The Chapel Quotes
“Not all suffering is tied to our past. God allows all suffering and is still good. The fact that God allows suffering in our life begins to mold and shape and create us into much better people and into the character and the form and likeness of Jesus. That would not have happened in seasons of prosperity and pleasure. So often we forget it is because of our own free will that we find ourselves in messes. We need to be a forgiving people; people who help lighten the load of others instead of making it heavier.”
“We can be stuck, and time is not going to heal us in all circumstances. In our seasons of suffering there are three aspects of our lives that can be damaged or experience liberation; our faith, friendships and future. If we just look at our faith and friendships and hope that time is going to heal us, our future is not going to be what God wants it to be for us, nor will it be what we aspire for it to be, and we will remain stuck. A transformed faith is being content, comforted and relieved in knowing that God is more than the possessor of answers, He is the answer. Suffering can produce incredible good. We have a loving God that chose to pursue us and a Savior that took on human form to be able to glorify the Father and pay the price of our sins. We are to be forgiving because God and Christ Jesus forgave us.”

Devotion 11/17/2024
Our Devotion: “Slippery Sin” is by Ruth A. Burrell, a professional writing major at Taylor University and freelance writer for Christian Communicator, Seg-Way News, and Church Libraries.
Winter storms often cover the ground with layers of ice, but sometimes a few inches of fresh snow will fall and hide this dangerous ice. When you look at your driveway or the sidewalk, you may see only an innocent, white blanket of snow. However, underneath is a slippery patch of ice that could cause you to fall.
Sin can appear much like that ice. It can look attractive from the outside—it may even appear safe and innocent. But don’t be deceived. Beneath sin’s outward appearance is a slippery path that causes a treacherous fall.
So, the next time a storm comes, and snow covers the ground, don’t forget about the ice underneath. And also remember the warning of 1 Peter 5:8, “Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith.”
Watch out for the ice that Satan places in your path, because once you fall, it can be hard to get back up.

Loving Luther
by Allison Pittman
Tyndale House Publishers, PB, 400 pages
Katharina von Bora is born for greatness, but she is only six when her destitute father drops her off at convent. She makes a tolerable life for herself there with little food and less warmth. She dreams of returning to her father, but when Katharina grows up, she realizes her dream will never come true. Seeing no other choice, she takes her vows to become a nun.
Then she hears the voice of someone who stokes the fire in her heart to warmth again. The secret, smuggled words of a rebellious priest whisper into her heart and teach her to wonder how a life beyond the church would be.
Finally, she makes contact with the priest, Martin Luther, and with his help she leads a group of rebellious nuns, who escape the convent in hope of a new life. Katharina meets Luther face to face and witnesses his charisma and kindness firsthand.
Luther helps all the nuns find their family and matches them with suitable husbands. Katharina is delighted too when he introduces her to an upper-class family who invite her into their beautiful homes in Wittenberg. She finally gets to live the privileged life she was feels she born into. Outside the church, Katharina is able to use her intelligence and wit, which she was forced to suppress while at the convent.
After a disastrous love affair, Katharina discovers that she is in love with Luther. However, Luther has sworn himself to celibacy, being convinced that his troubled, dangerous life is no place for a woman. To win his heart, Katharina must break through Luther’s walls and show him that she can encourage and help him as he forges a new path for the Church.
From celibacy to romance, this book gives an unfamiliar perspective on the reformation hero and the founder of the modern church – Martin Luther. By telling his wife’s story, this book shows Martin Luther’s impact on the world. The book also addresses Katharina’s struggle with her place with God and His unfailing love.
Older teens and adults who enjoy historical romance will enjoy Katharina’s adventures.
