The Chapel Quotes
“With the rise of AI, what once existed only in our imagination is now a reality. There are good aspects of it and negative aspects of it. The greatest danger is the damage it can do to relationships. While it can offer quick insight and solutions it can also pave the way for artificial connections and fake encounters. AI companions are giving a fake sense of comfort, intimacy and life. The lines between what is real and fake are going to begin to blur. We live in a society where more than ever artificial relationships are more of a part of reality than at any other time in history.”
“Why be a part of the church? Because you will receive help when life gets real and because we are a family. Where we have opportunity to do good for people let us be doing it. Do for one what you wish you could do for everyone. You can change your world. Be present in this moment. When someone’s life gets real, Christians should be the first to offer help, and when your life gets real your first and best reaction should be to reach out to the church and ask for help. No matter what you’re going through you need to connect with other people because somebody is going to hear your story and will know that they can make through also. Surround yourself with people that will hold you up and hold you accountable.”

Devotion 08/09/2026
Our Devotion, “Impossibly Early” is by Emily J. Morgan, a professional writing major at Taylor University in Upland, Indiana and a book reviewer for Church Libraries and Christian Book Previews.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: “For nothing is impossible with God.” Luke 1:37 (NIV)
I loathe waking up early. From the obnoxious blare of the alarm clock to the chilly morning air outside of my warm, soft blankets, I hate everything about it. However, with a new school year approaching, I realized that getting up early would provide me with an opportune time to go to the gym and work out. The excitement of my idea was soon clouded by my recollections of the many previous failed attempts to drag myself out of bed and accomplish something before ten o’clock. I had soon dismissed the idea as impossible.
When Mary asked the angel Gabriel how it could be possible for her to be the virgin mother of the Savior, he told her that nothing was impossible with God. Whether you’re dealing with overcoming a certain sin that keeps tripping you up, upset over a broken family, or simply needing the strength to get out of bed in the morning, nothing is too big or too little for God to handle. Even I learned to exercise in the morning.
PRAYER: Father, give me the strength to hand over my problems to You no matter what they are, and give me the faith to know that nothing is impossible with You.

Vain Empires
By Brandilyn Collins
Challow Press, PB, 315 pages
Vain Empires begins when six contestants arrive on the set of a reality show that offers the fulfilment of all their dreams as the prize. All it takes to win is to learn which of the seven deadly sins each of them represents. Simple, right? Wrong. The contestants realize their shot at happiness comes with a cost: each of them has a damning secret… and those secrets are about to be splattered across TV screens all across the world. To solve the mystery, the characters – and the readers along with them – receive clues twice a day. Tensions skyrocket as contestants scramble to piece messages and hints together. By the time the three days are up, all of them – even the winner – will go home utterly destroyed.
Dark, twisted, and suspenseful, the plot made it impossible to close the book and go to sleep at a decent hour. Also, despite a few patches of awkward dialogue, the characters felt believable and real. Unfortunately, as the story progresses, the characters all prove to be despicable human beings, which made it difficult to root for or empathize with any of them. As a result, the major plot twist at the end packs none of the punch that was intended. With that being said, Vain Empires was still a decent work, and I would recommend it to anyone in the mood for a little suspense.
