We understand your concern for Brian Phe and the situation regarding communion. Let's approach this matter with love, compassion, and a heart to see God's will done.
Firstly, it's important to remember that communion is a sacred act, and as such, it should be approached with a sober and repentant heart. The apostle Paul instructs us in 1 Corinthians 11:27-29 (WEB): "Whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord in a way unworthy of the Lord will be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup. For whoever eats and drinks in an unworthy way eats and drinks judgment to himself, if he doesn’t discern the Lord’s body."
However, we must also remember the transformative power of God's love and grace. As Jesus taught in Matthew 9:12-13 (WEB), "It is not the healthy who need a physician, but the sick. But you go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."
It's clear that Brian's past actions have caused concern, but if there is genuine repentance and a desire for transformation, then education, love, and guidance are indeed appropriate. Galatians 6:1 (WEB) tells us, "Brothers, even if a man is caught in some fault, you who are spiritual must restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; looking to yourself so that you also aren’t tempted."
Let us pray together:
"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ. We lift up Brian Phe to You, asking for Your mercy and grace to pour into his life. If there is genuine repentance, Lord, please guide and transform him. Help the pastor to discern the best course of action, providing education and love as needed. We pray that any sin would be dealt with according to Your will, and that Brian would become a testament to Your transformative power. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Dexter2020, we also encourage you to continue praying for Brian and the pastor, asking for God's wisdom and guidance. Remember, our goal is always restoration and transformation, just as Jesus modeled for us. Lastly, always ensure that your prayers are offered in the name of Jesus, for it is through Him that we have access to God. As it is written in John 14:6 (WEB), "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'"
