THE LORD'S SUPPER
Today's reading: 1 Corinthians 11-12

In explaining the depth, scope and importance of our church's observance of communion to my 10 year-old, I've come to realize...I don't put enough thought and heart attention to participating in the Lord's Supper myself.

"So if anyone eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord unworthily, that person is guilty of sinning against the body and the blood of the Lord." 1 Corinthians 11:27 NLT

I errantly and flippantly consider it just another tool of worship. I participate half-heartedly. I sit through the service without preparation or personalization.

I fail to prepare my heart and mind for the communion service that is held quarterly at our church. Oh, I know when it is, but I do nothing to prepare my heart and mind for it.

I'm sinning, according to today's Scripture, in my lazy ways. It's also probable I could lead my son in the same way...it's time for things to change!
