The Lord’s Supper: A Holy Remembrance and Humble Examination

The Lord’s Supper: A Holy Remembrance and Humble Examination

"Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world." — 1 Corinthians 11:27-32 (KJB)

The ordinance of the Lord’s Supper is a sacred observance established for the purpose of remembrance. It is not a mere ritual or a social tradition, but a spiritual act where believers look backward to the cross and forward to His return. According to the King James Bible, we do this to "shew the Lord's death till he come." The bread represents His body, broken for us, and the cup represents the New Testament in His blood. By partaking, we are publicly testifying that our life and salvation are found entirely in the finished work of Jesus Christ. This is the "why" of the ordinance: to keep the sacrifice of Christ at the forefront of the believer’s mind and the church’s mission.

The setting for this ordinance is any gathering of believers where the Lord is honored. While often observed in a formal church service, the power of the ordinance lies not in the architecture of a building, but in the humble hearts of those gathered. Whether the assembly is large or small, formal or informal, the requirement remains the same: it must be a gathering characterized by unity and a recognition of the Lord's presence. When believers come together to eat this bread and drink this cup, they are acting as "one body," and therefore their hearts must be aligned with the holiness of the One they are remembering.

Paul’s warning in 1 Corinthians 11:29 is not about eternal condemnation but about God’s temporal discipline of His children. The word translated “damnation” is better understood as “judgment,” and the context makes clear that this judgment may take the form of weakness, sickness, or even physical death (“sleep”). This is corrective in nature, not condemning, much like 1 Corinthians 5:5 where the flesh is destroyed but the spirit remains saved. Believers in Christ are eternally secure, yet if they approach the Lord’s Supper carelessly or selfishly, God may intervene to preserve the purity of His church. Still, this chastening is entirely avoidable. Paul provides the safeguard in verse 31: “If we judge ourselves, we should not be judged.” God’s desire is not to chasten but for us to examine ourselves in light of His Word, acknowledge our selfishness or lack of charity, and correct it. When we rightly judge ourselves, the Lord has no need to step in with discipline to protect His Body.

The true preparation for the Lord’s Table is inward, a matter of discerning the Body of Christ and valuing the unity of His people. Before sharing the bread, the believer is called to examine his heart in light of God’s Word, recognizing whether selfishness, division, or disregard for others has crept in. This self‑judgment is not about proving moral worthiness, but about aligning our motives with the holiness and unity of Christ’s Body. When we humbly acknowledge and correct attitudes that dishonor the fellowship, we remove the need for God’s corrective discipline. His desire is not to chasten but to see His children walk in maturity, esteeming one another and reflecting the grace that secures us in Christ.

To see this in practice, picture a symphony orchestra preparing for a performance. Each musician has a unique part to play, but the beauty of the music depends on everyone listening to one another and following the conductor’s lead. Suppose the violinist enters with pride, determined to play louder than the rest, ignoring the harmony of the ensemble. The result is discord, and the conductor may need to stop the rehearsal to correct the imbalance.

But if that violinist pauses, recognizes their attitude, and chooses instead to blend with the group, the orchestra produces a unified sound that honors the composer’s intent. In the same way, when believers gather for the Lord’s Supper, the focus is not on individual display but on discerning the Body of Christ. By judging ourselves—checking our motives, setting aside pride, and esteeming others—we preserve the unity and holiness of the fellowship. When we fail to do so, the Lord may step in with discipline to protect the harmony of His church.

Understanding God’s Grace: Not in Instant Miracles but in Lasting Maturity

Understanding God’s Grace: Not in Instant Miracles but in Lasting Maturity

In many circles of modern Christianity, there is a prevailing sentiment that God is essentially "on call," always attending to the immediate needs and welfare of the believer as if He owes them or as if, through His love, He is expected to provide constant earthly comfort. Believers today often expect instant miracles or immediate answers to prayer because they figure that since they are Christians, God is obligated to shield them from all hardship. While God’s love for us is indeed infinite, this specific theology of guaranteed physical health and wealth actually belongs to God’s dealings with Israel in the kingdom dispensation. During that time, God made literal covenants with Israel to protect them, heal them, and save them from their earthly enemies as a sign of His favor, promising that "the Lord will take away from thee all sickness" (Deuteronomy 7:15) and that they would be "blessed in the basket and thy store" (Deuteronomy 28:5).

However, these national, physical covenants were not made with the Body of Christ today. We must recognize that God works with us in the Dispensation of Grace (Ephesians 3:2) in a very different way. In this present time, we are told that we "walk by faith, not by sight" (2 Corinthians 5:7), which means we do not rely on the visible "sight" of constant miracles to validate God's presence. Our primary blessings are not found in the bank account or the doctor’s office, but are "spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ" (Ephesians 1:3). While God certainly has the power and ability to work miracles today, it is not His current focus or His method for proving His love toward us. Our inheritance is spiritual and eternal, and we are instructed to set our affection on things above, not on things on the earth (Colossians 3:2).

We see this pattern most clearly in the life of the Apostle Paul, who is the pattern and example for those of us who believe today (1 Timothy 1:16). Paul did not live a life of ease or instant deliverance; rather, he suffered immensely in all manner of life and trial, including being "in weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness" (2 Corinthians 11:27). When Paul sought the Lord to remove his "thorn in the flesh," God did not provide a miracle of removal, but a miracle of endurance, telling him, "My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness" (2 Corinthians 12:9). God’s grace carried Paul through his trials rather than saving him out of them. This teaches us that we are strengthened by our trials and that we grow and mature in faith and in sound doctrine through our hardships. We are told to "glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience" (Romans 5:3), for it is through these pressures that our character is forged.

God works with us over the span of a lifetime, not just in isolated moments of crisis. While we might see a small miracle or a touch of providence at times, it is in the long course of our lives that God is proving us, honing us, and renewing us. This is where the true miracle of sanctification is happening—the process of being "conformed to the image of his Son" (Romans 8:29). When we look back on our journey, we can see the hand of God over the course of years and decades, recognizing that He was working to fit us into the Body of His Son, where our life is hid and will also be glorified. As our "outward man perish," we can rejoice that our "inward man is renewed day by day" (2 Corinthians 4:16). This is the mature walk of a believer: trusting in the sufficiency of His Word and the quiet, steady power of His Grace.

The Ultimate Title Transfer

The Ultimate Title Transfer

Signing a contract for a new house is a sobering moment. It isn’t a handshake or a fleeting wish; it is a binding legal reality documented in ink and backed by law. As you sit at the closing table, you are navigating a transition of ownership that perfectly parallels the legal foundation of eternal life.

Just as the builder holds the title because they constructed the home, God holds the title to your life by right of creation. He is the Master Builder, and you are currently an occupant in a structure He owns. To transfer that title to you, a legal transaction must occur. In real estate, this requires a "consideration"—a payment that satisfies the contract. In the spiritual realm, the "closing cost" for your soul was a debt of perfection no human could pay.

This is where the blood of Jesus Christ enters as a fixed, legal settlement. It isn't a metaphor; it is the currency of the contract that satisfies the Divine Law once and for all. When you accept this "Contract of Life," you are participating in a legitimate transfer of title. The blood of the Son functions as the immutable proof of purchase, making your eternal residency as legally certain and fixed as the deed recorded in your local courthouse.

Finally, just as a house is not truly yours until you receive the keys and take occupancy, the Contract of Life grants you the legal right to dwell in His presence. Once the blood has cleared the debt and the title is recorded, your occupancy is no longer a "visit"—it is a permanent, legal residency. You move in knowing that the Master Builder has cleared the site, met the code, and handed you the keys to an eternal home that can never be foreclosed or condemned.

In doing so, we haven’t just lost the context—we’ve lost the God of the Bible.

Volume 1: The Foundations is the first tactical strike in a 12-volume war for the Truth. This is not a collection of gentle reflections; it is a clinical correction of 30 of the most frequently misunderstood verses in the KJV Bible. Before you can walk in God's grace, you must first stand on His Sovereignty.

If the foundation is skewed, the whole house will fall.

In this volume, you will stop "leaning on your own understanding" and confront the raw authority of the text. You will discover that:

This is the Unfiltered Edition. Using a sharp, four-point framework—The Assumption, The Verdict, The Commission, and The Mandate—this book strips away the fluffy sentimentality of modern "Christianity Lite." You will meet the martyrs who bled for these truths and the King who decreed them.

God’s Sovereign Pleasure: A Hope Beyond Our Horizon

God’s Sovereign Pleasure: A Hope Beyond Our Horizon

There are moments in life when the weight of trials presses so heavily that we begin to wonder if God has forgotten us. We pray, we wait, and sometimes the silence feels unbearable. Yet Scripture reminds us of a profound truth: God does whatever He pleases, and His pleasure is not bound by our fleeting desires or limited vision.

God’s Pleasure Is Higher Than Our Plans

We often equate God’s pleasure with our comfort—believing that if He is truly sovereign, then surely His will must align with our longing for ease and prosperity. But His pleasure is not a reflection of our temporary wants; it is the unfolding of His eternal wisdom. His scope stretches beyond the flicker of our candle-like lives, reaching into eternity where every trial, every unanswered prayer, and every moment of waiting is woven into a greater design.

To know that God does what He pleases is not a cause for fear, but for peace. It means He is never surprised, never thwarted, and never dependent on human approval. His will flows from a character that is perfectly holy, just, and good. When He acts, He does so with eternity in mind, not merely the discomfort of the present hour. What feels like delay or denial to us is often the very means by which He is shaping something far more glorious than we could imagine.

The Constitution of the King: Why We Misunderstand the Beatitudes

The Constitution of the King: Why We Misunderstand the Beatitudes

We have a tendency to turn everything in the Bible into a "how-to" guide for a better life. We open Matthew 5, read the Beatitudes, and immediately start trying to "do" them so we can be "blessed." We treat them like a spiritual ladder to climb.

But if we are to rightly divide the word of truth, we must ask a critical question: To whom was Jesus speaking, and what was He announcing?

The truth is, the Beatitudes aren't just "nice thoughts." They are the legal constitution of the Millennial Kingdom.

Context: The King is Present

When Jesus delivered the Sermon on the Mount, He wasn't giving a general lecture on ethics to the 21st-century Church. He was the Messiah of Israel, standing on a mountain, presenting the requirements for the Earthly Kingdom He was offering.
