Antidote

An antidote is a substance which can counteract a form of poisoning.

Borrowed from wikipedia "Sometimes, the antidote for a particular toxin is manufactured by injecting the toxin into an animal in small doses and the resulting antibodies are extracted from the animals' blood."

I'm a Christian, and I heard this word today, and it really burst out in life to me.

As people we commit sin. So if we treat sin as a poison, which leads to death, and Jesus took all the sins of mankind upon himself, he then created the antidote, he became the antidote.

By having originally having sin in us, we create the antibodies to resist by accepting Christ, we ourselves become the antidote to sin.

Makes sense to me, I hope it does you.

Can I Pray For You

It's the cliche of Christians. I'll pray for you. My friend from a Jewish background, Mark, told me recently that "I'll pray for you" means "I'll think about your situation when it occurs in my consciousness next time". I think Christians may be on the same tangent.

It sort of cheapens the whole expression.

On the other hand, my friend recently wrote me an email.....it was a prayer. I was deeply moved and at the same time completely inspired to do the same. Now instead of praying for the person in private to God, I get to do that, and send the prayer to the recipient through cyberspace.

They can now keep that. Documented.

I think I'm on a roll on this email prayer thing.

So the next time I say, "I'll pray for you". Wait for the email. I'm going to do what I say.
