My oldest brother who has been in and out of the church for years, talked to me today, and for the first time ever, he asked for prayer for his family. His wife also was raised in the SDA church, and there are children involved.
He and his wife own a big business in our state.
Over the past year their relationship has been strained, and now there is a great possibility that they will get divorced. He has taken a 6 week vacation to try to sort things out, and sent my father who worked at his business on a vacation as well to the great lakes during this time.
He now is asking many questions. I think this is turning him to God in some sort of way. I am praying that the Lord will open not only his, but his wife and children's eyes to see their need of a Savior, and to come back to God.
He never wants to discuss religious matters period! He has had some very harsh opinions about the church and the SOP in the past. Somehow, he thinks that when the sunday laws come, if he is around at that time, he will be ready, and can join the church then. I have not been able to approach him on any of these issues, because of his opinions.
It just surprised me that he talked to me about prayer. This tells me that he is open to some degree at this point. I please ask for your prayer for my brother and his family.
Thanks,
Your brother in christ.
