.

But with all due respect to the Grahams and their 126 member congregations, this is one area in which the church should not interfere with a decision rightfully left to the state – and not just because Scripture is silent on the issue.

Leininger is good for playing the race card..or political card. Leininger goes onto almost compare Graham to the late Jerry Falwell. You know the non lutheran who said outloud what some of the lutheran followers were really thinking about blacks, same sex and other folks. You know the thoughts of a great christian raced white male.

When the Rev. Jerry Falwell died last week, many commentators accused him – with some justification – of inappropriately injecting religion into politics. But at least much of Falwell’s attention focused on moral issues in which the church has a legitimate biblical interest.

But Leininger suggests that Graham is overreaching into affairs that the church has no business in, that is the funding of schools.

The Grahams are entitled to participate in government as private citizens, but should be circumspect about doing so in their official church-sponsored capacity – especially when they are advocating a tax increase from which their agency and its members will be exempt.

Yet Leininger church, Zion Lutheran and Leininger have no problem promoting or connecting church to the taking of home for the betterment of the community with government dollars that surround Zion Lutheran Church. Hey the church had no problem with having meeting with Mark to convince folks that they had a chance of owning one of the overpriced homes in the neighborhood. Marks gone now, so is the bully pastor, too bad but Leininger is still around.


What Leininger probably wanted to say to Rev. Graham is that the church school enrollment is down. And the church school could use some of that money if Fort Wayne Community Schools is forced to close some of their schools.

And Rev. Graham, Leininger probably wanted to tell you, our children education come before any black children and you should have read that memo a long time ago. Because our children mean raced white children and not black children.
Leininger would probably say all that with a big nonthreatening smile, because he is a christian...in one of the most segregated places in the world on Sunday morning..the church. And that is what good Christian do, hate with a smile.

I had to tell you, Rev. Graham because I believe that what Jesus would do.
