The Chapel Quotes
“At home, how do we take conversations about God, from being awkward, to being a normal part of who we are as a family? The average amount of time we have for just any conversation at home throughout a day is sixty-four minutes, evenly distributed in four sections of our time. In most homes God is rarely a part of those conversations.”
“If you are going to wait until you know enough or are good enough you will never talk about God with your kids. There’s nothing better for the heart than for God’s Word to go through our eyes and ears. The place where conversations about God should predominantly happen is in the home. The home should be the primary locale for spiritual formation, not the church. The most important thing we can do is to be in the Bible daily and regularly because we find a way to talk about the things we are reading.”

Devotion 04/26/2026
Our Devotion, “Staying Fit” is by Amy L. Green, a professional writing major at Taylor University in Upland, Indiana. She is a freelance writer for WBCL Radio, Play, Christian Communicator, Church Libraries and The Secret Place.
During the month of January, gym membership increases an average of 33%. Thousands of people voluntarily submit themselves to the iron rule of personal trainers. These instructors enforce a rigorous exercise program, often pushing their clients to their physical limits to help them become healthy and fit.
The Holy Spirit is the spiritual equivalent of a personal trainer. He wants to see us change to become more like Christ, but because of our sinful habits and stubborn selfishness, these changes don’t come easily.
But no personal trainer can go out on the street and drag you into the gym to start an exercise regimen. You have to come by your own choice – and keep coming. In the same way, the Holy Spirit won’t force you to change. You must ask for His help to control your temper, show love to others, and learn wisdom and patience.
As it says in 1 Timothy 4:8, “Physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.”
Even when it’s painful, remember that, like a good personal trainer, the Holy Spirit wants to see you meet your goal of spiritual fitness, and that’s always worth the effort.

Rebellious Parenting: Daring to Break the Rules So Your Child Can Thriveby Carrie Blackaby and Richard Blackaby
Elevate Faith, PB, 383 pages
As a mother and repeat book reviewer, I’ve read more than a couple of parenting books. Rebellious Parenting by Carrie and Richard Blackaby is not your ordinary parenting textbook. It is much more.
Using a tag-team format, father and daughter take turns discussing each topic from each one’s unique perspective, telling real-life stories from their own lives. According to the Blackabys, the goal of parenting is not simply to teach children wrong from right, but to teach them to want to do right. A quote from page 200 serves as a great example of the theme of the book: “It’s not enough to teach your children to say nice things. You want them to develop into thoughtful people who do nice things.”
The book chapters cover the usual parenting topics, but the content is as engaging as the chapter titles: Land of the Free, Home of the Clones and Well-Mannered Little Monsters are just two of more than twelve well-written, engaging and informative chapters.
One thread running through the book is that we should guard against a parenting style based on lists of rigid rules. Christ came to give us abundant life! If we fail to show our children the joy of living in Christ, of cherishing the relationship we have with Him, being a Christian can seem, to our children, more like a burden than a gift.
Parents with children of any age, as well as grandparents and prospective parents will benefit from this book. Also, it is a good resource for church children’s ministers and youth leaders.
