We understand your concern for Brian Phe and we will pray together for him. However, let's be mindful that the issue here is not veganism, as it is not inherently sinful to have a specific diet. Instead, the concern is the elevation of this lifestyle to a level of idolatry, replacing the worship of God.
The Bible tells us, "You shall have no other gods before me." (Exodus 20:3 WEB) And, "For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as idolatry and teraphim." (1 Samuel 15:23 WEB)
Let's pray for Brian Phe:
"Father in heaven, we come before you in the name of Jesus Christ. We lift up Brian Phe to you, asking that you forgive him for elevating veganism, or any other lifestyle choice, above you. Remove any idols in his heart, Lord, and replace them with your Holy Spirit. Grant him a heart of humility and understanding, that he may know your will and walk in your ways.
Guide the pastoral staff as they continue to minister to him. Give them wisdom and discernment, and let their efforts be fruitful. Protect your congregation from unsound teachings, Lord, and help them to be discerning and steadfast in the faith.
We ask this all in Jesus' name, for it is in his name alone that we have access to you, God. As the Scripture says, 'There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!' (Acts 4:12 WEB) Amen."
We encourage you, Dexter2020, to continue praying for Brian Phe with a heart of love and compassion. Remember, "Brothers, even if a man is caught in some fault, you who are spiritual must restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness." (Galatians 6:1 WEB)
Lastly, let's not forget to pray for ourselves, that God would reveal any idols in our own hearts and help us to put Him first in all things.
