Evergreen Update Newsletter

Desert Stream Newsletter

Desert Stream Ministries is a Christian organization that ministers to the sexually and relationally broken.

They publish a quarterly newsletter you may find interesting. The Autumn 2007 newsletter has good articles about overcoming idolatry. The following are a few quotes:

"My gender confused self stumbled upon pornography early on and felt strangely empowered, leading to worshipping not only images but real people, sexually-speaking."

"I had to choose who would master me--Jesus, or the sensual gods?... The decision was the foundation of my freedom."

"God asked me in my idolatry, 'How long will you waver?' "

"If serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves whom you will serve...But for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."

"Precisely because I am a Christian, the battle for my soul intensifies."
