The Chapel Quotes

The pure gospel is being challenged by our culture in a way that can pervert it and give us and other people a false sense of the good news of Jesus. The identities that are given to us are from God. There is too much identity that we take upon ourselves that we put on our name tag from what other people say that we are. You are a saint not because of what you did but because of what God has done. A saving relationship with Jesus changes who you are and how you live. In Christ we receive a new identity and that identity begins to form our behavior and drives how we live our lives. We need to be thankful for what God has done through us and for us. The purpose of reading the Bible and knowing and studying it is to grow in our knowledge of God and to apply it to our lives in what we do. You will find your true identity and a spirit of thankfulness and a powerful prayer life when you realize it’s not about you but about bringing full glory to God.

Devotion 06/14/2026

Our Devotion, “The Power of God’s Word” is by Molly Anderson, a professional writing major at Taylor University in Upland, Indiana and a freelance writer for WBCL radio, Church Libraries and Christian Book Previews.

 People often ask if Bible study and memorization are important.  Actually, Jesus, Himself, used Bible knowledge to cope with life’s trials.  During the temptations when Satan was trying to convince Jesus to worship him, he challenged Jesus by telling him to throw himself off a temple.  Satan quoted Psalm 91:11-12, saying, “He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.” Well, this is all true.  However, what Jesus knew was that there was a continuation to that psalm. In the very next verse, it says, “You will tread upon the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and serpent.”

Satan is the only being in the Bible to be described as a lion and a snake, first in Genesis 3:1 and later in I Peter 5:8.  Thus, the passage Satan quoted, but did not finish, was actually a prediction of his own downfall.  He tried to twist and warp the scriptures, but Jesus knew them too well. Thus, by trying to trick Jesus, all he did was remind the Lord that one day he would trample Satan underfoot.

 Are you looking for a way to defeat your own spiritual enemies?  If so, there is no better way to begin than to read and memorize the scriptures.

 Book Review 06/10/2026

This Book Review is by Jessica Dundas, a Professional Writing Major at Taylor University, Upland, Indiana.

WHEN SUFFERING IS REDEMPTIVE: Stories of How Anguish and Pain Accomplish God’s Mission
By Larry J. Waters (compendium editor)
Weaver Book Company, PB, 154 pages

When Suffering is Redemptive is a collection of eight stories, each by different contributing writers, showing how ordinary Christians have grown closer to God through pain, grief, agony, suffering, and loss. The stories were compiled and edited by Larry J. Waters. The writers are transparent in sharing their stories of the worst pain known to medical science, of loss and disability, and of dealing with trauma in their day-to-day lives. They introduce us to what it means to fight the pain and give glory to God.  In life when suffering comes unexpectedly, such as the result of a car accident or an injury on the job or a preciously undiagnosed disease, it can be a cause for confusion, fear, and anxiety. It is then that a Christian must hold strong to his or her faith, but it is then that it sometimes is most difficult to do so. These eight stalwart individuals explain how they used prayer, Bible study, witnessing, and fellowship as ways to cope with on-going pain, bouts of depression, and severe emotional alienation.

This book challenges readers to seek God’s sustaining grace. The authors share their ways of getting through suffering by leaning on God, and the ministries that have resulted from what they learned through their experiences. We all have pain in our lives, and hearing the stories of others will help understand that we are not alone. At the end of each chapter are discussion questions and suggested resources for further study.  Truly, When Suffering is Redemptive challenges readers to see how God redeems their suffering.
