HOUSTON, Texas — Pro-abortion activists disrupted Joel Osteen‘s sermon at the televangelist’s Lakewood Church in Houston on Sunday, stripping down to their undergarments and shouting expletives and pro-abortion slogans before they were escorted out of the building.

The Twitter account TX4ABORTION posted videos of the incident, the latest in a series of pro-abortion demonstrations targeting churches in recent weeks. The demonstrations are in response to a leaked U.S. Supreme Court draft opinion last month that suggested a conservative majority on the court is poised to oveturn the landmark Roe v. Wade decision in 1973 that legalized abortion nationwide.


Julianne D'Eredita, 21, of Austin, Texas, told CNA in an interview Sunday that she led the group of 13 activists on behalf of the Austin-based affiliate of Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights, an activist group that calls for protests against pro-lifers and pro-life laws.

The demonstrators were detained by the police and told they were would be charged with a crime if they returned, D'Eredita said.

Was Joel Osteen doing something right, or was he just well known enough to be a target? In any event it shows that the abortionists aren't only attacking Catholic churches.

So what kind of churches don't get attacked at all?

 

[joymercy]

Joel did not pray for them, nor lead his congregation in prayer for their souls, for their salvation, for the salvation of sinners....Nope.

That is the difference.

The One True Faith, based upon Jesus Christ, from the very beginning is the voice that's missing here.

Joel said that as long as he was up there no one elses voice could be heard.

That is pride and arrogance talking.

Where is Gods voice Joel?

We will pray for those poor, misguided women who need to know how precocious they are to God, as are all lives, as we are all created in His image.

So were you there? Who there out all those people were praying? Did anyone there get together and pray for them when the lights were off no cameras on? How about the days before when they met? Or the Sunday before that or before that? Yeah I know I can't pray for everyone but praise God someone some where is. See were one family.

Praise GOD you can be still praying for them.. seems you have a burden for them.

I've never been at any sort of church service where protesters protested. I would imagine it would be a bit of a shock for a pastor, even if he has role played the possibilities. So I don't know if I would do all the right things myself. What exactly would you do, or not do?

D‘Eredita told CNA she attended Osteen’s church as a child and knows Osteen personally. While Osteen has expressed pro-life views in the past, the abortion issue does not play a prominent role in his ministry. D‘Eredita said the activist group chose Osteen’s evangelical non-denominational church — whose church building can seat 16,800 — because its broadcasts attract millions of viewers around the world.

So it wasn't that Osteen is known as any sort of pro-life leader, but one of the women knew the place well enough to scheme how to get mega-publicity there. He was just enough pro-life that it would cause a stir. I'll give it to them that they caused a stir.

Looks like only three actually semi-clothed yellers, and at least two more on cameras to record the antics. Outside about the same. Five to maybe eight people. So it's still a tiny tiny thing. They had more security on them inside the building than they had themselves.

This was an opportunity to reach souls who may never have been inside of a church before.

In particular, I was highlighting my disdain for Joel Osteen not leading in prayer for them, not anyone of the congregation.

In particular, I was thinking of how differently the Catholic church responds to this issue, and what could have been done differently, as far as prayer.

There young women, nearly naked, and looking rather fragile among so many....it seemed like a cry for help actually.

It hurt to see them. It was sad and heart breaking to me.

Do they know Gods love for them?

This may have been the only time they would ever be inside of a church.....so why not help them?

"God loves you"

"You are precious in His sight"

"He died for you"

"You are welcome to stay for the service"

"What is your name?"

"Can we pray for you?"

The Master ascended, now we, the friends of Christ, must finish the work, by being His disciples and ministering to the lost, the sick, the needy , the poor, the suffering, etc....

Absolutely....they seemed fragile and hurting.

I do have a burden for them....and pray with the many people I meet at planned parenthood...

Its a matter of discernment and prudence to help in a reasonable way

 

[joymercy]

Seems we are on the rundown to the end times, and to save even one soul is so very worth the effort.....
