He needs Jesus.
Seriously. He does not have the power to help himself.
And you will exhaust yourself trying to help him.
He has done this gig so long, he knows all the tricks to manipulate people.
He was given a gift and he squandered it.
He refuses to believe that.
You are a good hearted soul, one of the few people left that have not cut ties to him.

And he will not change unless he has absolutely no other choice.
He needs heavenly help, with power from the Holy Spirit.
John Chapter 3 tells him the only way to get it.
