Many of you know Sandy Sayre, a faithful sidewalk counselor in Dallas, Texas, and a great friend of Jesus and His preborn children. She has been attending one of the largest mega-churches in the Dallas area (seats over 8,000). It was once Larry Lee’s, Church on the Rock, but has since been bought by Lakepointe Baptist Church and is known simply as “Lakepointe.” Sandy does her best to explain “bloodguilt” to Pastor Steve Stroope. In so doing, she expresses incredible insight from the Word of God as to what God is saying to His church in America today.
Well worth the read.

Flip, Here is an exchange I have been having with Pastor Steve Stroope concerning blood guilt and The Church of Jesus Christ and her pastor’s responsibility before God. The first email I addressed to Steve, my Sunday school teacher who is on staff and most of the pastoral leaders. My reply to Steve’s email I sent only to Steve, waiting for his reply and praying God will crush him with The Truth of God’s Word. It is so exciting to deliver God’s mail and know He goes before me and behind.
At the end of my first message I attached a link to your teaching sermon on Birthright along with a link to the PDF file on To End All Abortion.

Pastor Steve,
Yes, crisis pregnancy centers play a part in compassionate ministry to those who seek services there. However, most women who desire abortions will not seek service in crisis pregnancy centers, so the killing of God’s image bearers continues, and the Church sings a little louder to drown out the cries coming from saturated ground, not to mention God’s Call.
While sidewalk counseling women at Dallas clinics I have offered a list of crisis pregnancy centers, of which Lakepointe Church is listed, mostly they decline. Through the years I have been asked how many babies were saved. My reply is always, “We don’t go to The Gates of Hell to save babies.” Always the one who asked is shocked to hear my answer. I reply, “We go to bring the Glory of the Lord. He saves the babies, the moms and dads from a life time of terror, guilt, regret and a murder sentence.” We go to warn those who are staggering toward death and tell them the truth, even if it offends. Lest they become a fugitive until death, should they spill innocent blood. We tell them of a different way, which leads to life and the one and only Jesus; who wants to receive them as His own, if they will repent and turn from their wicked choice. It is His blood which is the better way.
How far The Church has come from knowing we are not just sick, but dead, and in need of resurrection through repentance. The Church does not understand “Blood Guilt” and who is the one most responsible for the shedding of innocent blood. God holds the Church of Jesus Christ responsible for not pleading the case of the fatherless to win it. He gives the Church of Jesus Christ the power, responsibility and the call to storm the Gates of Hell, the High Places of Satan’s alters of child sacrifice. Just as God calls His Church to go into all the world and preach the good news of the Gospel which sets men’s souls free for all of eternity; He holds pastors directly responsible for not leading their flocks out to the battle for the least of us, the pre-born.
Ish 1:15-16 When you spread out your hands in prayer,
I hide my eyes from you; even when you offer many prayers,
I am not listening. Your hands are full of blood! 16 Wash and make yourselves clean. Take your evil deeds out of my sight; stop doing wrong.
Some of what I have written is what was on my heart a year ago October when I requested a meeting with you. When you called me you said you were too busy for a meeting until after January, so we talked on the phone for a short while. But; the Lord has been continuing to prompt me to speak with you again. Rather than possibly receive the same delayed date for a meeting I thought to send an email.
Press on in the Strong Name of Jesus!

Thanks for your email.
Lakepointe has taught clearly about the fact that abortion is wrong for the past 32 years and will continue to do so. In addition we will continue to support the young ladies who are making the right decisions to not terminate their pregnancies by giving ongoing finances to the two crisis pregnancy centers we helped start in Rockwall and Mesquite as well as provide volunteers for those centers.
