The Chapel Quotes
“There is a great enemy trying to take our future, our family, and our faith. The Kingdom of God is not something that is down the road, it is already here but not yet fully realized. We get a glimpse as we continue to experience Jesus, a peace in community, in love, and building one another up. If you are a follower of Jesus, God wants to work through you in a way that this world is profoundly changed, that a taste of heaven is down here on earth.”
“When we become aware of what Satan is up to, we’ll be able to win. Satan has a predictable rhythm. Spiritual warfare usually comes in three ways. The lust of the eyes, the pride of life, and the lust of the flesh. Satan will try to convince you to meet a legitimate need in an illegitimate way. Satan will try to convince you that God is there to bail you out of your dangerous decisions. So often we buy into lies that have the scent and aroma of scripture, but they lead to destruction and death. One of the greatest lies we can buy into is that there will be no consequences down the road. God has a purpose and destiny for you in this world, probably through a road of hardship and suffering, and it will be delayed and take time. Satan will try to get you to sacrifice what is important for what is immediate. He will try to get you to take a shortcut. You will never experience the blessings of the Kingdom without obeying the commandments of the King. Three weapons; get to know God’s Word, do not misuse God’s Word, and apply God’s Word to your life, do what it says.”

Devotion 03/30/2025
Our Devotion, “Joy in the Journey” is by Andrea Osmun, a graduate of the professional writing major at Taylor University. She lives in Elyria, Ohio. Her writings appear in Church Libraries and on WBCL radio.
Recently a man named Don was sharing his testimony at his local church. He stated that in 1978 he was laid off from the window-cleaning company he worked for. The country had fallen into a recession. His boss suggested he go into business for himself. Don admitted later, “I was terrified, but I went forward with it.”
Don had to borrow $10,000 from his parents to start his company. During his first year of business, Don spent the whole $10,000 on start-up costs. “I had no idea how I’d pay off that loan,” he recalled. “I couldn’t look my parents in the eye and say I’d quit, so I had to work through it.”
Don slashed his overhead costs, worked 16 hours a day at the job, including Sundays, and gave up his social life entirely. Eventually, he paid off all loans, and his business stayed steady until he retired 30 years later. However, he confessed to his church friends, “Looking back, I can see how God provided. I don’t regret anything about that time in my life, except for one major thing: I wish I would have enjoyed the journey.”
James 1:2-4 says, “Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.”
Sometimes we get caught up in our struggles. But God wants us to take joy in the journey, even when it’s hard.

Purgatory Road
By Samuel Parkern
Revell, PB, 283 pages
Jack and Laura are a married couple who ventured to Las Vega in an attempt to rekindle a dying marriage. Colten is a gas station clerk. Red is a sheriff. Molly is a runaway teen looking for adventure in Los Angeles. Boots is a lonely man who lives in a trailer in the middle of the desert. Seth is a manipulative being who bends unsuspecting victims to his malicious will. One stormy night in the Mojave desert connects and changes all of their lives in Samuel Parker’s Purgatory Road.
Parker creates suspense throughout the entire novel by utilizing short chapters to give the reader quick, action-packed scenes. He also keeps the readers on edge by building a chapter up to a cliff-hanger then switching point of view in the next chapter, making the readers wait for the resolution of a previous storyline. Though the purpose of some characters ends up muddled in the beginning, Parker does a good job of weaving their stories together in the end.
Despite some instances of telling information instead of showing through his characters, Parker’s plot is a thrilling one. It is easy for readers to gather the images of God and Satan through his portrayals of Boots and Seth. Without lapsing into preaching Parker gives an excellent depiction of both of their character traits and their influences on the human mind. Readers will not be able to put this book down once they start it.
This book illuminates just how easy it is to fall into the trap of sin through the actions and beliefs of different characters. It also shows how the devil uses people to do his dirty work, and how trusting in God is the only way to safety.
