Welcome to the Gateway--Dorinda's recordings of thoughts, challenges, and daily news. We'll see how this goes. Maybe it will be a good thing. Maybe it will distract from God's work--in which case we will cancel it.

Today, Brother David shared at Sunday evening fellowship from Phillipians 4:1-9. Several things he shared challenged me. He highlighted standing firm, being reconciled with others, rejoicing in all things, and taking each thought captive. I was challenged by much, especially by my need to take every thought captive.

Pastor John mentioned this morning that there are two parts to a missle that you use in war. There is the warhead (containing the weapons) and the missle (which propels the warhead). Our weapons are the blood of the Lamb, the name of the Lord, and the Word of God. The missle is our prayers, praise, and preaching (speaking the Word). No wonder I haven't been triumphing in my spiritual life. I've been throwing rocks at the enemy instead of aiming powerful warheads.
