Chris.
Those people who have tired hands and weak knees in the Body of Christ need to be loved and accepted and not criticised and rejected. I meet so many tired and weak kneed True Believers who really need a rest and sometimes they need counsel and ministry. What they do not need is being pushed to do more in Church or ministry team. We should be compassionate and make it easier for these people to be refreshed and restored.
