COMMUNION
Among the lost messages of Christianity communion ranks right up there
with giving, faith, and salvation. The Old Dragon does his job well when it
comes to things that get us in contact with God. The greater Truths of God can
always be found surrounded with controversy. Money and the Church has forever
been a hotbed of debate. The Faith and Works battle has raged since James was
faced down by Paul at the first church council in Jerusalem. The shortest
investigation of the treatment of communion by various factions of Christendom
will uncover many variations and rules regarding the ritual.
Communion is no longer a simple act of faith done in one's home. Some
folks can't take communion unless they are members of the church! Others only
get to have half the elements! Some pastors can't give communion to a
hospitalized parishioner without permission from the governing board of the
church! There must be something worthwhile in communion for the Devil to stir
the pot with so much confusion. Time to find out the God-Truth in communion.
