Spiritually Sick

 If a drunk comes into church to pray, to feel quiet safety, a respite from the chaos of their life, and they do not act well, but even a bit badly, I don’t judge them or tell them to get out.  They are spiritually sick, and at that moment are trying to get well in as best a way that they can.  Why judge a spiritually sick person for bad behavior?  It would be like trying to throw a drunk out of an AA meeting who is there to get well.  This is the best they can do at the moment.  When my behavior is somewhat immature I reveal that I am spiritually sick at the moment.  I need help, not judgment.
