Desert Stream's Response
This afternoon, I received an email "prayer alert" from Desert Stream Ministries regarding the movie, Brokeback Mountain. Andrew left the homosexual lifestyle over 25 years ago, and now he and his family minister literally around the globe to people struggling with sexual and relational brokenness. I was trained by Desert Stream to run two of their programs, Living Waters and CrossCurrent. Andy is very wise in these areas, and God has given him grace upon grace in leading people out of the lifestyle. Here is what they said:
"Greetings!!!
"We hope your Christmas Season is happy one. We wanted to make you aware of an urgent prayer need. The recent movie, 'Brokeback Mountain' portrays the relationship of two gay cowboys. It rationalizes the gay lifestyle, romantizes adultery and marginalizes the violence done to families because of homosexual infidelity. This movie is a demonic assault on the culture, Jesus and His church.
"Please pray for our culture and its view of homosexuality. Our culture, like never before, is bowing down to false gods and is giving itself over to darkness.
"Please pray for the church that she would stand in the light and bring an answer to this perversion. The church, in trying to be 'kind', is indecisive. We believe the Lord is calling her to fight and take a stand. Pray that this might happen.
"Please pray for those who have been deceived by the culture. Pray that in grace, the Lord might come close and tear away false assumptions and identities.
"Please pray that the Lord would raise up young men and women who have thoughtfully repented from homosexuality and have found good life in the Kingdom. Pray that these ones would make a way for a generation of young people that have lost their way.
"As always, we are blessed that you pray for us."
