Communing On Other Days Than Sunday?

Communing On Other Days Than Sunday?

Dear Mr. Waddey:
Could we take the Lord's Supper on other days in addition to Sunday? What about Acts 2:26 where the early church met daily and broke break? I looked up in Strong's Concordance and it's exactly the same words. So, how do you feel about on Sunday and on other days sometimes? I have some friends who take the Lord's Supper other days.

Dear Katherine:
Thanks for your note and questions. As to partaking of communion on days other than the first day of the week, Acts 2:46 cannot be relied upon to justify that unless one really does not care to have Bible authority for what he does in worship. That bread which they broke daily was "their food" which they ate at home. In partaking of their daily bread they were glad and did so with a pure or single heart. "They had their meals in their homes" (Beck translation). "They took their meals with great happiness and single-heartedness" (Weymouth translation). To based one's practice of communion on Acts 2:46 is to build on a passage that does not clearly designate the facts they need. Acts 20:7 clearly says it was on the first day of the week that the disciples "broke bread" in their worship.
