The Chapel Quotes

“Fasting is the abstaining from food for Spiritual purposes, to deepen and display our hunger for God. Fasting is meant to be combined with prayer. Man does not live by bread alone but from every Word that comes from the mouth of God. The reason we are expected to fast is to show our expectancy of Jesus’ second coming. Many times with Spiritual disciplines whether it’s Bible reading or prayer or fasting we typically do not experience the reward if we just do it on the first try and never try it again. Imagine if you’ve only read the Bible once, and you went ‘that was hard’ and never did it again what you would have missed in the reward of growing closer in your relationship with God.”

“We are beneficiaries of a flexible way of doing ministry. Churches that say ‘we’ve always done it that way’ aren’t going to grow. We should be ridged in our teaching, in our doctrine and not be wavering in that, but by the way that we get it out there and the tactics and the methods we have to be flexible. We should never get to a place as a church where we become too ridged in the tactics and methods of reaching other people.”

Devotion 02/22/2026

Our Devotion, “Trust in the Lord” is by Nathanael B. Nupanga of West Chicago, Illinois who studied professional writing at Taylor University.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” Proverbs 3:5 (NIV)

In July, 2008, I found myself sitting in the American Embassy in my country, the Democratic Republic of Congo, waiting to be interviewed. Until then I had been praying for God to help me find a good school where I could get an excellent education and develop the gifts He had given me. After five years of waiting, God finally answered my prayers; here I sat waiting to interview for my visa to study in the U.S. When my turn came for the interview, I answered all the questions, and I had all the documents required to be eligible to receive a U.S. Visa. I got done with my interview, paid the required sum and sat waiting to be called back up. Finally, I got called and the young lady working at the desk handed me back some papers saying all my documents were good, but, unfortunately, the Embassy could not issue a visa due to the lack of my father’s bank account information.

I walked out of the Embassy confused and upset at why God would allow me to come all this way and suddenly let me down like that. The next week I reappeared for another interview, but this time my experience was different. In the interview room I got to meet one of my favorite musicians, who was also interviewing for a visa. When my turn came for the interview, the same young lady looked at my documents and said I got the visa. She also returned my money, and my interview ended up being just a talk as she shared some of her high school stories with me.

PRAYER: Lord, Your ways are far beyond my understanding. Help me to always trust in You even when it seems as if everything is going wrong. Amen.

 Book Review 02/18/2026

This Book Review is by Rachel M. Pfeiffer, a Professional Writing student at Taylor University.

Here Goes Nothing: An Introvert’s Reckless Attempt to Love Her Neighbor By Kendra Broekhuis
Thomas Nelson, HB, 273 pages

Kendra Broekhuis is an introvert, so when she feels challenged to show love to her neighbors after she and her husband move to a Chicago neighborhood, she’s apprehensive. A busy stay-at-home mom, Kendra has plenty of dirty diapers and dirty dishes alike to take up her time, and getting out of her comfort zone isn’t high on her priority list. However, as Kendra prays for thirty days for God to show her how to love her neighbors, she finds God’s love, peace, and grace in the most unexpected ways and places.

 Broekhuis does an excellent job of using the little stories from her daily life to demonstrate how to step out and love others even when it’s uncomfortable or inconvenient. She covers a wide range of topics, from how to love your family patiently to how to love and empathize with people you’ve only met recently. Though some chapters have a loose connection to the book’s overall theme, Broekhuis generally does an admirable job of raising thought provoking and challenging questions while simultaneously telling her own story.

Christian women, especially introverts, will enjoy reading this book. In today’s world, it’s easy for people to be concerned only with their own lives. Kendra Broekhuis challenges readers of this book to look beyond themselves to the hurting that exists right next door.
