The Chapel Quotes

Many of us don’t see the minor prophets as very relevant because we don’t understand how they are applicable to us or the context by which they are written. All God’s Word is God’s Word. God has something to say to us. The reason that God brings discipline and judgment into our lives is to bring about repentance and humility. When there is difficulty in our lives or we experience the consequence of our own decisions, once the swarm of locusts has passed us by, we go back to a hardened heart that is not fully given to God. The day of the Lord means horrifying days either in the past or the future that include God’s judgment and wrath for the unfaithful, as well as His presence blessing and salvation for the faithful.”

“Through the coming of Jesus Christ comes grace and forgiveness and mercy and salvation. Are you ready for the day of the Lord, because it’s coming. Let’s put this on our calendars and render our hearts. True repentance is coming to God and saying ‘my sin is tearing me apart on the inside and I long for You’. If we love other things more than we love God there will not be any change. God’s grace and His mercy is greater than all of our sin. There is no discrimination when it comes to God’s spirit being poured on those who are faithful to Him. There is a day of the Lord, and it is inevitable, we don’t know when it is, but it’s on the way.”

Devotion 06/15/2025
Our Devotion, “The Persecuted Church” is by Thomas J. Vick, a professional writing major at Taylor University in Upland, Indiana, and a freelance writer for WBCL radio, Church Libraries, and Christian Book Previews.

Note the following lines from the poem “Ode to Melancholy” by John Keats.

Ay in the very temple of Delight Veil’d
Melancholy has her Sovran shrine
Though seen none of save him whose strenuous tongue
Can burst Joy’s grape against his palate fine
His soul shall taste the sadness of her might,
And be among her cloudy trophies hung.

John Keats knew that without melancholy there could be no delight.  Jesus taught that there could be no salvation without his blood.  Fortunately, persecution is not as common in America as it is overseas.  Today, however, let’s pray for the persecuted church to remain strong in its faith.  

Missionaries around the world put their lives last and Christ’s love first. Romans 8:36-37 says, “As it is written ‘For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.’ No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.”

Book Review 06/18/2025

This Book Review is by Timothy J. Steece, a professional writing major at Taylor University.

STOP ACTING LIKE A CHRISTIAN, JUST BE ONE  
by Christine Caine 
Regal, 9780830743735, PB, 184 pages

Many people view Christianity as a “behavior” but not a lifestyle. Christianity has become an act that some people play. This book talks about how we can strengthen our spiritual cores not only to benefit ourselves, but also to benefit others. It is through transformation of our hearts, souls, and minds that we learn how to be Christians, not just impersonators of Christians.

This book is broken into two sections. The first section discusses why and how we need to transform our spiritual cores. The second section is a 31 day devotional. Each daily devotional discusses a  different attribute that Christians should acquire. After discussing the attribute, the devotional provides four to five personal reflection questions to think about during the day. This easily accessible book discusses spiritual development through personal illustrations that can be understood starting at the preteen years and older.
