The Chapel Quotes
“The two major institutions that God has created to change the world are the Church and the home. What happens in the home is more important than what happens in church primarily because of the amount of time we spend in the home. How do we change and orient the rhythms at home to mold our marriages and our kids into the design that God has for all of us? We need to make certain that we have small daily deposits that will compound over time to truly make a difference in our world. Over time what seems small becomes incredibly significant. There is no better time than today to make that 180-degree turn.”
“Love the Lord your God with all of your heart, with all of your soul and with all of your might. That is the mission of the home, and of any individual that has been created by God. The home’s primary mission is to love God with all that we are, in everything that we do. When it comes to parenting our primary mission is to raise our kids to love God. Our mission is not to raise scholars, professional athletes or world class artists, our mission is to raise Christ followers. Whatever our mission is, is what we’re probably going to become. Do you as a family have mission clarity about what God has called you to do and to be as a family?”

Read 1 Peter 5:6-11
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.
–1 Peter 5:7
At shopping malls young children love trying to run up the down escalator. They pant, arms and legs pumping, as they struggle to make it to the very top against the elevator’s flow. As we head into our teens, we grow out of this habit, but even as adults we often live like we’re going the wrong way on an escalator. We strive and strive but seem to make no progress, while people all around us appear to be moving in the right direction.
God promises that he will lift us up if we will only acknowledge that we need him. When we try to accomplish tasks by our own strength, we wind up frustrated and exhausted. All our hard work doesn’t amount to much. But if we simply stop and submit to God’s will, we discover that he is taking us where we need to go. His spiritual escalator is always moving in the right direction.
Father, help us submit to your will. Amen.

Purgatory Road
By Samuel Parker
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.
