The Chapel Quotes
“The promised land isn’t necessarily that new job or experiencing rest in making a wise decision, our promised land is our eternal dwelling. Our rest is in our eternal dwelling. It is your faith in Jesus that I going to determine your eternal destination. How we spend eternity is determined by how we live our lives. How are we going to respond when the giants of our land come face to face with us? What are our giants today? What is it that God has called us as followers of Jesus to pick up our sword and to fight? Are you going to shudder in fear? What stands between you and rest is not giants but the fear of those giants. Jesus says ‘in this world there will be trouble, but take heart I have overcome the world.’ Our end goal is to be faithful in the face of seeing those giants. What you do with your life is going to determine how you are received in heaven and how you will spend eternity. Where is your fear of God in relation to the fear of risking it all, of taking the risk, of investing your life, of giving it fully to the Lord, of responding to the prompting He has placed in your heart? Is your fear of God greater than your fear of the giants that are in front of you?”

Devotion 10/11/2026
Our Devotion, “The Mighty Voice” is by Aaron D. Johnson, a professional writing major at Taylor University, a scriptwriter for WBCL radio, and a book reviewer for Church Libraries and Christian Book Previews.
The sixth chapter of the Book of Numbers has a very sweet lullaby that mothers sometimes sing to their children when their youngsters are going to sleep. It says, “May the Lord bless you and keep you…may the Lord make his face to shine upon you…and give you peace, and give you peace, and give you peace forever.” That is a very sweet little song, isn’t it? Yes, indeed.
But let me contrast that for you with the song the Lord, Himself, sings over you. Zephaniah 1:17 says, “The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you with his love; he will exult over you with loud singing!”
Can you imagine the voice of God raised to full volume, singing your praises as His blessed child? The euphoria this would create is beyond all imagination. It makes the wildest of rock concerts seem like mere whispers. Try to think of what it would sound like to hear the booming, all-resonating voice of the Creator of the universe calling out your name and telling you how much He loves you.
If you ever feel insignificant or small, remind yourself that your name roars through the heavens for all to hear.
Book Review 10/14/2026
This Book Review is by Rachel M. Pfeiffer, a professional writing major at Taylor University.
Title: The Thing With Feathers
Author: McCall Hoyle
Publisher: Blink
Publication Date: September 5, 2017
This story follows Emilie Day as she leaves the comfort of homeschooling to attend the local public high school. Emilie braces for the worst but discovers she might be able to find happiness through her new friendships with Chatham and Ayla. Except for one thing: no one knows about her epilepsy.
McCall Hoyle paints a vivid picture of high school life, from the quirky English teacher to the class clown who always has something to say. Emilie is a very relatable character. Nothing is going her way, and starting at a new high school makes everything worse. Throughout the book, it is easy to understand her reluctance to be honest with her new friends. She fears if people know the real her, they won’t accept or like her. On a smaller scale, this book is about Emilie trying to find her way in high school. However, the more important story is her journey to accept who she is and learn how to live.
Hoyle based this story loosely on the life of Emily Dickinson, and the result is both engaging and motivating. Emilie and Chatham work on an English project about Emily Dickinson, and each chapter begins with a quote from one of her poems. Emily Dickinson was a lifelong recluse, unable to conquer whatever demons haunted her. The Emilie in this story has her share of demons as well, but she reacts very differently from Dickerson. The key difference is the people in her life who love and challenge her. This story beautifully illustrates the importance of having or finding family and friends who love individuals for who they are but aren’t afraid to push friends to become someone even better.
This story is also a testament to the struggle those with disabilities face. As Hoyle points out, learning to live a full life can be very difficult for people who have disabilities that restrict their freedom and create fear. This book testifies to Emilie’s resilience, but also to how those around her either support or ridicule her.
The character of Chatham is what I liked least in the story. He’s too perfect because he’s athletic, cute, hilarious, and kind. The only thing he isn’t good at is English, but he succeeds in that class with minimal tutoring. Truthfully, incredible people like Chatham exist, but they still have flaws of some kind. Chatham’s lack of flaws made him seem less than real. Hoyle could have made him, and by extension the story itself, come alive even more had she shown us Chatham’s flaws. The character of Chatham aside, this is a touching book that explores a very real issue many people face.
If you don’t mind a book with a cliché dream boyfriend, by all means grab a copy and enjoy Emilie’s journey.
