The Chapel Quotes
“The goal, when we as a family get off mission, is not behavioral modification but rather to address the heart of the matter. As a family what does faith at home look like for us, and what rhythms do we create in order for our mission to be accomplished? What God recognizes is that it doesn’t matter if it’s down on paper if it’s not on the heart. The only way we’re going to remain on mission is to recognize and understand that it flows from within. A person’s behavior is merely a reflection of the condition of our heart. Because it is from our heart that our behavior flow out. Above all else guard your heart for it is the wellspring of life. Our behaviors are a reflection of what’s going on inside of us, and we need to guard that. Work for a daily rhythm of being in the Bible at home. God’s Words are the best things for the heart.”

Devotion 04/19/2026
Our Devotion, “A True Friend” is by Alexis L. Warner, a professional writing major at Taylor University in Upland, Indiana and book reviewer for Christian Book Previews and Church Libraries.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: “A friend loves at all times…” Proverbs 17:17 (NIV)
Amy and I were best friends when we were young. We did everything together. We jumped rope together, played with our dolls together, and watched TV together.
However, true friendship sometimes involves an element of pain.
Several years ago, I started struggling with my weight. I told Amy I had decided to go on a “crash diet.” She worried about me for days before she made up her mind about what she needed to do. She told my mom. I was furious with Amy for weeks after that. How could she do that to me? I had confided in her, trusted her. How could she betray me like that?
It took me a long time to realize that she had done the most selfless, loving thing she could have done in that situation. The biblical principle of friendship is love, and biblical love is not self-seeking (1 Cor. 13:5). Knowing full well how I would react, she subjected herself to the pain of my anger because she wanted me to be safe. That was true friendship. That was godly friendship.
PRAYER: Lord, help me to be a godly and selfless friend, one who reflects Your love. In Christ, I pray. 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.
