ANSWER: The document submitted teaches that as Christians, when we partake of the Lord’s Supper, we should:

A) Feel that God is talking to us.

B) Have feelings about how we are living in Christ.

C) Be thinking about who needs what in the Body.

D) Be thinking about the lost.

None of the four items suggested above are taught in the Word of God! The Lord’s Supper is simply and solely a reminder; a commemoration of the death of our Savior and is to be taken on the first day of every week (Acts 20:7) in His memory (1 Corinthians 11:24-25) to “show forth His death until He come” (1 Corinthians 11:26). It is not to be taken to show forth anything else, nor to remember anything else! To partake of the Lord’s Supper for the reasons listed by the author of the document in question is to violate God’s Word! The author of the document has suggested that Christians think about these four items in order to keep the Lord’s Supper from becoming “boring.” We would suggest that if the death of our Lord on the cross cannot keep the Lord’s Supper from becoming ritualistic and boring, then it is certain that those things suggested by the author, as well, cannot! When a Christian’s worship (John 4:24) is in spirit (the proper attitude) and truth (according to His will), the Lord’s Supper will not be boring or ritualistic to him, but, conversely, will be a significant and praiseworthy highlight of his week!
