The Chapel Quotes

Jesus has taught us how to leverage our wealth for eternal gain. All of us have a different mindset about our money, possessions and our wealth, and to make sure it aligns with what Jesus teaches and how God views it. Jesus teaches us to have a Kingdom mindset of a steward. We are not entitled to all the things we have but rather we are entrusted with it to make a gospel impact. Leverage everything that God has given us for eternal glory and eternal rewards with God at the center of our hearts.”

“How we give and our motive is just as important and in many ways more important than what we give and the amount we give. Wealth in the economy of God is a combination of an abundance of joy even though we have extreme poverty. Each one is to give as he has decided in his heart not reluctantly or compulsively but cheerfully. We should not give out of pressure. If you want to be a cheerful giver it begins with being grateful for what Christ has done for us.

Devotion 01/11/2026

Our Devotion, “Playing Dress Up” is by Katelyn Irons of Lambertville, Michigan, who studied professional writing at Taylor University in Upland, Indiana.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: “Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children.” Ephesians 5:1 (NIV)

Have you ever watched children play dress up? First, they decide who they want to be: an animal, a princess, a superhero. After that, they select clothes and accessories that look the most realistic, painstakingly searching for just the right ensemble. The boy who wants to be Superman settles for a blanket as a cape, and the girl who wants to be a princess uses a cardboard crown. They then parade around the house showing everyone their new looks. Joy mingled with an innocent pride shines from their eyes. Instead of “look what I did,” they imply “look who I am.”

Just as little children dress up as persons they admire, so, too, should we Christians should put on the character of the Father. We should take joy in spending our lives looking for those righteous accessories that match His holy nature.

PRAYER:  Lord, help me to become an imitator of You. Lead me to live a life of love, and teach me to be Your child. In Your name I pray, Amen.”

 Book Review 01/14/2026

This Book Review is by Tucker White, a Professional Writing Major at Taylor University.

 More: How To Move From Activity for God to Intimacy With God
By Greg L. Hawkins
Multnomah Books, PB, 206 pages

More is a dangerous book. It is a book that asks of its reader to shed any shallowness in his or her relationship with God and to dive deeper. Hawkins presents steps toward a consuming intimacy with God, steps that are simple to understand yet challenging to carry out. Hawkins walks the reader through guiding concepts, then reduces those concepts into easy-to-remember slogans that ring in the reader’s mind long after he or she lays the book down. He did not come up with these guiding concepts overnight but discovered them throughout his years as a pastor and devoted follower of Christ, which he expands upon in the autobiographical portions of the book. Intimacy with God is shown as entirely attainable and wonderful. All that one must do is shrug off a life of less and take up a life of more.

This is biblically sound advice for Christians looking to deepen their intimacy with God, but who are unsure of what steps to take. Nothing heretical or controversial stands out. Bible verses from various translations are peppered throughout, giving the reader scriptural support for the steps Hawkins has devised. The book is not just Hawkins’s advice, but also his testimony of discovering these steps.
