The Chapel Quotes
“What do you think people think about when they hear your name? Whether you are a name or no-name, God sees you. Are you living a life such that your name is worth mentioning? God is our Lord, our chain-breaker, our great healer, and above all, our redeemer. Make a name for yourself by making Christ’s name known. Be a useful brother, be a dependable servant. Be a fellow prisoner for someone right now who is in the depths, who is behind bars who is chained to something else. We are called to go to different naitions and we need more people who see their neighborhoods and their workplaces as their missionary field. Being note-worthy isn’t about living someone else’s story it’s about faithfully living the one that God has designed for you.”

Devotion 08/02/2026
Our Devotion, “A Lesson in Faith” is by Nicole E. Dynes, a professional writing major at Taylor University and a book reviewer for Christian Book Previews and Church Libraries.
Have you ever done something amazing when you were by yourself, but failed to duplicate it a second time for your friends? I have. One time, while ice skating with a group of friends, I tried spinning in a small circle, surprising myself when I didn’t smack my face into the ice. When I tried to show my friends, I didn’t take one step before having to grab onto the wall. It was embarrassing when they wouldn’t believe me. They wanted me to try again, but when nothing happened, they found it hard to believe I had done it in the first place.
Believing what we have not seen is called faith. Not only do we need to have faith in God, but we also need to have faith in each other, encouraging “one another daily, as long as it is called Today” (Hebrews 3:13). So the next time someone wants to show you something and it doesn’t work, don’t count them out. Take it as a little lesson in faith.
PRAYER: Lord, open my eyes to the opportunities You provide each day to encourage my brothers and sisters in Christ and learn more about faith.

Just Sayin’
By Dandi Daley Mackall
Tyndale House, HB, 179 pages
Mackall’s Just Sayin’ is a collage of letters, texts, phone calls, and notes sent between and among “almost step” siblings Cassie Callahan, Nick Barton, and little sister Julie Barton. The kids’ parents were all set to get married, but then (without warning) they abruptly called off the wedding. Now, in the aftermath, Nick’s dad is dragging him and little Julie all across the county, whereas poor Cassie has been “deposited” with her grandmother because Cassie’s mom has decided to move to another city to begin a new career. After having so looked forward to being siblings, the trio of kids use various forms of media to try to stay in touch and to figure out why the wedding was cancelled and if they still have a possible future together as a new family.
Just Sayin’ features letters typed and written with distinct handwriting, and envelopes and pens left on top of the letters for a realistic feel. Many similar elements add to the “you are there” experience of reading the book. The plotline provides an abundance of laugh-out-loud moments, courtesy in part of the kids’ love of joking insults. Nevertheless, many serious topics, ranging from the sanctity of marriage to where to draw the line between funny and hurtful jokes, are explored. The innocence of the youngsters provides honesty and transparency for examining the behavior of Christian adults.
Although primarily written for kids, and primarily from kids’ perspectives, Mackall has written a book that all ages can connect with. It presents the added perspectives of grandparents, a youth pastor, the parents, and one comedian. Due to the variety of perspectives, adults can relate to the story, and kids can get a glimpse into the strange minds of older folks.
God is a very real presence in Just Sayin’. Cassie writes to her youth pastor, asking hard and relevant questions about marriages and break-ups. She also writes several letters to God himself. The question of when fun and games turns into bullying is also asked with God in mind; and various quotes from the Bible are used throughout the book.
