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.

God’s Best-Kept Secret: Christianity is Easier Than You Think.
By Mark Maulding
Baker Books, PB, 216 pages
As a Christian counselor, Mark Maulding spends every day working with people who are trying hard to get right with God. After years of seeing believers trapped in a cycle of try, burn out, fail, repeat, Maulding dares to ask, “What if God never meant for us to try?” He answers the question by taking eleven common misconceptions about Christian life and, as the back cover blurb puts it, “explodes” them with Scripture and anecdotes from work.
Christian self-help books are notorious for being preachy and impractical. God’s Best-Kept Secret stands out because it’s neither. Maulding tells real stories, asks real questions, addresses real concerns, and offers real solutions to problems of faith. His word choice isn’t always the best – people may have to reread a sentence or two because the words seem heretical at first – but the ideas themselves flow smoothly and stand on a firm foundation of Scripture. This book is perfect for anyone who needs a shoulder to lean on in his or her Christian walk. This book sheds a whole new light on the phrase “living by grace” by refuting commonly held misconceptions.
