The Chapel Quotes

On your way to the ‘Promised Land’ you will be tempted to return to ‘Egypt’. Happiness and health is okay, but one of the things that is much more important to pursue is when we have a restlessness toward holiness, towards God. God has placed in our heart a piece of sin or bondage that we are experiencing that we just can’t quite give it up. When we find ourselves in the midst of the wilderness and we get drawn back to ‘Egypt’ all we’re going to think about is the good that the bondage brought us, not the bad.”  

“God doesn’t like complainers at all. Complaining is speaking against God or His leaders in a spirit of bitterness, ingratitude and doubt. Complaining spreads negativity, spreads disbelief, questions God’s character and rejects God provision. The people of God are supposed to spread joy, to foster a radical trust in Him that He is going to see us through. As Christians, we have grown bored and have looked at God’s manna as bland, and because of that we constantly find ourselves losing our way in the wilderness or find ourselves back in the bondage that we tried to walk away from. This is a beautiful time in the history of God;s story, of salvation. Jesus has come, the Holy Spirit dwells in us, No temptation has overtaken us that is not common to man, God is faithful and will not let us be tempted beyond our ability, but will provide the way of escape.

Devotion 09/20/2026

Our Devotion, “Parasitic Sin” is by Lyndsey Gammage , a professional writing major at Taylor University, a scriptwriter for WBCL radio, and a book reviewer for Church Libraries and Christian Book Previews.

Swimming can be a great deal of fun, but all bodies of fresh water have one lurking danger. They contain leeches. If a leech attaches itself to your finger or foot, you cannot shake it off, pull it off, or pry it off. It clings with a vicious tenacity. You finally have to go indoors and douse it with large amounts of table salt, causing it to wither and curl up and let go.

Sin can often maintain a similar grasp on people. Once bad habits are formed, improper thoughts are repeated, or immoral actions become routine, they are hard to shake off and get rid of. Matthew 5:13 tells us that, as Christians, we are “the salt of the earth.”  We have the ability to use this spiritual salt to cleanse ourselves of sin’s evil grip. We can also be salt to others who are lost in sin, by sharing the gospel message with them.

Don’t let sin leech onto you. Keep yourself too salty for that to happen.

 Book Review 09/23/2026

This Book Review is by Allyson M. Hutchinson, a professional writing major at Taylor University.

The Delusion: We All Have Our Demons
By Laura Gallier
Tyndale House Publishing, PB, 350 pages

Owen Edmonds is a normal high school senior…well, as normal as he can be after he was suddenly forced to move across the country. Masonville High, the school Owen will attend for his senior year, has provided him with the semblance of a regular high school experience. He has a beautiful girlfriend and great friends, and he is a star on the track team. The only issue is Masonville High is not an average, routine school. Owen’s world gets completely flipped upside-down after taking a sip of water offered to him from a man at a well on abandoned land. When Owen began his senior year, his main concern had been college. Now, however, Owen must face the evil that is causing a suicide epidemic to rip through his school because he is the only person who can see its cause.

This book is extremely difficult to put down. Each chapter leaves readers wanting more as they perch themselves on the edge of their seat experiencing Owen’s emotions. The Delusion carries its readers through darkness and renews their sense of hope. Owen wades alone into what is unseen and dangerous and becomes estranged from the life he once knew well.

This plot makes its readers question more than just their faith. A world changing perspective of human life (as well as the forces that drive it) is displayed throughout Gallier’s novel. As readers delve deeper into The Delusion, they are stuck pondering their own lives and the forces at work around them. Gallier meshes the genres of horror, science fiction, and Christian theology while taking readers on a ride of terror, suspense, love, and joy. This story brings life’s complex questions about redemption, belief, worship, trust, and spirituality out of the darkness and into broad daylight. The Delusion should be added to everyone’s “must read” list.

The suggested audience for this book is ages 15 and up because it contains some violence and scary supernatural themes. This book focuses on coming of age questions and the identity struggle in young adults. However, it is entirely possible someone younger may benefit from this story as it deals with some of the greatest Christian doubt questions.
