Shooting The Fainthearted & Weak S8e17 1thes5:14

How might the church respond to the fainthearted and weak?  The old joke is that the church is the only place where we shoot our wounded.  This is exactly NOT what Paul is saying. 

Fainthearted people are those who are losing heart, and running on empty.  It may be from sickness, problems, consequences of sin, age, grief or conflict.  Our response is to ENCOURAGE.

Weak people just plain lack the capacity in relation to the task. For those who have a piano to move, literally or figuratively, the charge is to HELP.

Your life should be FULL of people like this.  If you can't name 5 people who are fainthearted or weak right this second, then you need to get into FELLOWSHIP.  Someday you too will be fainthearted and you are going to need those five people you helped and encouraged today.
