Importance of Examining Yourself before Communion

Hey,
This scripture is clear that we ought to take time to examine ourselves and repent before we take Communion. What do you think?

1 Corinthians 11:23-32
23For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:

24And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.

25After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.

26For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.

27Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

28But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.

29For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.

30For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.

31For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.

32But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world. (KJV)

Scary Book Thoughts

Today I read the back of a book for young people that was categorized as a thriller. It was about a few young children dealing with a ghost. I know that if that book were to have a character who had a relationship with Jesus then any ghosts or demons in the story would be rendered harmless if the believer knew their power and authority with Jesus to tell the ghost or demon to go away. It really bites that some young people in the US and likely more countries are reading and watching a bunch of scary things and do not realize that with a relationship with God through Jesus they can take authority over any spiritual darkness. Thank God Frank Peretti sheds light on this.

Faith

Titus 3:8 "This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men."

Hebrews 10:24 (Whole Chapter) And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:

James 2:17 (Whole Chapter) Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

James 2:26 (Whole Chapter) For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

I put these up here to show that works and faith in God go together. I hope and pray more Christians show faith and works, and that people see it and know God and Jesus more. Amen- (means)So be it.
