Back at the very beginning of the Lisa Miller saga, a Facebook page called “Only One Mommy: The Story of Lisa and Isabella Miller” that had been created by Rena Lindevaldsen, Miller’s attorney and a professor at Liberty University Law School suddenly went dark and an announcement was made it would be “replaced by a new group (still to be named) that will be created by Linda Wall.”
Wall, an “ex-gay” activist and close friend of Miller’s who was among those named in a RICO lawsuit filed by Miller’s ex-partner Janet Jenkins, created a Facebook group called “Lisa and Isabella” where she occasionally posted updates on the Miller case along with prayers for all those involved.
On Saturday, with Hurricane Sandy closing in on the East Coast, Wall set off a bit of controversy when she posted this short message on the group’s page:
That statement, understandably, did not sit well with some of the Vermont-based members of the group:
Now what I am seeing is people openly admitting to imprecatory prayer that God will smite my neighbors and me because of where we live. Not prayers that Vermont’s politicians and judges will see the error of their ways and come around. Not love. Hatred. And the worst part is that it’s not just hatred for enemies, but for innocent people. We must pay the price too solely because of where we live.
And then when I object to prayers FOR MY DEVASTATION (yes that’s personal!), I’m met with self-righteous self-justification and excuses. I’m told that I need to do things that are not practical or else I deserve to be harmed.
But Wall was unapologetic, shooting back that “God’s judgment is upon this country” and Hurricane Sandy was an example of God’s vengeance:
I didn’t expect most of you to agree with my statement. But I tell you this the tragedy here is that a little six year old Christian girl and her born again Mother had to flee America in order to obey God’s Word.
And now a Minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ is facing imprisonment for helping protect a little child from being removed from her biological Christian Mother and turned over to a stranger.
Christians who loved and nurtured Lisa and Isabella through the six plus years are also being sued for obeying God’s Word. So look in the mirror and decide where your commitment is.
Vengeance is God’s and He does repay.
Not surprisingly, all the offending posts have since been removed.
