Nancy’s careless and unworthy participation in communion

May 27, 2022 by Keith Swift Leave a Comment

Playing Church
Are you playing church with God, like fun-filled children play house? If you want to mess with God, just go ahead and participate in the sacrament of communion – without attention to your current relationship with Jesus.

Taking Communion
God notices when we dare to celebrate His most holy death – yet stand there actively into sin, keeping sin… dissing Him with our hypocrisy. Do you know His Word enough to realize His displeasure is a clear and present danger – there at “communion”?

In that attitude, the partaker disrespects God, fails to “recognize the body [of Christ]” (1 Corinthians 11: v30)… and thus “…eats and drinks a judgment on himself”. – Source: God still shows His displeasure dramatically – even today

Take note.  Your heart is bare open. God sees and knows.  And God still shows His displeasure dramatically – even today.

Protecting Roe… and the killing of unborn humans
I do not stand with the Catholic misunderstandings of God, same as this unknown author,

Read: Why I left the Catholic Church – Author Unknown

but I agree with this bishop. Nancy Pelosi was refused communion the other day, by the Catholic bishop in her town of San Francisco.  He based the refusal over her support of abortion.

Are you standing in the wings for abortion?  1 Contradicting Jesus? Standing for what Jesus would reject outright?

You’ve heard of “Karens”.  2  But, are you “a Nancy”, living contrary to what the Bible teaches?

I suspect there are many “Nancys” (and …male “Jacks”, shall we call them?) playing church with their little “god”, misunderstanding the One and Only God, messing with Him, living in sin, yet taking the holy sacrament of communion.

This picture (real, recorded evidence) is the kind of damnning evidence The Most Holy Judge will bring up to “convict” unrepentant sinners on That Day.  I’d hate to be in this picture, protecting Roe.

* See a debate last year (2021) over whether Catholic politicians who support abortion should be denied Communion.


Real Life Consequential Acts
So, how are you living-out your days?  Whether young sunrisers, or old sunsetters – we will all be held accountable for how we spend our earth days.  All our little “acts”, our every day poor behaviors towards others, our apathy… lack of involvement for the good of others, self-centered lifestyle — are actually eternally consequential.  There are no “small acts”.  God picks-up on them.

  • For the unforgiven on That Day of Judgement, little acts will be a big deal as God shows us His justified condemnation.
  • For the born again, we will be shown to have “wood, hay, straw” (1 Corinthians 3:8-15) because of our acts in the flesh.

Verses 13-15 of 1 Corinthians 3:8-15
13 each one’s work will be clearly shown [for what it is]; for the day [of judgment] will disclose it, because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality and character and worth of each person’s work.

14 If any person’s work which he has built [on this foundation, that is, any outcome of his effort] remains [and survives this test], he will receive a reward.

15 But if any person’s work is burned up [by the test], he will suffer the loss [of his reward];

yet he himself will be saved, but only as [one who has barely escaped] through fire.

Careless and unworthy participation in communion
Communion is one of those “little acts”. It is consequential.  Don’t be a Nancy.

       *Excerpt from: God still shows His displeasure dramatically – even today

Partaking of communion, participating without a repentant heart, or without repentance when you are in active sin, or having an attitude “without solemn reverence and heartfelt gratitude for the sacrifice of Christ” (v30)… can bring-on God’s very real and present punishment upon you, physically.  This does not mean you loose your salvation, but – He may allow sickness or actually take you Home “before your time”, so to speak.

1 Corinthians 11:18-34.
“many among you are weak and sick, and a number sleep [in death].”  God may actually step into our life to inflict physical weakness, sickness, or even death – if we participate in a holy commemoration of His death, what we call “communion”, without “solemn reverence” of Him, without a sincere repentance of some active sin in our life.  In that attitude, the partaker disrespects God, fails to “recognize the body [of Christ]” (v30)… and thus “…eats and drinks a judgment on himself”.

1 Corinthians 11:27-32.
Verse 30 states this about participating in communion: that “the reason why many among you are weak and sick, and a number sleep [in death]” – is because “anyone who eats and drinks [without solemn reverence and heartfelt gratitude for the sacrifice of Christ], eats and drinks a judgment on himself if he does not [a] recognize  the body [of Christ].” 


What we, weak humans, do,
(whether born again or not)
can offend God
– and sometimes
God will dramatically
show His displeasure
through dramatic events on earth.

“as an example and warning”
We must learn from what God has done in the past – because of “little acts”.

“Now these things happened to them as an example and warning [to us]; they were written for our instruction [to admonish and equip us], upon whom the ends of the ages have come.”
– Verse of 11 of 1 Corinthians 10:11-13

God still shows
His displeasure dramatically
– even today.
See 1 Corinthians 10: verse 11

We are warned:  “run [keep far, far away] from [any sort of] idolatry [and that includes loving anything more than God, or participating in anything that leads to sin and enslaves the soul]”
– Verse 14 of 1 Corinthians 10:9-14.

Further Reading: God still shows His displeasure dramatically – even today

Scripture says to examine your own self.  Do you?  Are you tolerating evil?

Do you really want to be vile, when being vile will land us in His Courts on That Day, condemned by Creator God the Judge, God-damned forever?

Wouldn’t you rather get right with your Creator?  Now, before it is too late?

  1. in the wings

    – out of sight in the stage wings

    – close at hand in the background : readily available; had a plan waiting in the wings.

    – a section of an organized body (such as a legislative chamber) representing a group or faction holding distinct opinions or policies — compare left wing, right wing.

  2. https://www.dictionary.com/e/slang/karen/

    “Karen is a pejorative slang term for an obnoxious, angry, entitled, and often racist middle-aged white woman who uses her privilege to get her way or police other people’s behaviors.

    As featured in memes, Karen is generally stereotyped as having a blonde bob haircut, asking to speak to retail and restaurant managers to voice complaints or make demands….”

    “Tropes that developed about Karen here were that she is an annoying (and always annoyed) middle-aged, suburban, minivan-driving white, divorced mother of poorly behaved boys (of whom she has custody) who has a so-called “speak to the manager” haircut.”

Bentley – News on Todd Bentley

The charismatic movement has been troubled by unbiblical practices and teachings. I am amazed at how folks are so easily mislead. “Many have exchanged the truth for a lie and chosen experience over content.” Look and examine and see, and compare with what the Bible teaches.

False Prophets

“You may be asking yourselves, “How can we tell if a prophet’s message really comes from the Lord?”” -Deuteronomy 18:21. How can we distinguish the true from the false?

No Faith In Heaven

Faith will not be necessary in heaven. Faith and hope will be ¨done away¨with (1 Corinthians 13:v8). When we finally are brought into His Kingdom, instead of on this earth with His Holy Spirit, then we will have Him, not just merely faith and hope.

Christian Answers Regarding Islam

Christian Answers Regarding Islam 1. The Koran purports it does not contradict the Bible but supports it. The Koran declares that it was written to confirm the previous revelations and not to replace the Bible according to Sura 5:48 which says, “And We have sent down to you the Scripture with truth, authenticating what is […]

Biblical Homosexuality

…a Christian´s Perspective on Homosexuality Quoted from: http://www.indegayforum.org/news/show/31489.html   Donny | April 18, 2008, 11:33am | # I’m up to the challenge of gay theology questions: In-hospitality towards others and “haughtiness” were the sins of Sodom. But Ezekiel is quite explicit about sexual sins being front and center as well. “Haughtiness” and the word “Gay” […]

Inexplicable Joy

Heaven is a joyful place. That is hard for me to imagine… Everywhere I look around me, I see so many problems, issues and unresolved conflicts. But in heaven, they won’t exist anymore. There will only be joy because my sins have been paid for by the blood of Jesus Christ.  One of the main things that describes being in heaven is JOY. The word “joy” has a much deeper meaning than just happiness. To be happy can change so quickly. It can come and go in a moment. But joy…

Letter to Danny

We are continually bombarded by the fiery darts of the Evil One.  And when these little pricks hit us, we need to put-out the flames, quickly. Doubts, depression, feelings of inadequacy, troubles, unruly kids…, when they come at us, we “have to declare” the truths of God, and  we have to choose Truth over lies.

About Biblical Inerrancy

…would God give us erroneous documents and call them “His”? Get real! Is God really going to give us the ‘truth’ …that isn’t!? The fact that Jesus “the Christ” fulfilled over 360 Scriptural prophecies – convinces me of the veracity of Scripture. Look at the evidences. Forget the critics! What about you?   Are you […]

Oh what a day that will be!  Wow! To enter into the Kingdom of God - freely as His redeemed child. No cringing in shame, no burden of sinfulness before Almight Holy God. I can only imagine.

Jesus, the second man, is the Lord from Heaven
"The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.” In 1 Corinthians 15:47 the Apostle Paul explained that Jesus, while on earth, was absolutely God-man.  He was not a mere man, ever.

There Is Only One God
Getting tired of people flippantly saying, ¨Oh my god!¨ Ever wonder who their ¨god¨ is!? Does that ¨god¨ know he is ¨theirs¨? Do you say that? We are quite the god-makers, are we not! What do you mean…“your God”?

God Is Not Distant
God is not some far away, distant-from-you, dis-concerned bubble of energy, inside some aura of mist on a mysterious planet far far away…. “And the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore” –Psalm 121:8 

Yeah, What he said!

Opinion's are sometimes worth your time. Here are some. I will be adding more periodically.

Lost I Came To Him Oh the wonder of that love of our fathomless Creator, to save me in spite of my self-centered soul. Lost and rebellious, He chose me. Pursued and wooed, what mystery – grace. I said yes to Creator God. To know…
Time as it really is Since Heaven is not regulated by time, the passage of time on earth is a separate event. *We will all step out of time together – into God’s presence, with no “time lag”,…The time it takes to go from earth to God's presence - is instant. There is no waiting around in the next dimension for earth time to finish, no midway point of gathering, no Purgatory. It will be an instantaneous experience for all mankind that ever lived. At the moment of death, our soul instantly leaves....

No Tolerance for Error
God is not sloppy nor wishy-washy.... There is no room at all – for error – when it comes to being right with God. You are either all in, or you are all out. Are you sure you’re in?

Simple View of Life  a simple view of everything. God of Everything that is – created everything. We are very fortunate that He is loving and kind, and really, really wants us.
Ashamed of Yourself?
Ever done something you are ashamed of?  Come on now, you’re sitting there by yourself – ‘fess-up.  Nobody listenin’ to your brain confess.  So... Yes?  Scenario: “You have? What!?
Being Christian What's it like these days to be a Christian? Really a Christian. For many, what the Bible teaches is generally okay, but, when it comes to certain specificities, what it says, they reason, needs to be interpreted in the light of today's enlightened realities. But -- will that work in - The End - when we stand before Him, physically? Stop and think about that Day.
Tomorrow
Tomorrow is the fool’s day. Tomorrow may never come. I may not get older. This may be it. 3.18.2017
Vortex of Good & Evil As mere humans, we are engulfed in the vortex of battle between good and evil. We must remember – it is God who created us, not we ourselves.  1.25.2017
What God has going on with us here on this planet.
God downloaded to earth ...inserted Himself into our history.  Jesus came to earth in order to satisfy the Courts of Heaven for our freedom. 3.23.2016

Cognitive Dissonance
...that extreme feeling of discomfort some folks get when their core belief is challenged or contradicted. What they think (“cognitive”) is rattled (dissonance) by what other evidences purport to be true – in direct conflict with what they hold to be “true”.  8.14.2018
Actually Try To Do The Deed 3.23.2016   “It’s not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done better."

What God Did for Man
…The Simple Gospel of Jesus Christ. God walked the earth as a man. Have you ever wondered how it all got started – the universe, the earth, nature, animals, you and your “like”, mankind? 2.19.2018
The Bible is “able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation”
Do you honestly want to know how to get right with God?  Jesus promised He would save us for an eternity of only good, nothing bad. 9.31.2020

Waiting for it

I’m sure that, in the past, you have waited. * Remember waiting for Christmas morning?  How exciting that was. Before Christmas I was so excited, full of anticipation.  I so much wanted to open my Christmas gifts right now.  But I had to wait for Christmas morning. * Remember waiting for Friday night?  I had […]

How do I get to Heaven?

So you want to go to Heaven. Jesus promised Heaven for those who follow Him.  He does not include anyone else in His promise.  Other religions make promises they can never keep.  Do you want to entrust your eternity into the hands of puny humans? Only Jesus saves.

Want to be wise?

Still think you are smarter than the rest, that your way is the right way? Have you considered that God might be smarter?

Why “the end” Jesus foretold is now

Today is different from other centuries when Christians mistakenly thought “the end times” had come.  These are very different days.  Jesus predicted “the end” (Matthew 24), and we are in them. Men of old never saw the prophecies fulfilled and the signs that we are seeing.  Never had them, never saw them.  It was beyond their ability to know Scripture as we do now… because the events of prophecy were still future.
