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 03/01/2026

Our Devotion, “Continuous Love” is by Jessica Smith of Beavercreek, Ohio, who studied professional writing at Taylor University.

 THOUGHT FOR TODAY: “Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.” 1 John 5: 11 (NIV)

One day, I walked into the kitchen, snatched the television remote, and changed the channel from what my mother was watching without asking her. She paused in her task and looked up at me and told me that she loved me, and she also told me how beautiful I was to her, then went back to doing her work. Being slightly confused by the random statement, I asked her what was wrong with her. She said, “I just love you for you, Jeanette.” I thought that she was doing some kind of reverse psychology to make me turn the channel back. “No, really, Mom, what is wrong?”

“Jeanette, I have learned to appreciate you for you. Even if sometimes you are a little annoying, I still love you.”

I smiled at her and flipped the television station to what it was previously on. I already knew she loved me. However, hearing her say it and feeling her truly mean it was comforting. I knew that she said it because she meant it and not just because she wanted to watch her favorite soap opera.

 PRAYER: Dear God, please let me know and feel Your neverending love in my life. Let me appreciate the fact that You care for me even though I do not deserve it. In Your Loving name, I pray. Amen.

 Evolution: Scripture and Nature Say Yes!
By Denis O. Lamoureux
Zondervan, PB, 184 pages

Denis O. Lamoureux shares his experience of living in an “either/or” dichotomy of creation and evolution as a Christian and –at one time—an atheist. Soon after becoming an atheist, he came back to his faith as a lover of science and a follower of Christ, realizing that this was possible. He argues against the false dichotomy using scripture and science; informing the reader of the unnecessary struggle of choosing between The Word and nature.

Lamoureux believes that how we read and interpret the Bible can cause some conflicts. He uses the term “Message-Incident Principle” to explain that spiritual truths are incapable of being wrong. He then concludes that one cannot force one’s ideas of modern science onto the ancient views of the Bible. Later, he portrays the Bible as a book involving who created the universe, not how He did it.

Overall, the author writes to prove that Christians should not have to choose between evolution and creation because there is room for both. His main objective is to show that both nature and scripture need to work together in order for evolution to have any factual basis.

This text forces readers to open up their minds to new ideas and concepts concerning religion and science. It has intriguing information on how evolution can be accepted even by conservative Christians. With continual scripture evidence, as well scientific facts, Lamoureux states a new perspective on scripture and nature as a whole.
