In this episode, Pastor Mike answers a challenging and emotional question: how should you respond to a sibling who claims to be a Christian but continues living in sin?
He explains the balance between truth and relationship—drawing from 1 Corinthians 5–6 and the book of 1 John. While we are called to love others, we are not called to ignore sin, especially when someone professes faith in Christ. Instead, believers are called to lovingly confront, take sin seriously, and encourage repentance.
At the same time, family relationships add complexity. This teaching helps you navigate that tension with wisdom—holding onto truth without abandoning love, and recognizing the seriousness of spiritual danger while still pointing your loved one back to Christ.
