The Chapel Quotes

On your way to the ‘Promised Land’ you will be tempted to return to ‘Egypt’. Happiness and health is okay, but one of the things that is much more important to pursue is when we have a restlessness toward holiness, towards God. God has placed in our heart a piece of sin or bondage that we are experiencing that we just can’t quite give it up. When we find ourselves in the midst of the wilderness and we get drawn back to ‘Egypt’ all we’re going to think about is the good that the bondage brought us, not the bad.”  

“God doesn’t like complainers at all. Complaining is speaking against God or His leaders in a spirit of bitterness, ingratitude and doubt. Complaining spreads negativity, spreads disbelief, questions God’s character and rejects God provision. The people of God are supposed to spread joy, to foster a radical trust in Him that He is going to see us through. As Christians, we have grown bored and have looked at God’s manna as bland, and because of that we constantly find ourselves losing our way in the wilderness or find ourselves back in the bondage that we tried to walk away from. This is a beautiful time in the history of God;s story, of salvation. Jesus has come, the Holy Spirit dwells in us, No temptation has overtaken us that is not common to man, God is faithful and will not let us be tempted beyond our ability, but will provide the way of escape.

Devotion 09/20/2026

Our Devotion, “Parasitic Sin” is by Lyndsey Gammage , a professional writing major at Taylor University, a scriptwriter for WBCL radio, and a book reviewer for Church Libraries and Christian Book Previews.

Swimming can be a great deal of fun, but all bodies of fresh water have one lurking danger. They contain leeches. If a leech attaches itself to your finger or foot, you cannot shake it off, pull it off, or pry it off. It clings with a vicious tenacity. You finally have to go indoors and douse it with large amounts of table salt, causing it to wither and curl up and let go.

Sin can often maintain a similar grasp on people. Once bad habits are formed, improper thoughts are repeated, or immoral actions become routine, they are hard to shake off and get rid of. Matthew 5:13 tells us that, as Christians, we are “the salt of the earth.”  We have the ability to use this spiritual salt to cleanse ourselves of sin’s evil grip. We can also be salt to others who are lost in sin, by sharing the gospel message with them.

Don’t let sin leech onto you. Keep yourself too salty for that to happen.

 Book Review 09/16/2026

This Book Review is by Hanna Smith, a professional writing major at Taylor University in Upland, Indiana.

The Daniel Dilemma
By Chris Hodges
Thomas Nelson Publishing, PB, 263 Pages

The Daniel Dilemma is a rather long book, but it is well worth the time it takes to read and weigh its content. Chris Hodges delves into the life of Daniel as a way of instructing the modern Christian in how to stand firm in the faith while maintaining a spirit of love. New insights into the life and history of Daniel help to illustrate Hodges’s lessons in a way that makes learning exciting. Hodges uses clear concise language to create an enjoyable yet informative message.

This book is segmented into five parts. The first four sections focus on the main issue: self. Although Christians are prone to think the problem is with other people, Hodges counterpoints this misconception and teaches the reader how to be a light instead of a gavel. Only after the issue of self has been firmly dealt with does Hodges outline how to approach others with love when faced with moral disagreements. Hodges’s thoughtful insights and conversational tone put his lessons into action. He confronts the issues plaguing Christian evangelism—egotism, indifference, social status– with tact.

The Daniel Dilemma covers many themes. Discovering identity, developing a worldview, and surrendering pride are all dealt with in gentle yet frank ways. But despite the wide array of topics, Hodges remains on topic. Every word counts in this book, and as Hodges goes on to discuss, so does every word in life. Christian adults struggling with living out their faith in today’s cultural moral system will find this book to be a helpful resource.
