I'm making a personal decision not to take it each week. I'm not forgetting what he's done, that terrible and beautiful sacrifice, but I find I'm not giving myself totally to Him some Sundays and I refuse to take communion if I'm not right there at the foot of the cross, broken and ready to let him mend me.

No matter the cost. Why? Because it's more than remembering that Jesus lived: it's reminding ourselves why we need Him. He went to the cross for our sin, and even when we accept Him and become a "Christian", we still sin. We need to be reminded of our sin and His righteousness. Of our death, and His life. Of our nature and His work on the cross.I refuse to forget. And as pastor of a new church, I refuse to let others forget as well.
