(Author Unknown)
"The Lord's Supper - The One Cup Issue". The author of this article could not be determined. The article itself comes from the "tract rack" at a site with the url http://www.churches-of-christ.net/. I found it via a Google search buried away. The article is very worthy of inclusion here no matter who wrote it. A fine piece of writing.
http://www.churches-of-christ.net/tracts/job110u.htm
"Do This in Remembrance of Me", another article whose author cannot be determined from the same source as the article above. Perhaps the two articles were written by the same man, one just cannot know. This article may well be the most researched article I have on the entire site. Scholar after scholar is quoted.

H. Leo Boles
"Requisites Of Acceptable Worship", from The Gospel Preceptor. This topic certainly relates directly to the proper observance of the Lord's Supper.
http://www.gospelpreceptor.com/BolesHL1.htm
J. R. Bronger
"Transubstantiation", from The Gospel Observer, April 2, 1995. Did you ever wonder what this strange doctrine is all about and how it is suppose to work? If so this is the article for you. Refutes the teaching.

ALEXANDER CAMPBELL
"Weekly Communion" , Jan. 1834. Only two paragraphs long but raises a point or two you may not have thought of.

David Chadwell
"Communion: Insult or Honor?", Oct. 3, 1999, West-Ark Church of Christ, Fort Smith, AR morning sermon. You can access additional sermons and articles by this man (he has a vast multitude) at http://www.westarkchurchofchrist.org/chadwell/. This particular article can be found at the link below.
http://www.westarkchurchofchrist.org/chadwell/1999/100399am.htm
Ron Cosby
"How Did Christ Become Sin For Us?", from The Gospel Preceptor. I would almost say this is a must read article. Did Jesus become a sinner on the cross because of our sins or did he just bare them there on our behalf? How did all of that work?
http://www.gospelpreceptor.com/CosbyR07.htm
C. Truman Davis, MD
"The Crucifixion of Jesus ... from a Medical Point of View" Part I . I include this here thinking that the more we understand the suffering of Jesus the better prepared we will be to partake of the Lord's Supper. From The Gospel Observer, Dec. 17, 1995.
http://home.onemain.com/~tedwards2/go/go951217.txt

ROY DAVISON
"Worship", brother Davison deals at length with the idea some have that the Lord's Supper may, and some even say should, be associated with a common meal.
http://www.oldpaths.com/Archive/Davison/Roy/Allen/1940/worship.html
[What comes next here is seemingly out of place and certainly is alphabetically. However, I have 3 articles which must go together back to back regardless and there is no better place to include them than just below brother Davison's article above for they all deal with the same topic as his. The first article informs you as to what was actually done in a congregation in Mississippi (a special communion service in association with a meal), the next article is a defense of the practice, and the last article is a condemnation of the same.]
"Special Sunday Communion", by Jack Simons in Seek The Old Paths, June, 2002. This article tells you what was done by the Mississippi congregation with regards to the Lord's Supper. It is hard to read it even in 2006, a few years after the fact, without feeling indignant. But then maybe that is exactly how we ought to feel.
http://www.seektheoldpaths.com/stop602.htm#SSC
"The Lord's Supper And A Common Meal", from Seek The Old Paths, October, 2002. In this article the elders of the Skyway Hills Church of Christ, in Pearl, Mississippi defend mingling the Lord's Supper with a common meal. (For a response to this simply scroll down that very same page or see the next entry below this one.)
http://www.seektheoldpaths.com/stopo02.htm#ANM
"Attitude, Not Mechanics", is a response to the article directly above. It is on the same web page directly below the above mentioned article so just scroll down. The response is written by Jack Simons.

Tom Edwards
"When Leading a Public Prayer", from The Gospel Observer, Dec. 2, 2001. While this short article does not deal specifically with leading prayer at the Lord's table it nevertheless will be helpful to those who do so.
http://home.onemain.com/%7Etedwards2/go/go011202.txt
"Are We Using Enough Bread and Fruit of the Vine?" , from The Gospel Observer, Oct. 31, 2004. Should the Lord's Supper be more of a traditional sort of supper?
http://home.onemain.com/%7Etedwards3/go/go041031.txt
"The Lord's Supper" , from The Gospel Observer, Dec. 13, 1992. Covers the topic pretty much from A to Z.
http://home.onemain.com/~tedwards2/go/go921213.txt
Jim R. Everett
"Are You Getting Sleepy, Sleepy ... " , from The Gospel Observer, Jan. 5, 2003. Too tired to worship in spirit? This article is applicable to the Lord's Supper observance as well to other aspects of worship.
http://home.onemain.com/~tedwards2/go/go030105.txt
Joe Fitch
"Expression And Prayer", prayer is a part of the worship at the observance of the Lord's Supper. If you lead public prayer I hope you will read this article. I found it very fruitful reading. Much needed. From The Gospel Observer, March 15, 1998. Scroll down and you will find this article near the bottom of the page.
http://home.onemain.com/%7Etedwards2/go/go980315.txt
TIM HAILE
"The Second Serving Of The Lord's Supper" , this article discusses whether or not it is scriptural to offer the communion service at two different assemblies (say morning and evening) on the first day of the week or must we all eat it together in one service only.
http://www.biblebanner.com/articles/subjects/LS/secserve.pdf
Charts by Tim Haile supporting his arguments above are found here. Well worth looking at.
http://www.biblebanner.com/articles/subjects/LS/LScharts.pdf
Douglas Hoff
"Is it Scriptural to Take Communion on any Day?", an article from Seek The Old Paths, August, 2004. The link will take you to the index page where you will easily see the article title and can either click on it or just scroll down the page. Either will work. The author asks a good question certainly worthy of an answer which he attempts to do.
http://www.seektheoldpaths.com/stop804.htm#IIST
WAYNE JACKSON
"Two Questions: Who Died on the Cross? Thee or You?" , from the Christian Courier Archives, Feb. 26, 2002, found in the Questions section. Ever hear a prayer at the communion table thanking God the Father for dying on the cross? Those who pray thus need to read this.
http://www.christiancourier.com/questions/godsBodyQuestion.htm
MOSES E. LARD
"Do the Unimmersed Commune?" , this article while now online was from Lard's Quarterly, Vol. 1, Sept. 1863, pages 41-53. An interesting subject not much thought about or discussed today.
http://www.geocities.com/moseslard/qtrly/nodry.htm
David Lipscomb
"The Blood Of Christ Cleanseth Us", from The Gospel Preceptor. The question Lipscomb seeks to answer is how does the blood of Christ cleanse. This is an outstanding article and brother Lipscomb probably goes about answering a little differently than you might think. Not when but how.
http://www.gospelpreceptor.com/Lipscom1.htm
Gary McDade
"The Lord's Supper Must Be Taken Seriously", an article taken from the weekly church bulletin of the Getwell Church of Christ, Good News From Getwell, Memphis, TN, May 2, 2005. Deals with the subject of hand clapping while partaking of the Lord's supper, who should partake, and whether or not the Lord's supper should be taken as a common meal. Highly recommended reading.
http://studiesinthelordssupper.com/The_Lord_s_Supper_Must_Be_Taken_Seriously.htm
"THE LORD'S SUPPER EVERY SUNDAY", an article found at the Spiritual Sword web site. Brother McDade explains how it is that we take the Lord's Supper on the first day of the week and that only.
http://members.aol.com/getwellcc/article0131.html
J. W. McGARVEY
"Is There A Lord's Supper?" , Sept. 24, 1898, an article taken from McGarvey's book Biblical Criticism but now online at the address below at the Restoration Movement web site developed by Hans Rollmann. It is listed here because in the latter part of his article he talks about a rare practice - the offering of only one prayer of thanksgiving in which thanks is given for both the bread and the fruit of the vine at the same time and then both are passed simultaneously.
http://www.mun.ca/rels/restmov/texts/jwmcgarvey/sebc/SEBC143.HTM
"The Lord's Supper Instituted" , 1914, from the The Fourfold Gospel by McGarvey and Pendleton. A commentary that combines the 4 accounts of the establishment of the Lord's Supper giving the over all picture.
http://www.mun.ca/rels/restmov/texts/jwmcgarvey/tfg/TFG120.HTM
Tom Moore
"What is Worship?", taken from Seek Ye First. A good article dealing with the subject of the title. Brother Moore goes into depth on the original languages dealing with the meaning of the words that are translated in our English Bibles as "worship".
http://www.seekyefirst.us/a/worship-what_is.html
Kenneth Perkins
"Necessary Inference And Our Worship Practices", from Seek The Old Paths, September, 2003. Unnecessary inference causes a lot of problems in the so called Christian world with regards to worship. Brother Perkins discusses both the Lord's Supper and music in this article. (Click the link here and then scroll down the page to find the article.)

Tom Rainwater
LOUIS RUSHMORE
"Sunday Evening Observance of the Lord's Supper" , from the March 2005 issue of the Gospel Gazette online. The reader will have to scroll down to the bottom third of the page to find this article as it is written in response to a question being the last of three questions found on the web page.
http://www.gospelgazette.com/gazette/2005/mar/page20.htm
"Is It Right to Take the Lord's Supper Multiple Times On One Sunday?" , from the Jan. 2005 Gospel Gazette online. Another short article in answer to a question submitted. Scroll down once you arrive on the site and you will find it down about mid page.
http://www.gospelgazette.com/gazette/2005/jan/page16.htm
"Tarry One for Another" , from the April 2003 Gospel Gazette online. Deals with the question of whether we must all eat the Lord's Supper together thus prohibiting eating at a second assembly on a Sunday. Scroll down about mid page as this is another question being answered on the question page.
http://www.gospelgazette.com/gazette/2003/apr/page20.htm
"Lord's Supper Alone?" , from the Feb. 2005 Gospel Gazette online. A very interesting question is answered here in the questions section of the Gospel Gazette. What if one finds himself as the only Christian in a community or foreign land. Can he, should he, partake of the Lord's Supper alone?
http://www.gospelgazette.com/gazette/2005/feb/page18.htm
"Misnomers About the Lord's Supper" , from the April 2005 issue of Gospel Gazette online. Two observances on a Sunday is one thing but how about two in one service, one for the latecomers?
http://www.gospelgazette.com/gazette/2005/apr/page20.htm
"The Eucharist" , from the Jan. 2005 Gospel Gazette online. Does the bread literally turn into the body of Jesus and does the fruit of the vine literally turn into the blood of Jesus as we partake of these emblems at the Lord's table? If not where did this doctrine come from? Scroll down about mid page. Excellent reading.
http://www.gospelgazette.com/gazette/2005/jan/page14.htm
"Communion Twice on Sunday" , from the March 2002 Gospel Gazette online. This is not what the title implies. Can elders require every member to take communion twice on Sunday? Yep, you heard right. Scroll down to about mid page once you go to the site.
http://www.gospelgazette.com/gazette/2002/mar/page20.htm
"Communion: One Cup vs. Multiple Cups" , from the March 2002 Gospel Gazette online. Scroll down to the bottom of the page. A thoughtful article.

http://www.examiningthescriptures.com/onecup.htm
Bob Spurlin
"Defiling The Lord's Supper", from Seek The Old Paths, November, 2002. Brother Spurlin in talking about this topic says, "The digression in churches of Christ is becoming like a runaway train". It is hard to figure out why people are not afraid to do some of the things they do. Is there no fear of God, none at all, or do they just not know any better? (Scroll down the page after click the link here.)
http://www.seektheoldpaths.com/stopn02.htm#DTLS
Rusty Stark
"The Lord's Supper At Weddings And Funerals?", from Seek The Old Paths, November, 2002. I remember many years ago being at a wedding where this was done. I could not believe my eyes. To do this makes a mockery of the institution, belittles it. Read brother Starks comments.
http://www.seektheoldpaths.com/stopn02.htm#TLSA
Gene Taylor
"Behavior in Worship", from the Centerville Road Church of Christ, Tallahassee, FL., web site. A good article and needed for while some congregations are very reverent in their worship there are others that are not. We are to partake of the Lord's Supper in a reverent manner and are warned against doing otherwise.
http://www.centervilleroad.com/articles/behavior.html
"The Crucifixion of Jesus Christ", from the Centerville Road Church of Christ, Tallahassee, FL., web site. A fine article that uses a lot of Old Testment prophecies showing how they were fulfilled during the crucifixion.
http://www.centervilleroad.com/articles/crucifixion.html
"Reverence in Worship", from the Centerville Road Church of Christ, Tallahassee, FL., web site. More on proper conduct during worship. Brother Taylor correctly says that those who act up in worship are being disrespectful to God.

http://home.onemain.com/%7Etedwards2/go/go940403.txt
Cled Wallace
"They Delivered Him Up", from The Gospel Preceptor. Deals with the motivation of those who had Jesus crucified. Cled Wallace, in my opinion, was one of the best writers we have had in the brotherhood for writing in a style that would hold your attention. This article is no different.
http://www.gospelpreceptor.com/WallaC13.htm
Guy N. Woods
"The Supreme Sacrifice", from Firm Foundation, October 1992. Brother Woods says in reference to God, "when we recall that man raised the banner of rebellion against him, trampled contemptuously under foot his precepts, and defied his authority, that God still loved him and gave his Son to die for him, surpasses human understanding." The question was/is how could God do this?

"Dress Codes", from Guardian of Truth Vol. 28, March 15, 1984. No attempt here to call for dress codes in worship but are shorts, spaghetti strap dresses, t-shirts with writing and/or cartoons on them, etc., appropriate to wear in the public worship of the God of heaven and earth?

"Are We Rushing Through Our Worships?" , from Truth Magazine Vol. 6, November 1961 (online archives). What do you think, do we rush through the Sunday evening communion in comparison to the Sunday morning service? That is not the subject here but it certainly brought it to my mind.
