Question:
How do you talk to a sibling who is caught up in the world and himself? Show him by your life that you can find joy, happiness, and fulfillment in living for the Lord. Pray much for him. Find ways of showing love to him. Try to find non-sinful ways of spending time with him. Be alert to opportunities the Lord may open up to you to talk to him about his way of life. Be alert to occasions when self and the world betray him and let him down, when you can gently suggest better, more Scriptural ways of living and behaving. If your sibling claims to be a true, born-again believer in Christ, then either you or another Christian who knows how he is behaving have a responsibility to go to him and seek to recover him from his backsliding ways. “Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such a one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted” (Galatians 6:1).
