When we place family above God we have an idol. God first, then the people of God. Unsaved family members are not family to us. We must see unsaved family members as those who need to become born again into God's family. Until they do this they have no fellowship with us.
One of the reasons we see so much of Christianity being watered down producing only baby food, is because too many Christians are spending too much time with ungodly people. They have compromised their walk with Christ to remain with family who do not love Him. The family members have become more important than Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 5:6-11
"Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things the wrath of God is coming on the sons of disobedience. / Therefore do not be partakers with them. / For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light,"
1 John 1:5-7
"And this is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you: God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. / If we say we have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. / But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin."
