The Chapel Quotes

“Anything that you place before God is an idol. Whatever controls us is our Lord. There is a real enemy out there, a real spiritual warfare going on in which Satan, the prince of this world would love nothing more than for us to live apathetic and comfortable Christian lives. Whatever you control the most often shows and reveals where you trust God the least. If we want to be a people who are not driven by self-centered effort that comes from anxiety to supply our own needs, we need to first and foremost recognize who is ultimately in control. It’s not that every person that longs to follow Jesus and inherit eternal life must go and sell everything that they own, but rather they must sell everything that owns them. In Jesus we find ultimate satisfaction. Anything in life that you feel the need to control is ultimately in control of you.”

Devotion 11/08/2026

Our Devotion, “Crossing Borders” is by Samantha Stevens, a student of professional writing at Taylor University in Upland, Indiana.

 “There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear.” I John 4:18

Here we were, a bunch of college-aged Americans, dancing hand-in-hand down the freezing streets of Chetebor with gypsy children. Our team of students had traveled to this little city in the Czech Republic in hopes of ministering to schoolchildren in the area. Unfortunately, gypsies in European cultures are often mistreated, poverty stricken, discriminated against, and ostracized. Thus, we garnered odd looks and scornful stares from the locals as we laughed, threw snowballs, and paraded through town leading gypsy children home that afternoon.

 Because we ministered to the gypsy minorities, the townsfolk disliked us. But that resentment was totally offset by the joy we experienced in helping those sweet children discover the love of God. We were quite a sight. I was shaking and numb from holding their bare hands in the cold, but nothing could keep me from letting go. True love, I learned, is absolutely fearless, despite a world that segregates itself along social, economic and ethnic lines.

 Jesus regularly shocked his disciples in the same way. He reached out to people of every class, culture and status, ministering to foreigners, lepers, lower-class citizens and prostitutes, despite objections from discriminators. Just like Jesus, our love for others should have a boldness that actively and positively reaches out to every people.

PRAYER: Lord, help us to cross these barriers fearlessly every day so that we can minister to others in the same ways You did. 

 Book Review 11/11/2026

This Book Review is by Abigail Kessler, a professional writing major at Taylor University.

 Known By God
by Brian S. Rosner (general editor Jonathan Lunde)
Zondervan, PB, 274 pages

The latest instalment in Zondervan’s Biblical Theology for Life series tackles a much more personal subject: identity. As with all the books in this series, Brian Rosner attempts to create a very comprehensive study of the subject, going through almost every reference made to personal identity found in the Bible. Unsurprisingly, there is a lot of information here. This is the book’s greatest strength, but can also be its shortcoming. Though Rosner does a good job of putting the information into a context that helps readers understand its relation to the topic, there is just so much to say that it can become overwhelming. Casual readers who pick up this book in search of quick, easily applicable answers to their questions may be disappointed, but we also need to remember that this is the nature of those questions. In the end, the book works more effectively as a reference guide than anything else, but it is a very good one. People who are looking for a biblical perspective on personal identity will have a lot to think about after reading this.

I was impressed by the amount of detail included, and I could tell that Rosner was both passionate about the subject and concerned with making it accessible to most readers. Though it might take a little more time than usual to study the material in this text, for serious Bible students in can worth the effort. This book takes a topic that is on many people’s minds recently, and it seeks a biblical answer. People who are struggling to determine how their faith interacts with who they are as individuals will find this book helpful.
