COMMUNION DONE RIGHT

When we participate in communion, do we REALLY do it with our hearts, our vertical AND horizontal relationships made right? That is what God commands of us to do. But how many times do we take those crackers (in my church) and grape juice mini-shots just so we don't let those around us and those serving them to us know that something is not right? I admit I am guilty of this sin. I am vowing publicly here with each one of you as my human witnesses that I will no longer participate in communion each month (in my church we do it the first Sunday of every month) unless to the best of my knowledge and Holy Spirit's witnessing to my heart that my vertical relationship with my God is right AND that my horizontal relationships with my colleagues and brothers and sisters are right. We are only to take communion AFTER we have examined our hearts and made sure that we are not only fessed up but also have things settled with our neighbors. How about you? Will you join me in this commitment?

oh such deep insight..and how sadly true? Jesus knew that even when He offered up that first communnion that Judas would later that night betray Him...How often have I sat there during communion watching someone else take part when I know that they are wrong or in sin...HELLO WAKE UP CALL....take taht plank out of your eye Ruth...
Thanks Tim for the insight.
