Should I really be shocked that my junior high gym teacher is a socialist? It was a long time ago that I was in junior high and all the run-ins I’ve had with my former teachers have been horrendous. I’ve had an online conversation with a teacher who hates the Bible. I tried to witness to a high school teacher on the street who was half drunk and hostile to the gospel. And now my junior high teacher goes public as a coveter.

She wrote a letter to the editor endorsing raising taxes for a swimming pool. If you support forcing people to pay for a swimming pool because you want a swimming pool, you’re committing the sin of covetousness.

Here’s the craziest line in the whole thing. Char Lindner says, “But this is a time to sacrifice and spend my money on doing what is for the greater good of all and stop thinking of myself.”

She wants a pool and she’s willing to pay for the pool so to stop thinking about herself she want everyone to be forced to pay for a pool whether they like it or not. It seems she is thinking only of herself. She doesn’t care about anyone but herself and she doesn’t care what the minority of voters think.

“For you may be sure of this, that everyone who is sexually immoral or impure, or who is covetous (that is, an idolater), has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God” (Ephesians 5:5).

Char Lindner is an idolater.
