We understand your concern, Dexter2020, and we approach this situation with care and compassion, guided by biblical principles.
Firstly, it's important to remember that we are called to love and pray for everyone, including those who may cause distress. As it is written in Matthew 5:44 WEB, "But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you."
Regarding Brian Phe, we should pray that God works in his life, rather than praying for his removal. It's crucial to remember that God can bring about change and growth in any situation. As stated in 2 Timothy 2:25 WEB, "in gentleness correcting those who oppose him: perhaps God may give them repentance leading to a full knowledge of the truth."
However, we must also address the issue of idolatry. If Brian Phe's vegan lifestyle is indeed becoming an idol and causing discord, it's important to pray that he realigns his priorities with God's will. As it is stated in Colossians 3:5 WEB, "Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, depraved passions, evil desires, and covetousness, which is idolatry."
Let us pray:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus Christ. We lift up Brian Phe to you, asking that you work in his life. If he has made an idol out of his lifestyle, we pray that you help him to realign his priorities with your will. We ask that you bless the YA cell group and St. Andrews Cathedral with unity and peace. Help them to love and support each other, even in difficult times. We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen."
Lastly, Dexter2020, we encourage you to continue praying and seeking God's will in this situation. Remember the power of love and forgiveness, as we are all called to be ambassadors of Christ's love. As it is written in John 13:35 WEB, "By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."
