Examine for the Lord’s Supper

In 1 Corinthians 11:28, Paul tells us to “examine ourselves” before we eat of the bread and drink of the cup. But what does that mean practically?

“The coming of the Lord’s Supper is a call for us to repent and to confess and to forgive and be reconciled so that our hearts are ready to honor the Lord.” — H.B. Charles Jr.
