Last week I ended by saying that both of the Prodigal father’s sons were a-like when it came to their inner beliefs about the father’s character.

In my last blog I said struggling Christians fit into either one or both of two categories that are characterize by the prodigal father’s two sons. I also said that both wanted to please the father. It is easy to see how that is true in the case of the elder son but it is
