Michigan District, LCMS Hymn to Their District President

This was done at the Michigan District, LCMS, convention.
Sung to "I know that my Redeemer lives."


Mrs. Ichabod asked, after I sang the hymn to her, "Who wrote that? The DP?"

This graphic appeared overnight, but I waited to see what really happened, in case it was one of those Internet hoaxes.

The DP said something humorously, and this was a humorous response. A long comment thread on Facebook is denouncing people with no sense of humor, but I think this was done in poor taste. The DPs already think that way and act that way. No encouragement is needed.

People just do not realize that their Facebook efforts are published for all the world to see. Those graphics do not go away.

Like the WELS Michigan District, the Missouri Michigan District has been in love with Church Growth since the beginning. I recall copying junk from the LCMS Michiganders where they called their committee - Evangelism and Church Growth. In other words, the committee was devoted to Fuller dogma and practices.

The two districts could easily merge, giving Missouri a prep school in Saginaw and WELS a few more students to pay tuition. There are no significant doctrinal differences and many areas of complete agreement:


  1. Church Growth is the ultimate. 
  2. The DP is infallible. 
  3. Holy Mother Church is indefectible.


Someone posted this as a response to the DP hymn.
