The Chapel Quotes

Justice flows from a heart that is worshiping something. Pride can come about through a false sense of security or superiority that looks to elevate oneself above others. Pride is a root from which many other sins will grow. Pride is an attitude that says we can get along fine without God. Pride can infect us to think that we’ve got this false sense of security and superiority just in ourselves.”

“Do we have a heart of pride that we need to deal with? Do we find ourselves celebrating the failures of others ? There is going to come a day when nations will be a long-forgotten memory in light of God’s Kingdom. Jesus Christ is the King that will rule God’s Kingdom, evidenced through His personal humility, His cosmic supremacy and His glorified exultation as King of Kings. In God’s Kingdom there is no room for pride, no room for gloating. If you’re not humble, you’ll crumble.

Devotion 07/06/2025
Our Devotion, “Endless Mowing” is by Andrea W. Walker, a professional writing major at Taylor University and freelance writer for Church Libraries, Christian Book Previews and WBCL radio.

Summer is when temperatures are always rising, and the grass just keeps growing. Mowing the lawn is one of those never-ending summer chores. It seems like the day after you cut the grass, it’s already long again. You’re never done.

That’s how many people mistakenly consider reading God’s Word — an endless, repetitive exercise. It’s hard work, and you might not see the point, but you feel obligated to do it. After all, you don’t want to look bad in front of the neighbors.

Spending time in the Bible every day shouldn’t be a chore, and it certainly shouldn’t be monotonous. The psalmist David realized this; almost all 176 verses of Psalm 119 show how much he valued God’s law. He even wrote in verse 127, “I love your commands more than gold.”

How important is God’s Word in your life? Do you treasure spending time reading God’s commands as David did, or is it simply another chore? The next time you open your Bible, ask God to help you find delight in reading his Word.

Book Review 07/02/2025

This Book Review is by Jared Derby, a professional writing major at Taylor University.

A Threat to Justice
Chuck Norris, Ken Abraham, Tim Grayem, Aaron Norris
978-0-8054-4033-1
$15.99
B&H Publishing Group

A Threat to Justice is the second book in the Christian historical fiction “Justice Riders” series by Ken Abraham, Tim Grayem, and Aaron and Chuck Norris (yes, that Chuck Norris).  Despite the star-power of Chuck Norris, and the expertise of the other authors in their various fields, A Threat to Justice does not deliver on the promise of a quality novel.

The concept of the book certainly intrigues: an elite team of Union soldiers, freshly discharged from their Civil War duties, go their separate ways and confront challenges in their transitions to civilian life.  In particular the book focuses on Captain Ezra Justice, the team’s former leader, and his former-slave-turned-freed-teammate Nathaniel York, who return to their home on a Tennessee plantation to find the Ku Klux Klan entrenched in the nearby town.  

Unfortunately, Justice falls far short of the premise’s potential.  All of the characters—the primary and secondary characters, including the heroes, villains, and neutral parties—are rendered flat, two-dimensional, stereotypical, and cartoon-ish.  The plot is rather predictable, the dialogue contrived, the descriptions poor, and the writing generally clichéd.  Too many cooks spoil the broth, and too many authors spoil the plot. The historical accuracy and many of the details in the book are questionable, including the descriptions and operation of some of the period firearms.

 Despite all of this, the novel is not a complete loss.  The authors’ enthusiasm for their subject material is manifest, and the plot, though predictable, is still entertaining.  More significantly, the spiritual aspects of the book (unity of believers regardless of race, for example) were well thought-out—so much so that at times they were out of place in such a lightweight unserious novel.  Younger Christian teen boys might appreciate the frequent (if unbelievable) action scenes and simplistically settled ending.
